RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETING AND SALES TO RETAIL INVESTORS
PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of Sales to EEA and 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 EEA or in the UK. 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 2002/92/EC (as amended or
superseded), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point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 the PRIIPs
Regulation for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors
in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the
PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market Solely for
the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in
respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible
counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for
distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a distributor) should take into
consideration the manufacturers' 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 manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
SINGAPORE: SECTION 309B(1)(C) NOTIFICATION

In addition, this Prospectus contains (or incorporates by reference) financial data derived from:
-
the press release dated 4 August 2020 announcing approval of the consolidated results of the
Issuer as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and the press release dated 4 November
2020 announcing approval of the consolidated results of the Issuer as at and for the nine
months ended 30 September 2020 (together, the "Press Releases"): see items (4) and (5) of
"Information Incorporated by Reference" below; and
-
the solvency and financial condition report for the years 2019 and 2018 of the ISP Vita Solvency
II Insurance Group (i.e. the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries together with companies

been audited or, as the case may be, reviewed, by the independent auditors of the Issuer, as
set out in the audit and review reports thereon incorporated by reference in the Prospectus.
The Press Releases contain, in addition to financial data of the ISP Vita Group as at and for the six

financial data of the ISP Vita Group as well as certain unaudited financial data and solvency ratios
of the ISP Vita Solvency II Insurance Group as a whole as at 30 June 2020 and 30 September 2020.
See further footnote (3) to the Press Releases. These unaudited financial data and solvency ratios
have been derived from the accounting records and Solvency II reporting dataset of the Issuer, the
ISP Vita Group and the Solvency II Insurance Group as at the respective dates and for the respective
periods to which they relate, and (save for the restatements indicated below) prepared on a basis
which are comparable with the consolidated financial information as at 31 December 2018 and 31

in (or derived from) items (6)-(7) of the Information Incorporated by Reference, as a result of the
different scope of presentation.
Investors are further cautioned that unaudited data have not been subject to any audit procedures
or, save in the case of the unaudited financial data derived from the 2020 Interim Report, review
procedures, by independent auditors and accordingly should not place undue reliance on such
data, which is included herein for information purposes only.
Investors are moreover cautioned that the composition of the ISP Vita Solvency II Insurance
Group has recently changed following completion of the acquisition of UBI Banca by Intesa
Sanpaolo: see further "Description of the Issuer Recent developments".

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
Certain information regarding markets, market size, market share, market position, growth rates
and other industry data pertaining to the Issuer's and the Group's business contained in this
Prospectus consists of estimates based on data reports compiled by professional organisations and
analysts, on data from other external sources, and on the Issuer's knowledge of sales and markets.
In many cases, there is no readily available external information (whether from trade associations,
government bodies or other organisations) to validate market-related analyses and estimates,
requiring the Issuer to rely on internally developed estimates. In respect of information in this
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 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.

RISK FACTORS
The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes.
Most of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer is not in a position to
express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring. In addition, factors which are material for
the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the Notes are also described below.
The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent to an investment in
the Notes, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with
the Notes may occur for other reasons which may not be considered significant risks by the Issuer based on
information currently available to it or which it currently may not be able to anticipate. Accordingly, the
Issuer does not represent that the statements below regarding the risk of holding any Notes are exhaustive.
Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus and reach
their own views prior to making any investment decision.
Words and expressions defined in the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" below or elsewhere have the
same meanings when used in this section. References to a "Condition" is to such numbered condition in the
Terms and Conditions of the Notes. Prospective investors should read the entire Prospectus, including the
information incorporated by reference.
Prospective investors are invited to carefully read this chapter on the risk factors before making any investment
decision, in order to understand the risks related to the Group and obtain a better appreciation of the Issuer's
abilities to satisfy the obligations related to the Notes.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE ISSUER
The risks below have been classified into the following categories:
1. Risks relating to global macroeconomic conditions and the market generally
2. Market risks; operational and liquidity risks
3. Risks related to reliance on the Intesa Sanpaolo Group
4. Risk relating to the Group's insurance business
5. Legal and regulatory risks
1. RISKS RELATING TO GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND THE MARKET
GENERALLY
The Group's business is subject to global macroeconomic conditions and financial market
environment
The global economy, the condition of financial markets and macroeconomic developments can all
influence the Group's performance. Globally, the financial system has experienced unprecedented
levels of market volatility due to adverse credit and liquidity conditions and disruptions in the
financial markets. Disruption in the global credit markets has created increasingly difficult
conditions in the financial markets. These conditions have affected liquidity and resulted in greater
volatility in global financial markets, and continue to affect the functioning of financial markets and
to impact the global economy. In Europe, despite measures taken by several governments,
international and supranational organisations and monetary authorities to provide financial
assistance to Eurozone countries in economic difficulty and to mitigate the possibility of default by
