BASE PROSPECTUS DATED 13 June 2022
Banca Carige S.p.A.
(incorporated as a joint stock company in the Republic of Italy)
Euro 5,000,000,000 Covered Bond Programme
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed as to payments of interest and principal by
Carige Covered Bond S.r.l.
(incorporated as a limited liability company in the Republic of Italy)
The Euro 5,000,000,000 Covered Bond Programme (the "Programme") described in this base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus")
has been established by Banca Carige S.p.A. ("Banca Carige", the "Company", the "Bank" or the "Issuer") for the issuance of
covered bonds (the "Covered Bonds") guaranteed by Carige Covered Bond S.r.l. (the "Guarantor") pursuant to Article 7-bis of law
of 30 April 1999, No. 130, as amended and supplemented (the "Law 130") as implemented by Decree of the Ministry of Economy
and Finance of 14 December 2006, No. 310 (the "MEF Decree" or "Decree 310"), the Supervisory Instructions relating to covered
bonds (Obbligazioni Bancarie Garantite) under Chapter III, Section 3, of the 23th update to circular n. 285 dated 17 December 2013
containing the "Disposizioni di vigilanza per le banche", as further implemented or amended (the "BoI Regulations" and, together
with the Law 130 and the MEF Decree, jointly the "OBG Regulations"). The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all the Covered
Bonds from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed Euro 5,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies
calculated as described herein).
The Covered Bonds constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, guaranteed by the
Guarantor 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 Covered Bondholders will be collected by the
Guarantor on their behalf.
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF"), in its capacity as
competent authority in Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as a base prospectus under article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as
subsequently amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/2115 and Regulation (EU) 2021/337 (the "Prospectus Regulation") and the
Luxembourg act relating to prospectuses for securities dated 16 July 2019 (Loi du 16 juillet 2019 relative aux prospectus pour valeurs
mobilières et portant mise en oeuvre du règlement (UE) 2017/1129) (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law"). The CSSF only approves
this Base 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 Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing
in Covered Bonds.
Application has been made for Covered Bonds (other than N Covered Bonds) to be admitted during the period of 12 months following
the date of approval of this Base Prospectus to listing on the official list and 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. As referred to in Article 6(4) of the
Luxembourg Prospectus Law, by approving this Base 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.
In addition, the Issuer and each relevant Dealer named under "Subscription and Sale" may agree to make an application to list a Series
or Tranche on any other stock exchange as specified in the relevant Final Terms. The Programme also permits Covered Bonds to be
issued on an unlisted basis.
Covered Bonds may be issued in dematerialised form or in registered form also as German law governed registered covered bonds
(Namensschuldverschreibung) (the "N Covered Bonds"). The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved the information contained in
this Base Prospectus in relation to any issuance of the N Covered Bonds that are not to be publicly offered and not to be admitted to
trading on the regulated market of any Stock Exchange in any EU Member State and for which a prospectus is not required in
accordance with the Prospectus Regulation.
This Base Prospectus will be valid until 13 June 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall have no obligation to supplement
this Base Prospectus in the event of significant new factors, material mistakes or material inaccuracies after the end of its 12-month
validity period.
Where Covered Bonds issued under the Programme are admitted to trading on a regulated market within the European Economic Area
or offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area in circumstances which require the publication of a
prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation, such Covered Bonds will not have a denomination of less than Euro 100,000 (or, where
the Covered Bonds are issued in a currency other than euro, the equivalent amount in such other currency). The terms and conditions
of the N Covered Bonds (the "N Covered Bond Conditions") will specify the minimum denomination for N Covered Bonds, which
will not be listed. This document does not constitute a prospectus for purposes of the German Capital Investments Act
(Vermögensanlagengesetz).
Under the Programme, the Issuer may issue Covered Bonds denominated in any currency, including Euro, GBP, CHF, Yen and USD.
Interest on the Covered Bonds shall accrue monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually, in arrear at fixed or floating rate, increased
or decreased by a margin. The Issuer may also issue Covered Bonds at a discounted price with no interest accruing and repayable at
nominal value (zero-coupon Covered Bonds).

The terms of each Series or Tranche will be set forth in the Final Terms relating to such Series or Tranche prepared in accordance
with the provisions of this Base Prospectus and, if listed, to be delivered to the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
on or before the date of issue of such Series or Tranche.
The Covered Bonds issued in dematerialised form will be held on behalf of their ultimate owners, until redemption or cancellation
thereof, by Monte Titoli S.p.A. whose registered office is in Milan, at Piazza degli Affari, No. 6, 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 Relevant Clearing
System which holds account with Monte Titoli or any depository banks appointed by the Relevant Clearing System. The expression
"Relevant Clearing Systems" means any of Clearstream Banking, Société Anonyme ("Clearstream") and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V.
as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"). Each Series or Tranche is and will be deposited with Monte Titoli on the relevant
Issue Date (as defined in the "Terms and Conditions of the Covered Bonds" below). Monte Titoli shall act as depositary for Clearstream
and Euroclear. The Covered Bonds issued in dematerialised form will at all times be held in book entry form and title to the Covered
Bonds will be evidenced by book entries in accordance with the provisions of legislative decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, as
amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Financial Services Act") and implementing regulations and with the joint
regulation of the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa ("CONSOB") and the Bank of Italy dated 22 February 2008 and
published in the Official Gazette No. 54 of 4 March 2008, as subsequently amended and supplemented. No physical document of title
is and will be issued in respect of the Covered Bonds issued in dematerialised form.
The Covered Bonds will be subject to mandatory and optional redemption in whole or in part in certain circumstances, as set out in
Condition 8 (Redemption and Purchase).
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Covered Bonds may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of
the Covered Bonds and the Terms and Conditions of the N Covered Bonds herein, in which event (in the case of Covered Bonds
admitted to the Official List only) a drawdown base prospectus, if appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect
of the agreement reached in relation to such Covered Bonds.
Interest amounts payable on Floating Rate Covered Bonds may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR as specified in the relevant
Final Terms. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the European Money Markets Institute, as administrator of EURIBOR is included
in ESMA's register of administrators under Article 36 of the Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011, as amended (the "Benchmarks
Regulation").
Each Series or Tranche may, on or after the relevant issue, be assigned a rating as specified in the relevant Final Terms by DBRS
Morningstar ("DBRS"), and/or Moody's France SAS ("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 (the "Rating
Agencies"). The rating of certain Series or Tranches to be issued under the Programme may be specified in the applicable Final Terms
or in the N Covered Bond Conditions (as applicable). Whether or not each 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 from time to time (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 the EU CRA Regulation, 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 or in the N Covered Bond Conditions (as applicable). 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 (1) the rating 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) the rating
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 (1) the rating 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) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the UK which is certified under the UK CRA Regulation.
Moody's and DBRS are rating agencies established in the European Union and registered under the EU 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. The European Securities and Markets Authority (the "ESMA") is obliged to maintain on
its website, https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk, a list of credit rating agencies registered and certified
in accordance with the EU CRA Regulation The credit ratings included or referred to in this Base Prospectus have been issued by
DBRS and/or Moody's, each of which is established in the European Union and each of which is registered under the EU CRA
Regulation. As such Moody's and DBRS are included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the ESMA on its website in
accordance with such EU CRA Regulation as of the date of this Base Prospectus.
Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see the section headed "Documents
Incorporated by Reference"), the information on the websites to which this Base Prospectus refers does not form part of this
Base Prospectus and has not been scrutinised or approved by the CSSF.
A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Covered Bonds and may be subject to revision or withdrawal by
the assigning Rating Agency at any time and each rating shall be evaluated independently of any other.
An investment in Covered Bond issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of certain risks and other
factors that should be considered in connection with an investment in the Covered Bonds, see the section entitled "Risk Factors"
of this Base Prospectus.

Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any
Covered Bonds (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation or (b) should be considered
as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Sellers, the Guarantor, the Joint Arrangers or the Dealers that any recipient

make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness, of the Issuer and the Guarantor. Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied
in connection with the Programme or the issue of any Covered Bonds constitutes an offer or invitation by or on
behalf of the Issuer or the Sellers or the Guarantor or the Joint Arrangers, or the Dealers to any person to subscribe
for or to purchase any Covered Bonds.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of the Covered Bonds shall in any
circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer, the Sellers and the Guarantor is
correct at any time subsequent to the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with the

Joint Arrangers and the Dealers expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the
Issuer, the Sellers and the Guarantor during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the Covered
Bonds of any information coming to their attention.
This Base Prospectus is valid for 12 months following its date of approval and it and any supplement hereto as

connection with the Programme is accurate at any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if
different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.
The Issuer has undertaken with the Dealers to supplement this Base Prospectus or publish a new Base Prospectus
if and when the information herein should become materially inaccurate or incomplete and has further agreed with
the Dealers to furnish a supplement to the Base Prospectus in the event of any significant new factor, material
mistake or inaccuracy relating to the information included in this Base Prospectus which is capable of affecting
the assessment of the Covered Bonds and which arises or is noted between the time when this Base Prospectus
has been approved and the final closing of any Series or Tranche of Covered Bonds offered to the public or, as
the case may be, when trading of any Series or Tranche of Covered Bonds on a regulated market begins, whichever
occurs later, in respect of Covered Bonds issued on the basis of this Base Prospectus.
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Covered Bonds
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, any document incorporated herein by reference and any Final Terms and the
offering, sale and delivery of the Covered Bonds in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into

inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.
For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Covered Bonds and on the distribution
of the Base Prospectus or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Covered Bonds, see "Selling
Restrictions" of this Base Prospectus. In particular, the Covered Bonds have not been and will not be registered
under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Subject to certain exceptions, Covered Bonds may

restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Covered Bonds in the European
Economic Area, including the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, the Republic of Italy, and in
Japan. For a description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of Covered Bonds and on distribution of this
Base Prospectus, see "Subscription and Sale".
Neither this Base Prospectus, any supplement thereto, nor any Final Terms (or any part thereof) constitutes an
offer, nor may they be used for the purpose of an offer to sell any of the Covered Bonds, or a solicitation of an
offer to buy any of the Covered Bonds, by anyone in any jurisdiction or in any circumstances in which such offer
or solicitation is not authorised or is unlawful. Each recipient of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms shall be
taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer, the
Sellers and the Guarantor.

IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms 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,
"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 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 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 domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act
2020) (the "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 domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no
key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of 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 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 the 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 MiFID 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 Joint Arrangers 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 in respect of any Covered Bonds will include
a legend entitled "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 person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Covered Bonds (a "distributor") 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 set out in 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 Joint Arrangers nor the Dealers nor
any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product Governance
Rules.
