European Economic Area, the Prospectus Directive) to approve this Base Prospectus as a base prospectus for the
purposes of the Prospectus Directive. The CSSF assumes no responsibility for the economic and financial soundness of

credit rating agency not established in the EEA but endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the EEA and

accordance with the Prospectus Directive, provided that any such prospectus has subsequently been
completed by final terms which specify that offers may be made other than pursuant to Article 3(2) of the
Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and such offer is made in the period beginning and
ending on the dates specified for such purpose in such prospectus or final terms, as applicable. Except to the
extent sub-paragraph (ii) above may apply, neither the Issuer nor any Dealer have authorised, nor do they

4

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.

Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in the applicable
Final Terms 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, there is no assurance
that the Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilisation Manager) will
undertake stabilisation action. 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 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 Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant
Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant
Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in accordance
with all applicable laws and rules.

In the case of Subordinated Notes, unless otherwise permitted by current
laws, regulations, directives and/or the Bank of Italy Regulations
applicable to the issue of Subordinated Notes, Subordinated Notes must
have a minimum maturity of five years (or, if issued for an indefinite
duration, redemption of such Notes may only occur five years after their

will be redeemed at the Maturity Date at par.
In the case of Subordinated Notes, early redemption may occur only at
the option of the Issuer and with the prior approval of the Relevant

7

Authority and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, including Articles 77 (b) and 78 of the CRR Regulation.
Optional Redemption
The Final Terms issued in respect of each issue of Notes will state
whether such Notes may be redeemed prior to their stated maturity at the
option of the Issuer (either in whole or in part) and/or (in the case of
Senior Notes only) the holders and, if so, the terms applicable to such
redemption.
Under applicable laws and regulations at the date of this Base Prospectus,
other than for taxation reasons or for regulatory reasons or following an
event of default, Subordinated Notes may not be repaid prior to five years
from the relevant Issue Date.
Other than following an event of default, any redemption of Subordinated

(including early redemption for taxation reasons or early redemption for
regulatory reasons) will be subject to the prior approval of the Relevant
Authority as described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes

Day Count Fraction as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant

on the same basis as the floating rate under a notional interest
rate swap transaction in the relevant Specified Currency
governed by an agreement incorporating the 2006 ISDA
Definitions (as published by the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc., and as amended and updated as at
the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes of the relevant

on such other basis as may be agreed between the Issuer and the
relevant Dealer.

The margin (if any) relating to such floating rate will be agreed between
the Issuer and the relevant Dealer for each Series of Floating Rate Notes.
Floating Rate Notes may also have a maximum interest rate, a minimum
interest rate or both.
Interest on Floating Rate Notes in respect of each Interest Period, as
agreed prior to issue by the Issuer and the relevant Dealer, will be
payable on such Interest Payment Dates, and will be calculated on the
basis of such Day Count Fraction, as may be agreed between the Issuer
and the relevant Dealer.
Denomination of Notes:
The Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be specified in
the relevant Final Terms, subject to compliance with all applicable legal

requirements and save that the minimum denomination of each Note
admitted to trading on a regulated market within European Economic
Area will be 100,000.
So long as the clearing systems so permit, Notes will be issued in
denominations representing the aggregate of (i) a minimum
denomination of 100,000 plus (ii) integral multiples of another smaller
amount, and such Notes may be traded in amounts which, although
greater than 100,000, are not integral multiples of 100,000. In such a
case, a Noteholder who, as a result of trading such amounts, holds a
principal amount of less than 100,000 will not receive a definitive Note
in respect of such holding (if definitive Notes are printed) and would
need to purchase a principal amount of Notes such that it holds an
amount equal to one or more Specified Denominations.
Withholding Tax:
All payments of principal, interest, premium and other amounts in
respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of withholdings or
deductions for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of, the Republic of
Italy, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by the
application or official interpretation thereof. In such a case, the Issuer
shall pay such additional amounts as shall result in receipt by the
Noteholders and the Couponholders of such amounts as would have been
received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required,
subject to certain exceptions (including the ICMA Standard EU
Exceptions), all as described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes --
Taxation".
Status of the Notes:
Notes may be issued by the Issuer on a subordinated or unsubordinated

basis, as specified in the relevant Final Terms.
Senior Notes will constitute unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of
the Issuer, as described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes -- Status
of the Notes".
Subordinated Notes will constitute subordinated obligations of the Issuer,

9

as described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes -- Status of the
Notes".
Rating:
Notes issued pursuant to the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where

an issue of Notes is rated, its rating will be specified in the Final Terms.
A 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.

or further stock exchanges or markets agreed between the Issuer and the
relevant Dealer in relation to the Series. Notes which are neither listed
nor admitted to trading on any market may also be issued.
The applicable Final Terms will state whether or not the relevant Notes
are to be listed and/or admitted to trading and, if so, on which stock
exchanges and/or markets.
Governing law:
The Notes and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in
connection with them will be governed by, and shall be construed in

applicable to Subordinated Notes will be governed by, and shall be
construed in accordance with, Italian law.
