Intesa Sanpaolo confirms plans for bolstering capital base and growing without using “Tremonti Bonds”

Torino, Milano, 29 September 2009 — At today’s meetings the Intesa Sanpaolo Management Board chaired by Enrico Salza and the Supervisory Board chaired by Giovanni Bazoli have decided — in light of better trends in the Group’s performance and the economic scenario than those foreseeable at the beginning of the year — to issue up to 1.5 billion euro of Tier 1 and speed up and increase capital management actions (e.g. partial or full disposals, partnerships, listings) envisaged in the Business Plan in order to assure the Group the capital base necessary to sustain a growth in lending activity even greater than that foreseeable today. Thus, relying on a capital base adequate for growth, the two Boards have decided not to carry out procedures started on 20 March last for the issue of special bank bonds to be subscribed by the Ministry for Economy and Finance (so-called “Tremonti Bonds”) and consequently not to make the relevant request for subscription to the Ministry for Economy and Finance and the Bank of Italy.
