Information for U.S. Persons

The shares to be issued in connection with the Offer may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or pursuant to a valid exemption from registration.

The Offer is being made for the shares of MEDIOBANCA - Banca di Credito Finanziario Società per Azioni by Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A., each of which is a company incorporated in Italy. Information distributed in connection with the Offer is subject to Italian disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States. Financial statements and financial information included in the offer document or the exemption document, if any, have been prepared in accordance with the international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and may not be comparable to the financial statements or financial information of U.S. companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under U.S. federal securities laws in respect of the Offer, since Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. and MEDIOBANCA - Banca di Credito Finanziario Società per Azioni are located in Italy, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of Italy or other countries outside the U.S. You may not be able to sue a company incorporated outside the U.S. or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a company incorporated outside the U.S. and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

The Offer will not be submitted to the review or registration procedures of any regulator outside of Italy and has not been approved or recommended by any governmental securities regulator. The Offer will be made in the U.S. pursuant to the exemptions from (i) the “U.S. tender offer rules” under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “U.S. Exchange Act”) provided by Rule 14d-1(c) thereunder and (ii) the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 802 thereunder. These exemptions permit a bidder to satisfy certain substantive and procedural U.S. Exchange Act rules governing tender offers by complying with home jurisdiction law or practice, and exempt the bidder from compliance with certain other U.S. Exchange Act rules. As a result, the Offer will be made in accordance with the applicable regulatory, disclosure and procedural requirements under Italian law, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments, that are different from those applicable in the U.S. To the extent that the Offer is subject to the U.S. securities laws, such laws only apply to holders of the shares of MEDIOBANCA - Banca di Credito Finanziario Società per Azioni in the U.S. and no other person has any claims under such laws.

To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulation in Italy, and pursuant to the exemptions available under Rule 14e-5(b) under the U.S. Exchange Act, the Offeror and its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time, and other than pursuant to the Offer, directly or indirectly purchase, or arrange to purchase, the shares of MEDIOBANCA - Banca di Credito Finanziario Società per Azioni, that are the subject of the Offer or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such shares, including purchases in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices outside the U.S. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Italy, if any such purchases are made, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. shareholders of MEDIOBANCA - Banca di Credito Finanziario Società per Azioni of such information. In addition, the financial advisors to the Offeror, may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of MEDIOBANCA - Banca di Credito Finanziario Società per Azioni, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities.

Since the announcement of the Offer, the Offeror and certain of its affiliates have engaged, and intend to continue to engage throughout the acceptance period, in various asset management, brokerage, banking-

related, collateral-taking, estates and trusts services, and custody-related activities involving the Offeror common shares outside the United States. Among other things, the Offeror or one or more of its affiliates intends to engage in trades in the Offeror common shares for the accounts of its customers for the purpose of effecting brokerage transactions for its customers and other customer facilitation transactions in respect of the Offeror common shares. Further, certain of Offeror’s asset management affiliates may buy and sell the Offeror common shares or indices including the Offeror common shares, outside the United States as part of their ordinary, discretionary investment management activities on behalf of their customers. Certain of Offeror’s affiliates may continue to (a) engage in the marketing and sale to customers of funds that include the Offeror common shares, providing investment advice and financial planning guidance to customers that may include information about the Offeror common shares, (b) transact in the Offeror common shares as trustees and/or personal representatives of trusts and estates, (c) provide custody services relating to the Offeror common shares and (d) engage in accepting the Offeror common shares as collateral for loans. These activities occur outside of the United States and the transactions in the Offeror common shares may be effected on the Euronext Milan, other exchanges or alternative trading systems and in the over-the-counter market.
