Milan, 16 April 2026 - The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Banco BPM S.p.A., attended by approximately 20,000 shareholders holding no. 1,128,083,640 shares representing approximately 74.45% of the share capital, approved all items on the agenda by an overwhelming majority.
The Chairman of Banco BPM, Mr. Massimo Tononi, said: «I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the Shareholders for the trust and support demonstrated, as well as to our clients and to all colleagues. The appointment of the new Board constitutes a significant milestone and, concurrently, the beginning of a new chapter, marked by the presence of well-established professionals alongside new competencies, capable of further enhancing the Bank's wealth of experience and diversity of perspectives. This combination of expertise will be able to operate effectively and responsibly in the interests of the Bank.
The Board elected in the context of this Shareholders' Meeting is entrusted in guiding the Bank over the next three years in a spirit of collaboration and constructive dialogue, resolutely continuing along the path already undertaken, which has produced significant results and will continue to generate value for shareholders and all stakeholders, while preserving the Bank's independence.
Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude, both personally and on behalf of the Bank, to the outgoing members of the Board of Directors for their valuable contribution over the years, and to extend my best wishes to the newly appointed members for their work ahead».
Mr. Giuseppe Castagna, Chief Executive Officer of Banco BPM, also taking the floor at the close of the Shareholders' Meeting, emphasised: «I would like to echo the Chairman's remarks in thanking the Shareholders and our investors for their support, the outgoing directors for their contribution to the Group's growth, and in welcoming the newly appointed members of the Board of Directors.
The past year closed with particularly significant results: a net profit of over euro 2 billion, euro 1.5 billion in dividends distributed, alongside a solid capital base well represented by a CET1 Ratio of 13.6%.
Moreover, if we look at market performance since the last renewal of the corporate bodies, which took place three years ago, in April, Banco BPM's share price has increased by over 200%, generating a Total Shareholders' Return of more than 300%.
These achievements have been made possible by a sound and consistent business plan, to which our product factories have made a fundamental contribution. This path confirms our ability to operate as a community and relationship bank, deeply rooted in the territories in which we operate and focused on the needs of families and businesses.
These objectives have been achieved thanks to the daily commitment of all Banco BPM employees, who have always worked with professionalism, dedication and a sense of responsibility, often in complex environments.
The new Board of Directors and management are now called upon to press ahead with determination towards the 2027 targets set out in the Strategic Plan, remaining faithful to Banco BPM's mission and commitment to serve as a point of reference for all shareholders and other stakeholders».
