PRESS RELEASE

TRASACTIONS ON OWN SHARES

Verona, April 26th, 2017. Following the approval of the plan for the purchase and sale of own shares by the General Meeting of Cattolica Assicurazioni on April 22nd, 2017, the company announces the continuation of such activity on own shares, on the basis of the new authorization granted by the shareholders.

It is here reminded that the plan for the purchase and sale of own shares, already approved by the General Meeting of April 21st, 2012, April 20th, 2013, April 26th 2014, April 25th, 2015, April 16th 2016 and approved by the aforementioned Meeting, concerns the purchase, on one or more occasions, of own shares up to the maximum number permitted by current legislative provisions, and therefore up to 20% of the pro tempore share capital of the Company, having taken into account the own shares already held by the same and by its subsidiaries, for a period of 18 months as from the date of the General Meeting's resolution.

The purchase and sale of own shares has a twofold purpose: the possibility of availing in advance of a block of shares available for extraordinary transactions, and for contained measures on the market aimed at providing liquidity and stable volumes for security trading, and to avoid uncertainties and unjustified fluctuations in listed prices. Furthermore, the purchase of own shares can be carried out with a view to medium and long-term investment or in any event in order to seize market opportunities, each time it is appropriate, both on the market and (only with regard to that which concerns sale) on the so-called over the counter markets or also outside any market, providing this takes into account the listings of the organised market. It is hereby specified that the request for authorisation to purchase own shares is not directed at transactions for the reduction of the Company's share capital via cancellation of the own shares acquired and/or serving the stock option plans.

No transactions on own shares have been concluded by the Company in the period between April 18th and April 25th, 2017 within the limits granted by the General Meeting (for the trades from April 18th to April 21st the resolution taken on April 16th 2016 and for the trades of April 24th and 25th the resolution taken on April 22nd 2017, as already communicated to the market with the press releases published on those same days).

Cattolica Assicurazioni holds a total of 5,967,607 own shares equal to approximately 3.42% of its share capital.
