***

The Board of Directors of Banco di Desio e della Brianza S.p.A., which met on 9 may 2023, approved the "Consolidated Quarterly Financial Report as at 31 march 2023" (hereinafter also the "Report"), prepared on a voluntary basis.

The Report was also prepared for the purposes of determining the result for the period for the calculation of own funds and prudential ratios.

As far as the recognition and measurement criteria are concerned, the Report is prepared in accordance with the IAS/IFRS in force at the reporting date, as shown below in the section "Basis of Preparation".

Please refer to the specific disclosure dedicated to the description of the reference context in which this financial disclosure was prepared, which is conditioned by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the significant uncertainties and risks related to this, which may also have a major impact on the expected results that are linked to a number factors beyond management's control.

The amounts in the tables and charts of the Report are expressed in thousands.

The financial statements in this Report are subject to a limited audit by KPMG S.p.A. for the inclusion of the interim result in equity.

Information on the impacts of the war in Ukraine

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began at the end of february 2022, seems destined to last over time, bringing with it negative political and economic consequences that constitute a significant element of uncertainty for the future scenarios described in the "Macroeconomic Scenario" disclosure below.

Monitoring activities continued on customer borrowers: the analysis of positions revealed a limited deterioration of outstanding credit lines, on which actions were taken to contain and manage the risk. Monitoring the indirectly most exposed positions is one of the main areas of attention in order to ensure the best quality of the credit portfolio over time and, at the same time, to identify the best solutions to enable companies to continue their business.

In continuity with the actions taken in the Covid context, the Bank adopted the Temporary Crisis Framework (TCF) that will allow SMEs to apply for access to MCC-guaranteed financing to address liquidity needs related to the economic and financial turmoil caused by the ongoing conflict.
