Siena, 21 November 2017 - Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. (“BMPS” or the "Offeror") on the basis of the preliminary results, hereby gives notice that - in the context of the voluntary partial public offering for exchange and settlement addressed to holders of ordinary shares of the Bank (ISIN code IT0005276776) arising out of the conversion, following the application of burden-sharing measures under Article 22, paragraph 2 of the Law Decree n. 237 of 23 December 2016 (as converted, with amendments, into Law n.15 of 17 February 2017,and subsequently amended) of the subordinated bond issue “€2,160,558,000 Floating Rate Subordinated Upper Tier II 2008-2018” (ISIN code IT0004352586) (the “Offering”) - n. 198,414,482.00 BMPS UT2 Shares, equal to 83.475502% of the BMPS UT2 Shares to which the Offering relates (equal to a total of n. 237,691,869), has been tendered into the Offering.
On the basis of the above mentioned preliminary results - considering the criteria to calculate the Consideration, as indicated in the Offer Document - the aggregate nominal amount of the Senior Debt Securities to be issued in service of the Offering is therefore equal to Eur 1,663,662,811.00. Since such value is higher than the Maximum Aggregate Nominal Amount of the Senior Debt Securities which can be issued in service of the Offering (equal to Eur 1,536,000,000.00), the BMPS UT2 Shares tendered into the Offering will be allocated on a “pro rata basis” under which the Offeror, in the name and on behalf of the MEF, will acquire from all the Tenderers the same quota of BMPS UT2 Shares that they tendered into the Offering.
The Pro Rata Allocation ratio calculated on the basis of the provisional results is equal to 92.3264%, and therefore the Offeror, in the name and on behalf of the MEF, will acquire 92.3264% of the BMPS UT2 Shares tendered into the offering from each Tenderer and will return, in accordance with the Offer Document, the remaining BMPS UT2 Shares.
The final results (included the final Pro Rata Allocation ratio) will be communicated as soon as the data concerning (i) potential request to withdraw the Tenders submitted by those who are entitled, following the publication - on 17 November - of the Supplement to the Registered Document and the Supplement to the Offer Document, and (ii) the regularisation of any irregular Tender, will be known. In any case the above mentioned final results will be communicated by 7:59 am of 23 November 2017.
The Exchange Date of the Offering will be 24 November 2017.
