Subject to the offer conditions in the offer document, the Bidder intends to offer the minimum consideration prescribed under German law, which will finally be determined by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) and which the Bidder expects to be 0.485 new ordinary shares in UniCredit (UniCredit Offer Shares) for each tendered Commerzbank Share. The consummation of the Offer will be subject to certain closing conditions to be further detailed in the offer document. These will include merger control, foreign investment control, and EU foreign subsidies clearances, regulatory clearances (including, but not limited to, clearance by the European Central Bank and German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) in Germany) as well as other customary offer conditions. The Offer is expected to be formally launched at the beginning of May with an offer period of 4 weeks. Subject to the fulfilment or waiver by UniCredit of the conditions to the Offer, settlement is expected to be completed by the first half of 2027 after having obtained all necessary regulatory clearances, as will be further detailed in the offer document. As of April 7, 2026, Commerzbank currently sees no basis for a mutually agreed value-accretive transaction after interactions with UniCredit which did not demonstrated sufficient value upside potential for its shareholders beyond the current standalone strategy. UniCredit has also shown no willingness to offer Commerzbank shareholders a necessary adequate premium. Commerzbank will continue to focus on the successful implementation of its standalone strategy. Commerzbank remains open to discussions and proposals that create concrete value for its shareholders and stakeholders. As of May 4, 2026, UniCredit publishes offer document with unchanged terms: 0.485 UniCredit shares per Commerzbank share, corresponding to approximately €31.07 per share based on UniCredit's closing price of €64.06. Unicredit shareholders approved a capital increase for the bank which should allow it to launch this offer of nearly €35 billion. The offer is open for six weeks, until June 16, 2026. The Management Board and Supervisory Board of Commerzbank will carefully examine the offer document and publish their reasoned statement in accordance with Section 27 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG) within the statutory period. As on May 18, 2026, Commerzbank's supervisory and management boards recommend that shareholders not accept UniCredit's exchange offer. As of June 2, 2026, UniCredit S.p.A. secured 7.58% of the capital from Commerzbank shareholders. Combined with the 26.77% stake it already held, UniCredit's shareholding would rise to 34.35% stake in Commerzbank AG.

Commerzbank CEO Reportedly Rules Out UniCredit S.p.A. Takeover Commerzbank AG's (XTRA:CBK) CEO Bettina Orlopp has confirmed that Italy’s UniCredit SpA (BIT:UCG) will not acquire the German lender, emphasizing that any potential deal rests with shareholders, Reuters reported on September 3, 2025. Speaking at a banking conference, Orlopp stressed Commerzbank’s independence, noting that any transaction would only proceed if it creates clear value, the media said. "Our shareholders will decide, and that's where the decision belongs," she was cited as saying. UniCredit has built a 26% stake in Commerzbank over the past year and has been pushing for a complete merger. It recently confirmed it does not plan to seek board representation and that it will closely monitor the German bank’s efforts to strengthen its business and generate shareholder value. Commerzbank and the German government, holding around 12% of the local bank, have consistently resisted the bid. Ankündigung • Feb 26
German Regulator Reportedly Assesses UniCredit Bid for Stake in Commerzbank Italian lender UniCredit S.p.A. (BIT:UCG) has reported its planned acquisition of a 29.99% minority stake in Germany's Commerzbank AG (XTRA:CBK) to the German Cartel Office for assessment, a spokesperson for the regulator said. The application, dated February 24, 2025, appears on a list of current merger control proceedings on the office's website. The German authority has up to one month to decide whether the purchase is problematic in a first-phase assessment procedure. UniCredit announced an initial 9% stake in Commerzbank in September, angering the Berlin government and the German lender, which has described the move as hostile and unilateral. The Italian bank has not backed down, however, and it is also awaiting European Central Bank approval for the stake it has built, largely using derivatives. UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel has said he wanted to wait until a new government was in place in Berlin after Sunday's election before making an offer for the rest of Commerzbank. The planned stake reported to the German regulator sits just below the 30% threshold that would trigger a mandatory takeover offer under German rules. Orcel said this month that a decision on what to do with the Commerzbank stake would be taken in three to five quarters. Ankündigung • Feb 01

Commerzbank Reportedly Open to Tie-Up Talks with UniCredit Commerzbank AG (XTRA:CBK) is open to talks about a potential tie-up with UniCredit S.p.A. (BIT:UCG), according to people familiar with the discussions, after the Italian bank built a 9% stake in its German rival and announced it was taking regulatory steps to increase its stake further. UniCredit forked out up to EUR 1.4 billion to become the second- largest Commerzbank shareholder after the German government, acquiring a 4.5% stake from the Finance Agency on Tuesday night and a similar amount of shares on the open market. The move by UniCredit s chief executive Andrea Orcel, the highest profile dealmaker in European banking, could open the door to long-awaited banking consolidation on the continent. Berlin last week said it was planning to sell down its 16.5% stake in Commerzbank, which it has held since rescuing the lender during the financial crisis in 2009. UniCredit said 11 September 2024 it would submit regulatory filings for authorisation to potentially increase its stake in Commerzbank to more than 9.9% if and when necessary . The German government, whose stake has now fallen to 12%, has committed to a lock-up period of 90 days before selling any more Commerzbank shares. Future decisions would depend on the investment meeting UniCredit's strict financial parameters which have been clearly and consistently communicated to the market, UniCredit said. People familiar with Commerzbank's internal discussions told the Financial Times that the German lender had not previously been contacted by UniCredit and learnt about the transaction on 11 September 2024 morning via regulatory statements. But the people added that Commerzbank would assess UniCredit s plans with an open mind. In a brief statement at midday 11 September 2024, the German lender said it had taken note of UniCredit's announcement on 12 September 2024, and the move was testament to the progress made and the position of Commerzbank. The bank said its boards would continue to act in the best interest of all our shareholders and our key stakeholders such as employees and clients but declined to comment further. UniCredit said on 11 September 2024 morning that it would engage with Commerzbank AG to explore value-creating opportunities for all stakeholders in both banks. Shares in the German lender shot up 16% in early trading in Frankfurt on 11 September 2024, trading at the highest level since July with a market capitalisation of EUR 17.3 billion. UniCredit shares rose by as much as 1.95% in Milan, giving it a market value of close to EUR 60 billion. Ankündigung • Sep 11
