“REPORT OF THE BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS MEETING CALLED TO

APPROVE THE ANNUAL REPORT OF BANCA ANTONVENETA S.P.A. AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2011,

PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 2429, COMMA 2 OF THE ITALIAN CIVIL CODE”

Dear Shareholder,

During the period that ended on 31 December 2011, the Board of Statutory Auditors performed

supervisory activities as required by law based on behavioral principles recommended by the Consiglio

Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti (National Board of Accountants) and accounting professionals,

taking into account supervisory instructions received from the Bank of Italy and deliberations from

Consob.

As a first point of reference, this Board of Statutory Auditors was nominated in the Shareholder’s Meeting

of 29 July 2011.

The Board of Statutory Auditors, as foreseen by art. 2403 of the Italian Civil Code and Legislative Decree

n. 39/2010, organized their supervisory activities based upon the observance of laws and the Statute, in

respect of principles for correct administration, and in particular, the adequacy of the organization’s

structure, internal controls , and the accounting administration system, adopted by the Bank and on the

independence of the external auditor.

From the stated activity and their results, the Board of Statutory Auditors responds with the present

report.

The Board of Statutory Auditors emphasizes to have adhered to the request made by the President of

the Board of Directors on 20 March 2012, to waive the terms as per art 2429 of the Italian Civil Code,

that foresee making the annual report available by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Statutory Auditors has verified and determined that the annual report as of 31 December

2011, as restated in conformity with IAS-IFRAS (International Accounting Standards and International

Financial Reporting Standard) is in observance of dispositions from the Bank of Italy currently in effect,

correctly represents the income, shareholder’s equity, and financial situation of the Bank and its

management performance.

Net income for the current period, excluding the effects of PPA (Purchase Price Allocation),

amortization of intangibles with relative tax effect, impairment on intangibles, and value adjustments on

impairment, amount to Euro 160.7 million.

With respect to IAS 36, testing was performed on the impairment value and on the defined useful life of

the intangible assets, effected by the competent divisions of the Bank in collaboration and together

with the Group Head of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A., and the annual report results

evidence a loss of Euro 1.295.712.349,73.

The Board of Statutory Auditors retains that the transactions effected by the Bank have been

conducted with respect to principles of correct administration, were deliberated and initiated in

conformity with the laws and social statute. They do not appear to have imprudent, risky manifestations,

with potential conflicts of interest or are in contrast with the deliberations assumed by the Assembly or

such so that compromise the integrity of the shareholder’s equity.

The Board of Statutory Auditors participated in 2 Assemblies, 3 Supervisory Board Meetings ex Leg.

Decree 231/01, and 13 Board of Director’s meetings, that have taken place during the year, and have

obtained by the Directors during the course of the aforementioned gatherings, periodic information on

the general performance of management and its predictable evolution, as well as on the delegated

faculties, and on operations of greater economic importance, finance, and equity effected by the

Bank.

The information received did not evidence the existence of atypical and or unusual operations, and

during the course of the year, transactions were initiated with related parties traceable to ordinary

intergroup banking activities, for which, in accordance with regulatory provisions in force, information

has been provided in the report on management.

With regards to operations carried out with the entities that perform the functions of administration,

management, and control, they were deliberated with respect to art. 136 of the Cumulative Text

relating to banking and finance, and by supervisory instructions received from the Bank of Italy,

notwithstanding the obligations foreseen by art. 2391of the Italian Civil Code, in matters dealing with

the directors.

The Board of Statutory Auditors, in the course of 2011, was called upon to express their opinion on the

following matters:

- conformity of the operation for the issuing of bank bonds guaranteed by Banca Monte dei
