Banco BPM has launched, through its insurance arm Banco BPM Vita, a voluntary public cash tender offer for Anima Holding, the Italian asset management group, valuing the transaction at approximately €1.6 billion. The offer, announced on 6 November 2024, is pitched at €6.20 per share, representing a premium of 7.8% to Anima's closing share price prior to the announcement. The Italian lender is seeking to acquire full control of Anima and take the asset manager private.

Banco BPM already holds a 22% stake in Anima. The tender offer is structured as a voluntary bid, conditional on Banco BPM reaching at least 66.67% of Anima's share capital. 

#### OFFER CONDITIONS

The 66.67% minimum acceptance threshold is the principal condition that Banco BPM must satisfy for the transaction to proceed. Given that the bank already controls 22% of Anima's capital, it requires acceptances representing approximately 45% of Anima's share capital to reach the threshold. 

Beyond the minimum acceptance threshold, the deal is subject to regulatory clearances. 

Banco BPM published the full terms of the offer in documentation released to the market on 6 November 2024\.
