On 2 August 2017 Cerved and Quaestio S.A. entered into an industrial partnership to service NPLs in Italy, with stakes

of 49.9% for Cerved and 50.1% for Quaestio. Cerved to consolidate Newco line-by-line in virtue of reinforced

governance rights and has a call option to reach 100% ownership in 2021

Cerved and Quaestio also reached an agreement with Banca MPS to acquire the servicing platform (“Juliet”) and

a 10-year contract to service the bank’s future NPLs for a price of €52.5m

Portfolio of NPLs to be serviced by Juliet shall include i) 80% of future MPS non-performing loans originating from stock

of UTPs, expected at approx. €2bn at closing, and ii) approx. €13bn of stock of MPS NPLs to be acquired and

securitised by the Atlante II fund

Combination of future flows and stock generates an attractive growth profile of Revenues and EBITDA in the

medium term, thanks to the growth in newly formed NPLs by far outpacing the decline in the stock of NPLs

The Atlante II fund also owns approx. €5.5bn of NPLs from the Cube, Este and Berenice portfolios, of which a portion

is expected to be serviced by the Quaestio-Cerved partnership (negotiations underway)

Net Working Capital at 12.1% of

LTM Revenues (pro-forma for

acquisitions), lower than 13.0% in

September 2016

The amount of Receivables

reflects a historically low level of

DSO (Days Sales Outstanding)

thanks to Cerved’s stringent

credit policies

The ongoing pickup of Revenue

growth in the Credit

Management division will lead to

an increase in Receivables and

hence also in Cerved’s

NWC/Revenue ratio

The minor contraction in

Deferred Revenues is due to the

increasing contribution of large

corporate accounts, less linked

to prepaid points
