Comment on operations

A 0,57 Euro dividend per share proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting.
The comment of Giovanni Bossi, CEO of Banca IFIS: «Throughout 2013, we achieved positive results in each quarter. At this year’s Shareholders’ Meeting, we will report not just higher Equity, Liquidity and Profitability, but also, and most importantly, excellent asset quality. The latter is the result we are most proud of, allowing us to continue making an impact on the real economy with the reasonable certainty offered by a sustainable business model, and therefore to look ahead confidently. We moved fast, thanks to our vision and an organisation accustomed to change, and took all necessary measures to mitigate the effects of a prolonged crisis which is only starting to show early signs of recovery. We strengthened our organisation and continued recruiting new talents throughout the year. These are the foundations of our future growth, as we strive to give our best and react promptly and transparently. As our Group grows in turnover and size, we will not surrender these principles, which allowed us to generate not only economic, but also social value».
