28. Redemption Amount linked to Reference Assets:
Applicable
(i) Formula to determine the Redemption Amount and/or, as the case may be, quantity of Reference Assets to be delivered instead of Redemption Amount: | Subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Certificates, these Final Terms and the Certificates not being redeemed early at an Early Maturity Date, the Issuer will pay the Redemption Amount to the Certificateholders on the fifth Banking Date following the Valuation Date. In relation to each Series of Certificates, the Redemption Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent at the Valuation Date as follows: 1. if on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is higher than the Strike, the Certificateholders will receive in relation to each Certificate an amount in EUR calculated in accordance with the following formula: Redemption Amount = [Strike + Leverage Factor Up% x (Reference Price - Strike)] x Parity 2. if a Barrier Event has never occurred during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date, the Reference Price of the Share is lower than or equal to the Strike, the Certificateholders will receive in relation to each Certificate an amount in EUR calculated in accordance with the following formula: Redemption Amount = [Strike + Leverage Factor Down% x (Strike – Reference Price)] x Parity 3. If a Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is lower than or equal to the Strike, the Redemption Amount will be calculated in accordance with the following formula: Redemption Amount = Reference Price x Parity Where: “Barrier Event” occurs when the reference price of the Share as determined and published by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. is lower than or equal to the Barrier. “Barrier” means the 60% of the reference price of the Share on the Fixing Date. “Leverage Factor Up%” 100% “Leverage Factor Down%” 100% “Parity” means the ratio between the Issue Price and the Strike and shall only be used in connection with the calculation of the Redemption Amount pursuant to this item 28. Within the calculation of the Redemption Amount any amount determined will be rounded up or down to six decimal places, with 0.0000005 rounded up. |
(ii) Valuation Date: | The Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is: a. in case an Early Redemption has never occurred on an Observation Date, 07.04.2011 b. in case an Early Redemption occurs on an Observation Date, the Observation Date. |
(iii) Calculation Date: | The Calculation Date is, any day on which the Share is scheduled to be traded on the Relevant Exchange. |
(iv) Observation Date(s): | The Observation Period is the period from and including the Fixing Date to and including the Valuation Date. If a Market Disruption occurs on a day of the Observation Period, such day shall be excluded from the Observation Period. |
(v) Reference Price: | The Reference Price, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is the reference price of the Share, as determined and published by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on the Valuation Date and published on Reuters respectively at ENEI.MI page; |
(vi) Business Centres for Banking Day: | Milan |
(vii) Minimum Amount / Maximum Amount: | Not Applicable |
(viii) Market Disruption and Adjustment provisions (if different from [§3b and §3c] [§4 and §5]): | Provisions §4(1), §4(2) and §4(3) (“Market Disruption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones: (1) If a Market Disruption occurs on the Valuation Date, and/or the Fixing Date, the Valuation Date and/or the Fixing Date will be postponed to the next following Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Valuation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable. (2) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 2 (two), with respect to the Fixing Date, or 8 (eight), with respect to the Valuation Date, consecutive Banking Days, that second or eighth Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Fixing Date or Valuation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs, and the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the Reference Price affected by the Market Disruption required for the determination of the Redemption Amount in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last such Reference Price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders (3) If a Market Disruption occurs on an Observation Date, the |
relevant Observation Date will be postponed to the next following Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Observation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable.
(4) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 8 consecutive Banking Days, that eight Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Observation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs. Moreover, in order to determine if the condition for the payment of the Early Redemption Amount is fulfilled, the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the official reference price of the Shares affected by the Market Disruption in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last trading price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders.
However, if within these 8 Banking Days comparable Derivatives expire and are paid on the Determining Futures Exchange, the settlement price established by the Determining Futures Exchange for the comparable Derivatives will be taken into account in calculating the Redemption Amount. In that case, the expiration date for comparable Derivatives will be taken as the relevant Valuation Date and the provisions of § 3 (1) shall apply accordingly.
(5) “Market Disruption” means:
(i) the suspension or restriction of trading in the Reference Asset on the Relevant Exchange or
(ii) the suspension or restriction of trading in an options or futures contract relating to the Reference Asset on the Determining Futures Exchange.
Provisions §5 (“Adjustments. Early Redemption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones:
(1) The Calculation Agent shall be authorised, in its reasonable discretion, to adjust the method for the determination of the Redemption Amount upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
- the company that has issued the Reference Asset or a third party takes a measure, which would – based on a change in the legal and economic situation, in particular a change in the company’s assets and capital – in the reasonable discretion of the Calculation Agent, affect the Reference Asset (e.g. capital increase against cash contribution, issuance of securities with options or conversion rights into shares, capital increase with company funds, distribution of special dividends, share splits, merger, liquidation, nationalization, tender offer) , or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an early
termination of the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the Reference Asset, or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an adjustment to the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the Reference Asset.
When determining the necessity of an adjustment, the Calculation Agent will take into account the adjustment of the respective Derivatives linked to the Reference Asset actually performed by the Determining Futures Exchange. The Calculation Agent will use reasonable endeavours as to ensure that the economic position of the Certificateholders remains unchanged to the largest extent possible. Any adjustment will be made by the Calculation Agent taking into account the time to maturity of the Certificates (if applicable) and the latest available price for the Reference Asset. If the Calculation Agent determines that, pursuant to the rules of the Determining Futures Exchange, no adjustments are made to the derivatives linked to the Reference Asset, the terms of the Certificates will regularly remain unchanged. The adjusted method to determine the Redemption Amount and the time of its initial application shall be published in due course in accordance with § 11.
(2) Should
- the quotation of the Reference Asset at the Relevant Exchange be finally discontinued and no Substitute Relevant Exchange or Substitute Futures Exchange could be determined
- the Calculation Agent come to the conclusion that no reasonable adjustment is possible to account for the relevant measure of the company that has issued the Reference Asset or the relevant third party,
the Issuer is entitled to terminate the Certificates early by giving notice pursuant to § 11 (which notice shall specify the Cancellation Amount). Such termination shall become effective at the time of the announcement pursuant to § 11.
If the Certificates are so cancelled the Issuer will pay an amount to each Certificateholder in respect of each Certificate held by him which amount shall be the reasonable market value of a Certificate (the “Cancellation Amount”) on a day selected by the Issuer in its good faith and absolute discretion and taking into account the adjustment event, all as determined by the Calculation Agent in its good faith and absolute discretion. The Cancellation Amount will be paid within five Banking Days as of its determination to the Clearing System or to its order with the instruction for immediate forwarding to the Certificateholders.

Annex II Additional Specific Risks
In addition to the risk factors set out on pages 38 to 49 of the Base Prospectus, investors should carefully consider the following additional risk information:
The Certificates are based on complex mathematical structures, which may not be readily intelligible to the investor. In addition, there is the possibility that the investor may underestimate the true risk associated with a purchase of Certificates. Potential investors should therefore ensure that they have gained a thorough understanding of the Certificates described herein.
Before purchasing the Certificates, potential investors should carefully review their financial situation to make sure that they can bear the risks of loss associated with the Certificates, also as the case may be, the risk of a total loss of their investment.
The Twin Win Autocallable Certificates described herein (the “Certificates”) are a particular type of investment certificates, which are linked to the Shares. The Certificates allow the holder to benefit from the performance of the share in terms of absolute variation, positive or negative, with respect to its value at the Fixing Date: the holders receive a positive return at the Settlement Date also in case of negative performance of the underlying at maturity compared to its value at the Fixing Date.
The condition, by which a negative performance can become a positive one, is that the value of the underlying never touches the Barrier throughout the life of the Certificates. If the Barrier is touched, and the underlying performance is negative, the value of the Redemption Amount shall be totally linked to such underlying performance.
Redemption of the amount initially paid at issue is not guaranteed at maturity.
At maturity:
1. in case of a positive underlying performance, the holder shall benefit entirely from such performance;
2. in case of a negative underlying performance at maturity, depending on (i) the Barrier not having been touched, or (ii) the Barrier having been touched, even for once, throughout the life of the Certificates, the following shall occur: in case (i) above, the negative performance shall become positive, whereas in case (ii) the cash amount paid shall be entirely linked to the underlying performance at maturity.
The Certificates may be, under certain conditions, early redeemed so as to allow the holder to benefit, prior to maturity, from an underlying positive performance. Such an early redemption shall be effective prior to maturity on fixed dates (each an “Observation Date”) if on such dates the underlying value is higher than its value at the Fixing Date.
Should the above early redemption occur, the Certificates shall be redeemed at a value higher than its Issue Price as stated in the Final Terms.
The amount to be paid on early redemption may vary at each Observation Date and is higher as the Observation Date is closer to the Maturity Date.
Additional specific risks associated with the Issuer are:
Issuer risk
The investment is subject to the Issuer risk, i.e. the possibility that the Issuer may not be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to the Certificates.
The Issuer’s assets guarantee the Certificate holders for payment of the Redemption Amount due at the Maturity Date without any priority with respect to other Issuer’s creditors in case of insolvency.
The protection afforded by the Italian Interbank Deposit Protection Fund (FITD) does not apply to the Certificates.
Risk of changes in underlying value
The value of the Certificates depends on trends in the performance of the share. There is no guarantee that the price of the Certificates will remain for its entire duration at least equal to the amount initially paid, as such price may fluctuate significantly depending on the value of the underlying assets; also, the Redemption Amount may vary, even negatively, depending on variations in the value of the underlying asset.
Liquidity Risk
This risk is represented by the difficulty for the Certificate holder in liquidating his/her investment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date), or of not being able to recover the amount initially paid in case of disinvestment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date).
Nevertheless, such risk appears to be mitigated (i) as the Issuer shall file an application for the Certificates to be traded on Borsa Italiana S.p.A or on the Multilateral Trading Facility EuroTLX; and (ii) as, prior to such admission, the Issuer shall quote bid prices for the Certificates.
Tax Regime Risk
The Tax regime of the Certificates may change throughout their duration, with the result of being different (even less favourable for the Certificate holder) from that which is specified in the Base Prospectus and in the Final Terms hereof.
Risk of variations in the Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions which govern the issue of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide that, without necessity of a prior consent from each Certificate holder, the Issuer may modify the same Terms and Conditions (i) to correct obvious typing or arithmetic errors or other obvious mistakes as well as (ii) to change and/or supplement contradictory or incomplete provisions, for which, in cases described in (ii), only such changes and/or additions are allowable as, in light of the Issuer’s interests, are reasonable for the Certificate holders, i.e., which do not fundamentally impair the financial position of the Certificate holder.
Risk of autonomous determinations by the Issuer acting as Calculation Agent
The Terms and Conditions of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide for the power of the Issuer, acting as Calculation Agent, in the event of market disruption which persists at the Maturity Date, of calculating the Reference Price of the Underlying at the Valuation Date and, consequently, the Redemption Amount. According to the Terms and Conditions, the calculations and valuations of the Calculation Agent shall be deemed to be fully binding towards the Certificate holders, save for cases of manifest errors.
Risk of Market Disruption Events and/or extraordinary events with respect to the Shares
The Terms and Conditions and the Final Terms hereof provide for the possibility of certain Market Disruption events and extraordinary events occurring with respect to the Shares.

2. Redemption Amount yield scenarios
The following scenarios assume, at the Fixing Date a share value equal to EUR 7.3 and:
- Strike: EUR 7.3;
- Barrier: EUR 4.38;
- Leverage Factor Up%: 100%;
- Leverage Factor Down%: 100%;
- Parity: 13.69863.
If on an Observation Date the reference price of the Share is higher than or equal to the Strike, the certificates will be settled earlier. Please see below an example of what the Early Redemption Amount would be:
Scenario of Early Redemption
At the First Observation Date the share value is higher than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 10.
The Early Redemption Amount will be equal to EUR 108.40
If the certificates is not settled earlier, at maturity various scenarios may be possible depending on the value of the Shares.
Please see below a few examples of what the Redemption Amount would be, depending on the various scenarios at maturity.
Scenario 1
At the Valuation Date the share value is higher than the Strike: for example EUR 10. The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 7.3 + 100% x (EUR 10 – EUR 7.3)] x 13.69863 = EUR 136.99
Scenario 2
A Barrier Event has never occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 6.
Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 7.3 + 100% x (EUR 7.3 – EUR 6)] x 13.69863 = EUR 117.81
Scenario 3
A Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 6.
The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = EUR 6 x 13.69863 = EUR 82.19
3. Backtesting simulation
Hypothetical characteristics of the Certificates:
- Fixing Date: 19.02.2005
- Share value at the Fixing Date: EUR 7.2622
- Strike: EUR 7.2622
- Barrier: EUR 4.35732
- Leverage Factor Up%: 100%
- Leverage Factor Down%: 100%
- Parity: 13.769932
- Issue Price: EUR 100
- First Observation Date: 21.08.2005
- Second Observation Date: 19.02.2006
- Third Observation Date: 21.08.2006
- Fourth Observation Date: -
- Fifth Observation Date: 21.08.2007
- Maturity Date: 20.02.2008
At the Fourth Observation Date the Share value was equal to EUR 8.34, higher than the Strike. The Certificates would be settled earlier and the holders would have received EUR 133.60 per certificates.
All above scenarios and simulations are for informative and illustrative purposes only, and do not purport either to be comprehensive or anticipate or guarantee future returns. All above hypothetical amounts have been calculated gross of any applicable withholding tax.

Annex VI
Tax Regime in the Republic of Italy
The following is a summary of current Italian law and practise relating to the taxation of the Certificates. Prospective purchasers of the Certificates are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the overall tax consequences of their ownership of the Certificates.
The statements herein regarding taxation are based on the laws in force in Italy as at the date of these Final Terms and are subject to any changes in law occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations which may be relevant to a decision to subscribe for, purchase, own or dispose of the Certificates and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in securities or commodities) may be subject to special rules.
The following description does not address the applicable taxation in case of exercise by the relevant Issuer of its right of substitution as set out in Condition 9. Legislative Decree No. 344 of 12 December 2003 published in the Italian Official Gazette of 16 December 2003, No. 261 (Ordinary Supplement No. 190), effective as of 1January 2004 introduced the reform of taxation of corporations and of certain financial income amending the Italian Income Taxes Consolidated Code.
In the near future, with the approval of the law proposal No. 1762 of 4 October 2006, currently under discussion in the Parliament, the Italian Government could be authorised to introduce a fixed withholding tax on any capital gains and financial incomes not exceeding 20 per cent, which may impact upon the tax regime of the Certificates.
Italian taxation of the Certificates
The information set out hereafter summarises tax treatment of the purchase, holding, sale and exercise of the Certificates by investors who are individuals resident in Italy, and do not run a commercial enterprise, in accordance with Italian tax legislation. Pursuant to Article 67 of Presidential Decree No. 917 of 22 December 1986 and Legislative Decree No. 461 of 21 November 1997, as subsequently amended, capital gains and other revenues not produced in the course of running commercial enterprises and received by individuals resident in Italy and by certain other subjects (entities, associations and simple non-commercial companies, including no profit entities) following the sale or the exercise of the Certificates are subject to a 12.5% substitute tax (imposta sostitutiva). The recipient may opt for three different taxation criteria:
(1) the tax declaration regime (regime della dichiarazione): each capital gain or revenue earned during the year, net of any liabilities and capital losses of the same kind, is specified in the investor’s tax return. The 12.5% substitute tax will therefore be chargeable on net capital gains realised during any given tax period and paid within the deadline established for paying income taxes. Any surplus of capital losses over capital gains may be offset against capital gains realised in any of the four succeeding tax periods. The tax declaration regime is compulsory in cases where the subject fails to choose one of the two systems referred to hereafter in points (2) and (3);
(2) the non-discretionary investment portfolio regime (regime del risparmio amministrato): if the investor opts for this regime, the substitute tax is determined and paid at the time of each sale or exercise of the Certificates by the authorised intermediary resident in Italy, with whom the Certificates have been deposited for safekeeping or for administration, on behalf of the Security holder for each capital gain effectively produced. Where a capital loss results from a sale or an exercise of the Certificates, such loss may be deducted from capital gains of the same kind, realised in the same tax period or in the following tax periods up to the fourth. If the safekeeping or administration relationship comes to an end, any capital losses may be deducted - but not beyond the fourth tax period after that in which they occurred - from capital gains produced with respect to the relationship with another intermediary for managing of portfolio. Under non-discretionary investment portfolio regime, the Security holder is not required to declare the capital gains in the annual tax return.
(3) the discretionary investment portfolio regime (regime del risparmio gestito): the prerequisite to adopting this system is that an assets management assignment has been conferred on an authorised intermediary resident in Italy. Under this regime the tax is applied by the authorised intermediary, on behalf of the Security holder, at the end of any given tax period on the increase in value of the managed assets, even if it has not been realised, net of certain financial incomes. Any depreciation of the managed assets accrued at year end may be carried forward against increase in value of the managed assets accrued in any of the four succeeding tax periods. Under the discretionary investment portfolio regime, the Security holder is not required to declare the capital gains in the annual tax return.
Where an Italian resident Security holder is a company or similar commercial entity, or a permanent establishment in the Republic of Italy of foreign commercial entities to which the Certificates are effectively connected, capital gains and other revenues arising from the Certificates will not be subject to imposta sostitutiva, but must be included in the relevant Security holder's income tax return and are therefore subject to Italian corporate tax.
Capital gains realized by non-Italian resident Security holders are not subject to Italian taxation, provided that the Certificates are held outside of Italy.
Atypical securities
In accordance with a different interpretation of current tax law there is a remote possibility that the Certificates would be considered as 'atypical' securities pursuant to Article 8 of Law Decree No. 512 of 30 September 1983 as implemented by Law No. 649 of 25 November 1983. In this event, payments relating to Certificates may be subject to an Italian withholding tax, levied at the rate of 27 per cent.
The 27 per cent. withholding tax mentioned above does not apply to payments made to a non-Italian resident Security holder and to an Italian resident Security holder which is (i) a company or similar commercial entity (including the Italian permanent establishment of foreign entities), (ii) a commercial partnership, or (iii) a commercial private or public institution.
EU Savings Directive
Under EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income, Member States are required, from 1st July, 2005, to provide to the tax authorities of another Member State details of payments of interest (or similar income) paid by a person within its jurisdiction to an individual resident in that other Member State. However, or a transitional period, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria are instead required (unless during that period they elect otherwise) to operate a withholding system in relation to such payments (the ending of such transitional period being dependent upon the conclusion of certain other agreements relating to information exchange with certain other countries). A number of non-EU countries and territories including Switzerland have agreed to adopt similar measures (a withholding system in the case of Switzerland) with effect from the same date.
Implementation in Italy of the EU Savings Directive
Italy has implemented the EU Savings Directive through Legislative Decree No. 84 of 18 April 2005 (Decree No. 84). Under Decree No. 84, subject to a number of important conditions being met, in the case of interest paid starting from 1 July 2005 to individuals which qualify as beneficial owners of the interest payment and are resident for tax purposes in another Member State, Italian paying agents (i.e. banks, società di intermediazione Mobiliare (SIM), fiduciary companies, società di gestione del risparmio (SGR) resident for tax purposes in Italy, Italian permanent establishments of non-Italian resident persons and any other Italian entity paying interest for professional or business reasons) shall not apply the withholding tax and shall report to the Italian Tax Authorities details of the relevant payments and personal information on the individual beneficial owner. Such information is transmitted by the Italian Tax Authorities to the competent foreign tax authorities of the State of residence of the beneficial owner.

(i) Formula to determine the Redemption Amount and/or, | Subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Certificates, these Final Terms and the Certificates not being redeemed early at an |
as the case may be, quantity of Reference Assets to be delivered instead of Redemption Amount:
Early Maturity Date, the Issuer will pay the Redemption Amount to the Certificateholders on the fifth Banking Date following the Valuation Date.
In relation to each Series of Certificates, the Redemption Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent at the Valuation Date as follows:
1. if on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is higher than the Strike, the Certificateholders will receive in relation to each Certificate an amount in EUR calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Redemption Amount = [Strike + Leverage Factor Up% x (Reference Price - Strike)] x Parity
2. if a Barrier Event has never occurred during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date, the Reference Price of the Share is lower than or equal to the Strike, the Certificateholders will receive in relation to each Certificate an amount in EUR calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Redemption Amount = [Strike + Leverage Factor Down% x (Strike – Reference Price)] x Parity
3. If a Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is lower than or equal to the Strike, the Redemption Amount will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Redemption Amount = Reference Price x Parity
Where:
“Barrier Event” occurs when the reference price of the Share as determined and published by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. is lower than or equal to the Barrier.
“Barrier” means the 60% of the reference price of the Share on the Fixing Date.
“Leverage Factor Up%” 100%
“Leverage Factor Down%” 100%
“Parity” means the ratio between the Issue Price and the Strike and shall only be used in connection with the calculation of the Redemption Amount pursuant to this item 28.
Within the calculation of the Redemption Amount any amount determined will be rounded up or down to six decimal places, with 0.0000005 rounded up.
(ii) Valuation Date: | The Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is: a. in case an Early Redemption has never occurred on an Observation Date, 10.03.2011 b. in case an Early Redemption occurs on an Observation Date, the Observation Date. |
(iii) Calculation Date: | The Calculation Date is, any day on which the Share is scheduled to be traded on the Relevant Exchange. |
(iv) Observation Date(s): | The Observation Period is the period from and including the Fixing Date to and including the Valuation Date. If a Market Disruption occurs on a day of the Observation Period, such day shall be excluded from the Observation Period. |
(v) Reference Price: | The Reference Price, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is the reference price of the Share, as determined and published by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on the Valuation Date and published on Reuters respectively at ENEI.MI page; |
(vi) Business Centres for Banking Day: | Milan |
(vii) Minimum Amount / Maximum Amount: | Not Applicable |
(viii) Market Disruption and Adjustment provisions (if different from [§3b and §3c] [§4 and §5]): | Provisions §4(1), §4(2) and §4(3) (“Market Disruption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones: (1) If a Market Disruption occurs on the Valuation Date, and/or the Fixing Date, the Valuation Date and/or the Fixing Date will be postponed to the next following Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Valuation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable. (2) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 1 (one), with respect to the Fixing Date, or 8 (eight), with respect to the Valuation Date, consecutive Banking Days, that first or eight Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Fixing Date or Valuation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs, and the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the Reference Price affected by the Market Disruption required for the determination of the Redemption Amount in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last such Reference Price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders (3) If a Market Disruption occurs on an Observation Date, the relevant Observation Date will be postponed to the next following |
Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Observation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable.
(4) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 8 consecutive Banking Days, that eight Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Observation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs. Moreover, in order to determine if the condition for the payment of the Early Redemption Amount is fulfilled, the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the official reference price of the Shares affected by the Market Disruption in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last trading price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders.
However, if within these 8 Banking Days comparable Derivatives expire and are paid on the Determining Futures Exchange, the settlement price established by the Determining Futures Exchange for the comparable Derivatives will be taken into account in calculating the Redemption Amount. In that case, the expiration date for comparable Derivatives will be taken as the relevant Valuation Date and the provisions of § 3 (1) shall apply accordingly.
(5) “Market Disruption” means:
(i) the suspension or restriction of trading in the Reference Asset on the Relevant Exchange or
(ii) the suspension or restriction of trading in an options or futures contract relating to the Reference Asset on the Determining Futures Exchange.
Provisions §5 (“Adjustments. Early Redemption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones:
(1) The Calculation Agent shall be authorised, in its reasonable discretion, to adjust the method for the determination of the Redemption Amount upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
- the company that has issued the Reference Asset or a third party takes a measure, which would – based on a change in the legal and economic situation, in particular a change in the company’s assets and capital – in the reasonable discretion of the Calculation Agent, affect the Reference Asset (e.g. capital increase against cash contribution, issuance of securities with options or conversion rights into shares, capital increase with company funds, distribution of special dividends, share splits, merger, liquidation, nationalization, tender offer) , or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an early termination of the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the
Reference Asset, or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an adjustment to the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the Reference Asset.
When determining the necessity of an adjustment, the Calculation Agent will take into account the adjustment of the respective Derivatives linked to the Reference Asset actually performed by the Determining Futures Exchange. The Calculation Agent will use reasonable endeavours as to ensure that the economic position of the Certificateholders remains unchanged to the largest extent possible. Any adjustment will be made by the Calculation Agent taking into account the time to maturity of the Certificates (if applicable) and the latest available price for the Reference Asset. If the Calculation Agent determines that, pursuant to the rules of the Determining Futures Exchange, no adjustments are made to the derivatives linked to the Reference Asset, the terms of the Certificates will regularly remain unchanged. The adjusted method to determine the Redemption Amount and the time of its initial application shall be published in due course in accordance with § 11.
(2) Should
- the quotation of the Reference Asset at the Relevant Exchange be finally discontinued and no Substitute Relevant Exchange or Substitute Futures Exchange could be determined
- the Calculation Agent come to the conclusion that no reasonable adjustment is possible to account for the relevant measure of the company that has issued the Reference Asset or the relevant third party,
the Issuer is entitled to terminate the Certificates early by giving notice pursuant to § 11 (which notice shall specify the Cancellation Amount). Such termination shall become effective at the time of the announcement pursuant to § 11.
If the Certificates are so cancelled the Issuer will pay an amount to each Certificateholder in respect of each Certificate held by him which amount shall be the reasonable market value of a Certificate (the “Cancellation Amount”) on a day selected by the Issuer in its good faith and absolute discretion and taking into account the adjustment event, all as determined by the Calculation Agent in its good faith and absolute discretion. The Cancellation Amount will be paid within five Banking Days as of its determination to the Clearing System or to its order with the instruction for immediate forwarding to the Certificateholders.

Annex II Additional Specific Risks
In addition to the risk factors set out on pages 38 to 49 of the Base Prospectus, investors should carefully consider the following additional risk information:
The Certificates are based on complex mathematical structures, which may not be readily intelligible to the investor. In addition, there is the possibility that the investor may underestimate the true risk associated with a purchase of Certificates. Potential investors should therefore ensure that they have gained a thorough understanding of the Certificates described herein.
Before purchasing the Certificates, potential investors should carefully review their financial situation to make sure that they can bear the risks of loss associated with the Certificates, also as the case may be, the risk of a total loss of their investment.
The Twin Win Autocallable Certificates described herein (the “Certificates”) are a particular type of investment certificates, which are linked to the Shares. The Certificates allow the holder to benefit from the performance of the share in terms of absolute variation, positive or negative, with respect to its value at the Fixing Date: the holders receive a positive return at the Settlement Date also in case of negative performance of the underlying at maturity compared to its value at the Fixing Date.
The condition, by which a negative performance can become a positive one, is that the value of the underlying never touches the Barrier throughout the life of the Certificates. If the Barrier is touched, and the underlying performance is negative, the value of the Redemption Amount shall be totally linked to such underlying performance.
Redemption of the amount initially paid at issue is not guaranteed at maturity.
At maturity:
1. in case of a positive underlying performance, the holder shall benefit entirely from such performance;
2. in case of a negative underlying performance at maturity, depending on (i) the Barrier not having been touched, or (ii) the Barrier having been touched, even for once, throughout the life of the Certificates, the following shall occur: in case (i) above, the negative performance shall become positive, whereas in case (ii) the cash amount paid shall be entirely linked to the underlying performance at maturity.
The Certificates may be, under certain conditions, early redeemed so as to allow the holder to benefit, prior to maturity, from an underlying positive performance. Such an early redemption shall be effective prior to maturity on fixed dates (each an “Observation Date”) if on such dates the underlying value is higher than its value at the Fixing Date.
Should the above early redemption occur, the Certificates shall be redeemed at a value higher than its Issue Price as stated in the Final Terms.
The amount to be paid on early redemption may vary at each Observation Date and is higher as the Observation Date is closer to the Maturity Date.
Additional specific risks associated with the Issuer are:
Issuer risk
The investment is subject to the Issuer risk, i.e. the possibility that the Issuer may not be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to the Certificates.
The Issuer’s assets guarantee the Certificate holders for payment of the Redemption Amount due at the Maturity Date without any priority with respect to other Issuer’s creditors in case of insolvency.
The protection afforded by the Italian Interbank Deposit Protection Fund (FITD) does not apply to the Certificates.
Risk of changes in underlying value
The value of the Certificates depends on trends in the performance of the share. There is no guarantee that the price of the Certificates will remain for its entire duration at least equal to the amount initially paid, as such price may fluctuate significantly depending on the value of the underlying assets; also, the Redemption Amount may vary, even negatively, depending on variations in the value of the underlying asset.
Liquidity Risk
This risk is represented by the difficulty for the Certificate holder in liquidating his/her investment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date), or of not being able to recover the amount initially paid in case of disinvestment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date).
Nevertheless, such risk appears to be mitigated (i) as the Issuer shall file an application for the Certificates to be traded on Borsa Italiana S.p.A or on the Multilateral Trading Facility EuroTLX; and (ii) as, prior to such admission, the Issuer shall quote bid prices for the Certificates.
Tax Regime Risk
The Tax regime of the Certificates may change throughout their duration, with the result of being different (even less favourable for the Certificate holder) from that which is specified in the Base Prospectus and in the Final Terms hereof.
Risk of variations in the Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions which govern the issue of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide that, without necessity of a prior consent from each Certificate holder, the Issuer may modify the same Terms and Conditions (i) to correct obvious typing or arithmetic errors or other obvious mistakes as well as (ii) to change and/or supplement contradictory or incomplete provisions, for which, in cases described in (ii), only such changes and/or additions are allowable as, in light of the Issuer’s interests, are reasonable for the Certificate holders, i.e., which do not fundamentally impair the financial position of the Certificate holder.
Risk of autonomous determinations by the Issuer acting as Calculation Agent
The Terms and Conditions of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide for the power of the Issuer, acting as Calculation Agent, in the event of market disruption which persists at the Maturity Date, of calculating the Reference Price of the Underlying at the Valuation Date and, consequently, the Redemption Amount. According to the Terms and Conditions, the calculations and valuations of the Calculation Agent shall be deemed to be fully binding towards the Certificate holders, save for cases of manifest errors.
Risk of Market Disruption Events and/or extraordinary events with respect to the Shares
The Terms and Conditions and the Final Terms hereof provide for the possibility of certain Market Disruption events and extraordinary events occurring with respect to the Shares.

2. Redemption Amount yield scenarios
The following scenarios assume, at the Fixing Date a share value equal to EUR 7.3 and:
- Strike: EUR 7.3;
- Barrier: EUR 4.38;
- Leverage Factor Up%: 100%;
- Leverage Factor Down%: 100%;
- Parity: 13.69863.
If on an Observation Date the reference price of the Share is higher than or equal to the Strike, the certificates will be settled earlier. Please see below an example of what the Early Redemption Amount would be:
Scenario of Early Redemption
At the First Observation Date the share value is higher than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 10.
The Early Redemption Amount will be equal to EUR 108.10
If the certificates is not settled earlier, at maturity various scenarios may be possible depending on the value of the Shares.
Please see below a few examples of what the Redemption Amount would be, depending on the various scenarios at maturity.
Scenario 1
At the Valuation Date the share value is higher than the Strike: for example EUR 10. The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 7.3 + 100% x (EUR 10 – EUR 7.3)] x 13.69863 = EUR 136.99
Scenario 2
A Barrier Event has never occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 6.
Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 7.3 + 100% x (EUR 7.3 – EUR 6)] x 13.69863 = EUR 117.81
Scenario 3
A Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 6.
The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = EUR 6 x 13.69863 = EUR 82.19
3. Backtesting simulation
Hypothetical characteristics of the Certificates:
- Fixing Date: 24.01.2005
- Share value at the Fixing Date: EUR 6.9646
- Strike: EUR 6.9646
- Barrier: EUR 4.17876
- Leverage Factor Up%: 100%
- Leverage Factor Down%: 100%
- Parity: 14.3583264
- Issue Price: EUR 100
- First Observation Date: 27.07.2005
- Second Observation Date: 24.01.2006
- Third Observation Date: 27.07.2006
- Fourth Observation Date: 24.01.2007
- Fifth Observation Date: 27.07.2007
- Maturity Date: 25.01.2008
At the Fourth Observation Date the Share value was equal to EUR 8.063, higher than the Strike. The Certificates would be settled earlier and the holders would have received EUR 132.40 per certificates.
All above scenarios and simulations are for informative and illustrative purposes only, and do not purport either to be comprehensive or anticipate or guarantee future returns. All above hypothetical amounts have been calculated gross of any applicable withholding tax.

Annex V
Tax Regime in the Republic of Italy
The following is a summary of current Italian law and practise relating to the taxation of the Certificates. Prospective purchasers of the Certificates are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the overall tax consequences of their ownership of the Certificates.
The statements herein regarding taxation are based on the laws in force in Italy as at the date of these Final Terms and are subject to any changes in law occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations which may be relevant to a decision to subscribe for, purchase, own or dispose of the Certificates and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in securities or commodities) may be subject to special rules.
The following description does not address the applicable taxation in case of exercise by the relevant Issuer of its right of substitution as set out in Condition 9. Legislative Decree No. 344 of 12 December 2003 published in the Italian Official Gazette of 16 December 2003, No. 261 (Ordinary Supplement No. 190), effective as of 1January 2004 introduced the reform of taxation of corporations and of certain financial income amending the Italian Income Taxes Consolidated Code.
In the near future, with the approval of the law proposal No. 1762 of 4 October 2006, currently under discussion in the Parliament, the Italian Government could be authorised to introduce a fixed withholding tax on any capital gains and financial incomes not exceeding 20 per cent, which may impact upon the tax regime of the Certificates.
Italian taxation of the Certificates
The information set out hereafter summarises tax treatment of the purchase, holding, sale and exercise of the Certificates by investors who are individuals resident in Italy, and do not run a commercial enterprise, in accordance with Italian tax legislation. Pursuant to Article 67 of Presidential Decree No. 917 of 22 December 1986 and Legislative Decree No. 461 of 21 November 1997, as subsequently amended, capital gains and other revenues not produced in the course of running commercial enterprises and received by individuals resident in Italy and by certain other subjects (entities, associations and simple non-commercial companies, including no profit entities) following the sale or the exercise of the Certificates are subject to a 12.5% substitute tax (imposta sostitutiva). The recipient may opt for three different taxation criteria:
(1) the tax declaration regime (regime della dichiarazione): each capital gain or revenue earned during the year, net of any liabilities and capital losses of the same kind, is specified in the investor’s tax return. The 12.5% substitute tax will therefore be chargeable on net capital gains realised during any given tax period and paid within the deadline established for paying income taxes. Any surplus of capital losses over capital gains may be offset against capital gains realised in any of the four succeeding tax periods. The tax declaration regime is compulsory in cases where the subject fails to choose one of the two systems referred to hereafter in points (2) and (3);
(2) the non-discretionary investment portfolio regime (regime del risparmio amministrato): if the investor opts for this regime, the substitute tax is determined and paid at the time of each sale or exercise of the Certificates by the authorised intermediary resident in Italy, with whom the Certificates have been deposited for safekeeping or for administration, on behalf of the Security holder for each capital gain effectively produced. Where a capital loss results from a sale or an exercise of the Certificates, such loss may be deducted from capital gains of the same kind, realised in the same tax period or in the following tax periods up to the fourth. If the safekeeping or administration relationship comes to an end, any capital losses may be deducted - but not beyond the fourth tax period after that in which they occurred - from capital gains produced with respect to the relationship with another intermediary for managing of portfolio. Under non-discretionary investment portfolio regime, the Security holder is not required to declare the capital gains in the annual tax return.
(3) the discretionary investment portfolio regime (regime del risparmio gestito): the prerequisite to adopting this system is that an assets management assignment has been conferred on an authorised intermediary resident in Italy. Under this regime the tax is applied by the authorised intermediary, on behalf of the Security holder, at the end of any given tax period on the increase in value of the managed assets, even if it has not been realised, net of certain financial incomes. Any depreciation of the managed assets accrued at year end may be carried forward against increase in value of the managed assets accrued in any of the four succeeding tax periods. Under the discretionary investment portfolio regime, the Security holder is not required to declare the capital gains in the annual tax return.
Where an Italian resident Security holder is a company or similar commercial entity, or a permanent establishment in the Republic of Italy of foreign commercial entities to which the Certificates are effectively connected, capital gains and other revenues arising from the Certificates will not be subject to imposta sostitutiva, but must be included in the relevant Security holder's income tax return and are therefore subject to Italian corporate tax.
Capital gains realized by non-Italian resident Security holders are not subject to Italian taxation, provided that the Certificates are held outside of Italy.
Atypical securities
In accordance with a different interpretation of current tax law there is a remote possibility that the Certificates would be considered as 'atypical' securities pursuant to Article 8 of Law Decree No. 512 of 30 September 1983 as implemented by Law No. 649 of 25 November 1983. In this event, payments relating to Certificates may be subject to an Italian withholding tax, levied at the rate of 27 per cent.
The 27 per cent. withholding tax mentioned above does not apply to payments made to a non-Italian resident Security holder and to an Italian resident Security holder which is (i) a company or similar commercial entity (including the Italian permanent establishment of foreign entities), (ii) a commercial partnership, or (iii) a commercial private or public institution.
EU Savings Directive
Under EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income, Member States are required, from 1st July, 2005, to provide to the tax authorities of another Member State details of payments of interest (or similar income) paid by a person within its jurisdiction to an individual resident in that other Member State. However, or a transitional period, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria are instead required (unless during that period they elect otherwise) to operate a withholding system in relation to such payments (the ending of such transitional period being dependent upon the conclusion of certain other agreements relating to information exchange with certain other countries). A number of non-EU countries and territories including Switzerland have agreed to adopt similar measures (a withholding system in the case of Switzerland) with effect from the same date.
Implementation in Italy of the EU Savings Directive
Italy has implemented the EU Savings Directive through Legislative Decree No. 84 of 18 April 2005 (Decree No. 84). Under Decree No. 84, subject to a number of important conditions being met, in the case of interest paid starting from 1 July 2005 to individuals which qualify as beneficial owners of the interest payment and are resident for tax purposes in another Member State, Italian paying agents (i.e. banks, società di intermediazione Mobiliare (SIM), fiduciary companies, società di gestione del risparmio (SGR) resident for tax purposes in Italy, Italian permanent establishments of non-Italian resident persons and any other Italian entity paying interest for professional or business reasons) shall not apply the withholding tax and shall report to the Italian Tax Authorities details of the relevant payments and personal information on the individual beneficial owner. Such information is transmitted by the Italian Tax Authorities to the competent foreign tax authorities of the State of residence of the beneficial owner.

Reference Assets:
(i) Formula to determine the Redemption Amount and/or, as the case may be, quantity of Reference Assets to be delivered instead of Redemption Amount:
Subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Certificates, these Final Terms and the Certificates not being redeemed early at an Early Maturity Date, the Issuer will pay the Redemption Amount to the Certificate holders on the fifth Banking Date following the Valuation Date.
In relation to each Series of Certificates, the Redemption Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent at the Valuation Date as follows:
1. if on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is higher than the Strike, the Certificate holders will receive in relation to each Certificate an amount in EUR calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Redemption Amount = [Strike + Leverage Factor Up% x (Reference Price - Strike)] x Parity
2. if a Barrier Event has never occurred during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date, the Reference Price of the Share is lower than or equal to the Strike, the Certificateholders will receive in relation to each Certificate an amount in EUR calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Redemption Amount = [Strike + Leverage Factor Down% x (Strike – Reference Price)] x Parity
3. If a Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is lower than or equal to the Strike, the Redemption Amount will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Redemption Amount = Reference Price x Parity
Where:
“Barrier Event” occurs when the reference price of the Share as determined and published by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. is lower than or equal to the Barrier.
“Barrier” means the 60% of the reference price of the Share on the Fixing Date.
“Leverage Factor Up%” 100%
“Leverage Factor Down%” 100%
“Parity” means the ratio between the Issue Price and the Strike and shall only be used in connection with the calculation of the Redemption Amount pursuant to this item 28.
Within the calculation of the Redemption Amount any amount determined will be rounded up or down to six decimal places, with 0.0000005 rounded up. | |
(ii) Valuation Date: | The Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is: a. in case an Early Redemption has never occurred on an Observation Date, 07.04.2011 b. in case an Early Redemption occurs on an Observation Date, the Observation Date. |
(iii) Calculation Date: | The Calculation Date is, any day on which the Share is scheduled to be traded on the Relevant Exchange. |
(iv) Observation Date(s): | The Observation Period is the period from and including the Fixing Date to and including the Valuation Date. If a Market Disruption occurs on a day of the Observation Period, such day shall be excluded from the Observation Period. |
(v) Reference Price: | |
The Reference Price, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is the reference price of the Share, as determined and published by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on the Valuation Date and published on Reuters respectively at ENI.MI page; | |
(vi) Business Centres for Banking Day: | Milan |
(vii) Minimum Amount / Maximum Amount: | Not Applicable |
(viii) Market Disruption and Adjustment provisions (if different from [§3b and §3c] [§4 and §5]): | Provisions §4(1), §4(2) and §4(3) (“Market Disruption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones: (1) If a Market Disruption occurs on the Valuation Date, and/or the Fixing Date, the Valuation Date and/or the Fixing Date will be postponed to the next following Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Valuation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable. (2) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 2 (two), with respect to the Fixing Date, or 8 (eight), with respect to the Valuation Date, consecutive Banking Days, that second or eighth Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Fixing Date or Valuation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs, and the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the Reference Price affected by the Market Disruption required for the determination of the Redemption Amount in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last such Reference Price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market |
Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders
(3) If a Market Disruption occurs on an Observation Date, the relevant Observation Date will be postponed to the next following Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Observation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable.
(4) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 8 consecutive Banking Days, that eighth Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Observation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs. Moreover, in order to determine if the condition for the payment of the Early Redemption Amount is fulfilled, the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the official reference price of the Shares affected by the Market Disruption in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last trading price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders.
However, if within these 8 Banking Days comparable Derivatives expire and are paid on the Determining Futures Exchange, the settlement price established by the Determining Futures Exchange for the comparable Derivatives will be taken into account in calculating the Redemption Amount. In that case, the expiration date for comparable Derivatives will be taken as the relevant Valuation Date and the provisions of § 3 (1) shall apply accordingly.
(5) “Market Disruption” means:
(i) the suspension or restriction of trading in the Reference Asset on the Relevant Exchange or
(ii) the suspension or restriction of trading in an options or futures contract relating to the Reference Asset on the Determining Futures Exchange.
Provisions §5 (“Adjustments. Early Redemption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones:
(1) The Calculation Agent shall be authorized, in its reasonable discretion, to adjust the method for the determination of the Redemption Amount upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
- the company that has issued the Reference Asset or a third party takes a measure, which would – based on a change in the legal and economic situation, in particular a change in the company’s assets and capital – in the reasonable discretion of the Calculation Agent, affect the Reference Asset (e.g. capital increase against cash contribution, issuance of securities with options or conversion rights into shares, capital increase with company
funds, distribution of special dividends, share splits, merger, liquidation, nationalization, tender offer) , or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an early termination of the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the Reference Asset, or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an adjustment to the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the Reference Asset.
When determining the necessity of an adjustment, the Calculation Agent will take into account the adjustment of the respective Derivatives linked to the Reference Asset actually performed by the Determining Futures Exchange. The Calculation Agent will use reasonable endeavours as to ensure that the economic position of the Certificateholders remains unchanged to the largest extent possible. Any adjustment will be made by the Calculation Agent taking into account the time to maturity of the Certificates (if applicable) and the latest available price for the Reference Asset. If the Calculation Agent determines that, pursuant to the rules of the Determining Futures Exchange, no adjustments are made to the derivatives linked to the Reference Asset, the terms of the Certificates will regularly remain unchanged. The adjusted method to determine the Redemption Amount and the time of its initial application shall be published in due course in accordance with § 11.
(2) Should
- the quotation of the Reference Asset at the Relevant Exchange be finally discontinued and no Substitute Relevant Exchange or Substitute Futures Exchange could be determined
- the Calculation Agent come to the conclusion that no reasonable adjustment is possible to account for the relevant measure of the company that has issued the Reference Asset or the relevant third party,
the Issuer is entitled to terminate the Certificates early by giving notice pursuant to § 11 (which notice shall specify the Cancellation Amount). Such termination shall become effective at the time of the announcement pursuant to § 11.
If the Certificates are so cancelled the Issuer will pay an amount to each Certificate holder in respect of each Certificate held by him which amount shall be the reasonable market value of a Certificate (the “Cancellation Amount”) on a day selected by the Issuer in its good faith and absolute discretion and taking into account the adjustment event, all as determined by the Calculation Agent in its good faith and absolute discretion. The Cancellation Amount will be paid within five Banking Days as of its determination to the Clearing System or to its order with the instruction for immediate forwarding to the Certificateholders.

Annex II Additional Specific Risks
In addition to the risk factors set out on pages 38 to 49 of the Base Prospectus, investors should carefully consider the following additional risk information:
The Certificates are based on complex mathematical structures, which may not be readily intelligible to the investor. In addition, there is the possibility that the investor may underestimate the true risk associated with a purchase of Certificates. Potential investors should therefore ensure that they have gained a thorough understanding of the Certificates described herein.
Before purchasing the Certificates, potential investors should carefully review their financial situation to make sure that they can bear the risks of loss associated with the Certificates, also as the case may be, the risk of a total loss of their investment.
The Twin Win Autocallable Certificates described herein (the “Certificates”) are a particular type of investment certificates, which are linked to the Shares. The Certificates allow the holder to benefit from the performance of the share in terms of absolute variation, positive or negative, with respect to its value at the Fixing Date: the holders receive a positive return at the Settlement Date also in case of negative performance of the underlying at maturity compared to its value at the Fixing Date.
The condition, by which a negative performance can become a positive one, is that the value of the underlying never touches the Barrier throughout the life of the Certificates. If the Barrier is touched, and the underlying performance is negative, the value of the Redemption Amount shall be totally linked to such underlying performance.
Redemption of the amount initially paid at issue is not guaranteed at maturity.
At maturity:
1. in case of a positive underlying performance, the holder shall benefit entirely from such performance;
2. in case of a negative underlying performance at maturity, depending on (i) the Barrier not having been touched, or (ii) the Barrier having been touched, even for once, throughout the life of the Certificates, the following shall occur: in case (i) above, the negative performance shall become positive, whereas in case (ii) the cash amount paid shall be entirely linked to the underlying performance at maturity.
The Certificates may be, under certain conditions, early redeemed so as to allow the holder to benefit, prior to maturity, from an underlying positive performance. Such an early redemption shall be effective prior to maturity on fixed dates (each an “Observation Date”) if on such dates the underlying value is higher than its value at the Fixing Date.
Should the above early redemption occur, the Certificates shall be redeemed at a value higher than its Issue Price as stated in the Final Terms.
The amount to be paid on early redemption may vary at each Observation Date and is higher as the Observation Date is closer to the Maturity Date.
Additional specific risks associated with the Issuer are:
Issuer risk
The investment is subject to the Issuer risk, i.e. the possibility that the Issuer may not be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to the Certificates.
The Issuer’s assets guarantee the Certificate holders for payment of the Redemption Amount due at the Maturity Date without any priority with respect to other Issuer’s creditors in case of insolvency.
The protection afforded by the Italian Interbank Deposit Protection Fund (FITD) does not apply to the Certificates.
Risk of changes in underlying value
The value of the Certificates depends on trends in the performance of the share. There is no guarantee that the price of the Certificates will remain for its entire duration at least equal to the amount initially paid, as such price may fluctuate significantly depending on the value of the underlying assets; also, the Redemption Amount may vary, even negatively, depending on variations in the value of the underlying asset.
Liquidity Risk
This risk is represented by the difficulty for the Certificate holder in liquidating his/her investment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date), or of not being able to recover the amount initially paid in case of disinvestment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date).
Nevertheless, such risk appears to be mitigated (i) as the Issuer shall file an application for the Certificates to be traded on Borsa Italiana S.p.A or on the Multilateral Trading Facility EuroTLX; and (ii) as, prior to such admission, the Issuer shall quote bid prices for the Certificates.
Tax Regime Risk
The Tax regime of the Certificates may change throughout their duration, with the result of being different (even less favourable for the Certificate holder) from that which is specified in the Base Prospectus and in the Final Terms hereof.
Risk of variations in the Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions which govern the issue of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide that, without necessity of a prior consent from each Certificate holder, the Issuer may modify the same Terms and Conditions (i) to correct obvious typing or arithmetic errors or other obvious mistakes as well as (ii) to change and/or supplement contradictory or incomplete provisions, for which, in cases described in (ii), only such changes and/or additions are allowable as, in light of the Issuer’s interests, are reasonable for the Certificate holders, i.e., which do not fundamentally impair the financial position of the Certificate holder.
Risk of autonomous determinations by the Issuer acting as Calculation Agent
The Terms and Conditions of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide for the power of the Issuer, acting as Calculation Agent, in the event of market disruption which persists at the Maturity Date, of calculating the Reference Price of the Underlying at the Valuation Date and, consequently, the Redemption Amount. According to the Terms and Conditions, the calculations and valuations of the Calculation Agent shall be deemed to be fully binding towards the Certificate holders, save for cases of manifest errors.
Risk of Market Disruption Events and/or extraordinary events with respect to the Shares
The Terms and Conditions and the Final Terms hereof provide for the possibility of certain Market Disruption events and extraordinary events occurring with respect to the Shares.

2. Redemption Amount yield scenarios
The following scenarios assume, at the Fixing Date a share value equal to EUR 22 and:
- Strike: EUR 22;
- Barrier: EUR 13.2;
- Leverage Factor Up%: 100%;
- Leverage Factor Down%: 100%;
- Parity: 4.545455.
If on an Observation Date the reference price of the Share is higher than or equal to the Strike, the certificates will be settled earlier. Please see below an example of what the Early Redemption Amount would be:
Scenario of Early Redemption
At the First Observation Date the share value is higher than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 26.
The Early Redemption Amount will be equal to EUR 108.90
If the certificates is not settled earlier, at maturity various scenarios may be possible depending on the value of the Shares.
Please see below a few examples of what the Redemption Amount would be, depending on the various scenarios at maturity.
Scenario 1
At the Valuation Date the share value is higher than the Strike: for example EUR 26. The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 22 + 100% x (EUR 26 – EUR 22)] x 4.545455 = EUR 118.18
Scenario 2
A Barrier Event has never occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 20.
Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 22 + 100% x (EUR 22 – EUR 20)] x 4.545455 = EUR 109.09
Scenario 3
A Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 20.
The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = EUR 20 x 4.545455 = EUR 90.91
3. Backtesting simulation

Annex VI
Tax Regime in the Republic of Italy
The following is a summary of current Italian law and practise relating to the taxation of the Certificates. Prospective purchasers of the Certificates are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the overall tax consequences of their ownership of the Certificates.
The statements herein regarding taxation are based on the laws in force in Italy as at the date of these Final Terms and are subject to any changes in law occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations which may be relevant to a decision to subscribe for, purchase, own or dispose of the Certificates and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in securities or commodities) may be subject to special rules.
The following description does not address the applicable taxation in case of exercise by the relevant Issuer of its right of substitution as set out in Condition 9. Legislative Decree No. 344 of 12 December 2003 published in the Italian Official Gazette of 16 December 2003, No. 261 (Ordinary Supplement No. 190), effective as of 1January 2004 introduced the reform of taxation of corporations and of certain financial income amending the Italian Income Taxes Consolidated Code.
In the near future, with the approval of the law proposal No. 1762 of 4 October 2006, currently under discussion in the Parliament, the Italian Government could be authorised to introduce a fixed withholding tax on any capital gains and financial incomes not exceeding 20 per cent, which may impact upon the tax regime of the Certificates.
Italian taxation of the Certificates
The information set out hereafter summarises tax treatment of the purchase, holding, sale and exercise of the Certificates by investors who are individuals resident in Italy, and do not run a commercial enterprise, in accordance with Italian tax legislation. Pursuant to Article 67 of Presidential Decree No. 917 of 22 December 1986 and Legislative Decree No. 461 of 21 November 1997, as subsequently amended, capital gains and other revenues not produced in the course of running commercial enterprises and received by individuals resident in Italy and by certain other subjects (entities, associations and simple non-commercial companies, including no profit entities) following the sale or the exercise of the Certificates are subject to a 12.5% substitute tax (imposta sostitutiva). The recipient may opt for three different taxation criteria:
(1) the tax declaration regime (regime della dichiarazione): each capital gain or revenue earned during the year, net of any liabilities and capital losses of the same kind, is specified in the investor’s tax return. The 12.5% substitute tax will therefore be chargeable on net capital gains realised during any given tax period and paid within the deadline established for paying income taxes. Any surplus of capital losses over capital gains may be offset against capital gains realised in any of the four succeeding tax periods. The tax declaration regime is compulsory in cases where the subject fails to choose one of the two systems referred to hereafter in points (2) and (3);
(2) the non-discretionary investment portfolio regime (regime del risparmio amministrato): if the investor opts for this regime, the substitute tax is determined and paid at the time of each sale or exercise of the Certificates by the authorised intermediary resident in Italy, with whom the Certificates have been deposited for safekeeping or for administration, on behalf of the Security holder for each capital gain effectively produced. Where a capital loss results from a sale or an exercise of the Certificates, such loss may be deducted from capital gains of the same kind, realised in the same tax period or in the following tax periods up to the fourth. If the safekeeping or administration relationship comes to an end, any capital losses may be deducted - but not beyond the fourth tax period after that in which they occurred - from capital gains produced with respect to the relationship with another intermediary for managing of portfolio. Under non-discretionary investment portfolio regime, the Security holder is not required to declare the capital gains in the annual tax return.
(3) the discretionary investment portfolio regime (regime del risparmio gestito): the prerequisite to adopting this system is that an assets management assignment has been conferred on an authorised intermediary resident in Italy. Under this regime the tax is applied by the authorised intermediary, on behalf of the Security holder, at the end of any given tax period on the increase in value of the managed assets, even if it has not been realised, net of certain financial incomes. Any depreciation of the managed assets accrued at year end may be carried forward against increase in value of the managed assets accrued in any of the four succeeding tax periods. Under the discretionary investment portfolio regime, the Security holder is not required to declare the capital gains in the annual tax return.
Where an Italian resident Security holder is a company or similar commercial entity, or a permanent establishment in the Republic of Italy of foreign commercial entities to which the Certificates are effectively connected, capital gains and other revenues arising from the Certificates will not be subject to imposta sostitutiva, but must be included in the relevant Security holder's income tax return and are therefore subject to Italian corporate tax.
Capital gains realized by non-Italian resident Security holders are not subject to Italian taxation, provided that the Certificates are held outside of Italy.
Atypical securities
In accordance with a different interpretation of current tax law there is a remote possibility that the Certificates would be considered as 'atypical' securities pursuant to Article 8 of Law Decree No. 512 of 30 September 1983 as implemented by Law No. 649 of 25 November 1983. In this event, payments relating to Certificates may be subject to an Italian withholding tax, levied at the rate of 27 per cent.
The 27 per cent. withholding tax mentioned above does not apply to payments made to a non-Italian resident Security holder and to an Italian resident Security holder which is (i) a company or similar commercial entity (including the Italian permanent establishment of foreign entities), (ii) a commercial partnership, or (iii) a commercial private or public institution.
EU Savings Directive
Under EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income, Member States are required, from 1st July, 2005, to provide to the tax authorities of another Member State details of payments of interest (or similar income) paid by a person within its jurisdiction to an individual resident in that other Member State. However, or a transitional period, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria are instead required (unless during that period they elect otherwise) to operate a withholding system in relation to such payments (the ending of such transitional period being dependent upon the conclusion of certain other agreements relating to information exchange with certain other countries). A number of non-EU countries and territories including Switzerland have agreed to adopt similar measures (a withholding system in the case of Switzerland) with effect from the same date.
Implementation in Italy of the EU Savings Directive
Italy has implemented the EU Savings Directive through Legislative Decree No. 84 of 18 April 2005 (Decree No. 84). Under Decree No. 84, subject to a number of important conditions being met, in the case of interest paid starting from 1 July 2005 to individuals which qualify as beneficial owners of the interest payment and are resident for tax purposes in another Member State, Italian paying agents (i.e. banks, società di intermediazione Mobiliare (SIM), fiduciary companies, società di gestione del risparmio (SGR) resident for tax purposes in Italy, Italian permanent establishments of non-Italian resident persons and any other Italian entity paying interest for professional or business reasons) shall not apply the withholding tax and shall report to the Italian Tax Authorities details of the relevant payments and personal information on the individual beneficial owner. Such information is transmitted by the Italian Tax Authorities to the competent foreign tax authorities of the State of residence of the beneficial owner.

In relation to each Series of Certificates, the Redemption Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent at the Valuation Date as follows:
1. if on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is higher than the Strike, the Certificateholders will receive in relation to each Certificate an amount in EUR calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Redemption Amount = [Strike + Leverage Factor Down% x (Strike – Reference Price)] x Parity
3. If a Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date the Reference Price of the Share is lower than or equal to the Strike, the Redemption Amount will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Redemption Amount = Reference Price x Parity
Where:
“Barrier Event” occurs when the reference price of the Share as determined and published by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. is lower than or equal to the Barrier.
“Barrier” means the 60% of the reference price of the Share on the Fixing Date.
“Leverage Factor Up%” 100%
“Leverage Factor Down%” 100%
“Parity” means the ratio between the Issue Price and the Strike and shall only be used in connection with the calculation of the Redemption Amount pursuant to this item 28.
Within the calculation of the Redemption Amount any amount determined will be rounded up or down to six decimal places, with 0.0000005 rounded up.
(ii) Valuation Date: | The Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, is: a. in case an Early Redemption has never occurred on an Observation Date, 10.03.2011 b. in case an Early Redemption occurs on an Observation Date, the Observation Date. |

(viii) Market Disruption and Adjustment provisions (if different from [§3b and §3c] [§4 and §5]): | Provisions §4(1), §4(2) and §4(3) (“Market Disruption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones: (1) If a Market Disruption occurs on the Valuation Date, and/or the Fixing Date, the Valuation Date and/or the Fixing Date will be postponed to the next following Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Valuation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable. (2) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 1 (one), with respect to the Fixing Date, or 8 (eight), with respect to the Valuation Date, consecutive Banking Days, that first or eight Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Fixing Date or Valuation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs, and the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the Reference Price affected by the Market Disruption required for the determination of the Redemption Amount in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last such Reference Price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders (3) If a Market Disruption occurs on an Observation Date, the relevant Observation Date will be postponed to the next following |
Banking Day on which the Market Disruption no longer exists. Any payment date relating to such Observation Date shall be postponed accordingly if applicable.
(4) Should the Market Disruption continue for more than 8 consecutive Banking Days, that eight Banking Day shall be deemed to be the Observation Date, notwithstanding the fact that on such day a Market Disruption occurs. Moreover, in order to determine if the condition for the payment of the Early Redemption Amount is fulfilled, the Issuer, in its good faith and absolute discretion shall determine, or cause the Calculation Agent to determine, the official reference price of the Shares affected by the Market Disruption in accordance with prevailing market conditions around 10:00 a.m. (Milan local time) on this eighth day on the basis of the last trading price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Market Disruption available to the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, taking into account the economic position of the Certificateholders.
However, if within these 8 Banking Days comparable Derivatives expire and are paid on the Determining Futures Exchange, the settlement price established by the Determining Futures Exchange for the comparable Derivatives will be taken into account in calculating the Redemption Amount. In that case, the expiration date for comparable Derivatives will be taken as the relevant Valuation Date and the provisions of § 3 (1) shall apply accordingly.
(5) “Market Disruption” means:
(i) the suspension or restriction of trading in the Reference Asset on the Relevant Exchange or
(ii) the suspension or restriction of trading in an options or futures contract relating to the Reference Asset on the Determining Futures Exchange.
Provisions §5 (“Adjustments. Early Redemption”) shall not apply and shall be replaced by the following ones:
(1) The Calculation Agent shall be authorised, in its reasonable discretion, to adjust the method for the determination of the Redemption Amount upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
- the company that has issued the Reference Asset or a third party takes a measure, which would – based on a change in the legal and economic situation, in particular a change in the company’s assets and capital – in the reasonable discretion of the Calculation Agent, affect the Reference Asset (e.g. capital increase against cash contribution, issuance of securities with options or conversion rights into shares, capital increase with company funds, distribution of special dividends, share splits, merger, liquidation, nationalization, tender offer) , or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an early termination of the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the
Reference Asset, or
- the Determining Futures Exchange performs an adjustment to the respective Derivatives outstanding linked to the Reference Asset.
When determining the necessity of an adjustment, the Calculation Agent will take into account the adjustment of the respective Derivatives linked to the Reference Asset actually performed by the Determining Futures Exchange. The Calculation Agent will use reasonable endeavours as to ensure that the economic position of the Certificateholders remains unchanged to the largest extent possible. Any adjustment will be made by the Calculation Agent taking into account the time to maturity of the Certificates (if applicable) and the latest available price for the Reference Asset. If the Calculation Agent determines that, pursuant to the rules of the Determining Futures Exchange, no adjustments are made to the derivatives linked to the Reference Asset, the terms of the Certificates will regularly remain unchanged. The adjusted method to determine the Redemption Amount and the time of its initial application shall be published in due course in accordance with § 11.
(2) Should
- the quotation of the Reference Asset at the Relevant Exchange be finally discontinued and no Substitute Relevant Exchange or Substitute Futures Exchange could be determined
- the Calculation Agent come to the conclusion that no reasonable adjustment is possible to account for the relevant measure of the company that has issued the Reference Asset or the relevant third party,
the Issuer is entitled to terminate the Certificates early by giving notice pursuant to § 11 (which notice shall specify the Cancellation Amount). Such termination shall become effective at the time of the announcement pursuant to § 11.
If the Certificates are so cancelled the Issuer will pay an amount to each Certificateholder in respect of each Certificate held by him which amount shall be the reasonable market value of a Certificate (the “Cancellation Amount”) on a day selected by the Issuer in its good faith and absolute discretion and taking into account the adjustment event, all as determined by the Calculation Agent in its good faith and absolute discretion. The Cancellation Amount will be paid within five Banking Days as of its determination to the Clearing System or to its order with the instruction for immediate forwarding to the Certificateholders.

Annex II Additional Specific Risks
In addition to the risk factors set out on pages 38 to 49 of the Base Prospectus, investors should carefully consider the following additional risk information:
The Certificates are based on complex mathematical structures, which may not be readily intelligible to the investor. In addition, there is the possibility that the investor may underestimate the true risk associated with a purchase of Certificates. Potential investors should therefore ensure that they have gained a thorough understanding of the Certificates described herein.
Before purchasing the Certificates, potential investors should carefully review their financial situation to make sure that they can bear the risks of loss associated with the Certificates, also as the case may be, the risk of a total loss of their investment.
The Twin Win Autocallable Certificates described herein (the “Certificates”) are a particular type of investment certificates, which are linked to the Shares. The Certificates allow the holder to benefit from the performance of the share in terms of absolute variation, positive or negative, with respect to its value at the Fixing Date: the holders receive a positive return at the Settlement Date also in case of negative performance of the underlying at maturity compared to its value at the Fixing Date.
The condition, by which a negative performance can become a positive one, is that the value of the underlying never touches the Barrier throughout the life of the Certificates. If the Barrier is touched, and the underlying performance is negative, the value of the Redemption Amount shall be totally linked to such underlying performance.
Redemption of the amount initially paid at issue is not guaranteed at maturity.
At maturity:
1. in case of a positive underlying performance, the holder shall benefit entirely from such performance;
2. in case of a negative underlying performance at maturity, depending on (i) the Barrier not having been touched, or (ii) the Barrier having been touched, even for once, throughout the life of the Certificates, the following shall occur: in case (i) above, the negative performance shall become positive, whereas in case (ii) the cash amount paid shall be entirely linked to the underlying performance at maturity.
The Certificates may be, under certain conditions, early redeemed so as to allow the holder to benefit, prior to maturity, from an underlying positive performance. Such an early redemption shall be effective prior to maturity on fixed dates (each an “Observation Date”) if on such dates the underlying value is higher than its value at the Fixing Date.
Should the above early redemption occur, the Certificates shall be redeemed at a value higher than its Issue Price as stated in the Final Terms.
The amount to be paid on early redemption may vary at each Observation Date and is higher as the Observation Date is closer to the Maturity Date.
Additional specific risks associated with the Issuer are:
Issuer risk
The investment is subject to the Issuer risk, i.e. the possibility that the Issuer may not be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to the Certificates.
The Issuer’s assets guarantee the Certificate holders for payment of the Redemption Amount due at the Maturity Date without any priority with respect to other Issuer’s creditors in case of insolvency.
The protection afforded by the Italian Interbank Deposit Protection Fund (FITD) does not apply to the Certificates.
Risk of changes in underlying value
The value of the Certificates depends on trends in the performance of the share. There is no guarantee that the price of the Certificates will remain for its entire duration at least equal to the amount initially paid, as such price may fluctuate significantly depending on the value of the underlying assets; also, the Redemption Amount may vary, even negatively, depending on variations in the value of the underlying asset.
Liquidity Risk
This risk is represented by the difficulty for the Certificate holder in liquidating his/her investment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date), or of not being able to recover the amount initially paid in case of disinvestment prior to the Maturity Date (or to an Observation Date).
Nevertheless, such risk appears to be mitigated (i) as the Issuer shall file an application for the Certificates to be traded on Borsa Italiana S.p.A or on the Multilateral Trading Facility EuroTLX; and (ii) as, prior to such admission, the Issuer shall quote bid prices for the Certificates.
Tax Regime Risk
The Tax regime of the Certificates may change throughout their duration, with the result of being different (even less favourable for the Certificate holder) from that which is specified in the Base Prospectus and in the Final Terms hereof.
Risk of variations in the Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions which govern the issue of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide that, without necessity of a prior consent from each Certificate holder, the Issuer may modify the same Terms and Conditions (i) to correct obvious typing or arithmetic errors or other obvious mistakes as well as (ii) to change and/or supplement contradictory or incomplete provisions, for which, in cases described in (ii), only such changes and/or additions are allowable as, in light of the Issuer’s interests, are reasonable for the Certificate holders, i.e., which do not fundamentally impair the financial position of the Certificate holder.
Risk of autonomous determinations by the Issuer acting as Calculation Agent
The Terms and Conditions of the Certificates, as set out in the Base Prospectus, provide for the power of the Issuer, acting as Calculation Agent, in the event of market disruption which persists at the Maturity Date, of calculating the Reference Price of the Underlying at the Valuation Date and, consequently, the Redemption Amount. According to the Terms and Conditions, the calculations and valuations of the Calculation Agent shall be deemed to be fully binding towards the Certificate holders, save for cases of manifest errors.
Risk of Market Disruption Events and/or extraordinary events with respect to the Shares
The Terms and Conditions and the Final Terms hereof provide for the possibility of certain Market Disruption events and extraordinary events occurring with respect to the Shares.

2. Redemption Amount yield scenarios
The following scenarios assume, at the Fixing Date a share value equal to EUR 22 and:
- Strike: EUR 22;
- Barrier: EUR 13.2;
- Leverage Factor Up%: 100%;
- Leverage Factor Down%: 100%;
- Parity: 4.545455.
If on an Observation Date the reference price of the Share is higher than or equal to the Strike, the certificates will be settled earlier. Please see below an example of what the Early Redemption Amount would be:
Scenario of Early Redemption
At the First Observation Date the share value is higher than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 26.
The Early Redemption Amount will be equal to EUR 108.40
If the certificates is not settled earlier, at maturity various scenarios may be possible depending on the value of the Shares.
Please see below a few examples of what the Redemption Amount would be, depending on the various scenarios at maturity.
Scenario 1
At the Valuation Date the share value is higher than the Strike: for example EUR 26. The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 22 + 100% x (EUR 26 – EUR 22)] x 4.545455 = EUR 118.18
Scenario 2
A Barrier Event has never occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 20.
Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = [EUR 22 + 100% x (EUR 22 – EUR 20)] x 4.545455 = EUR 109.09
Scenario 3
A Barrier Event has occurred during the Observation Period and at the Valuation Date the share value is lower than or equal to the Strike: for example EUR 20.
The Redemption Amount will be equal to:
Redemption Amount = EUR 20 x 4.545455 = EUR 90.91
3. Backtesting simulation
Hypothetical characteristics of the Certificates:
- Fixing Date: 24.01.2005
- Share value at the Fixing Date: EUR 18.692
- Strike: EUR 18.692
- Barrier: EUR 11.2152
- Leverage Factor Up%: 100%
- Leverage Factor Down%: 100%
- Parity: 5.349882
- Issue Price: EUR 100
- First Observation Date: 27.07.2005
- Second Observation Date: 24.01.2006
- Third Observation Date: 27.07.2006
- Fourth Observation Date: 24.01.2007
- Fifth Observation Date: 27.07.2007
- Maturity Date: 25.01.2008
At the First Observation Date the Share value was equal to EUR 23.30, higher than the Strike. The Certificates would be settled earlier and the holders would have received EUR 108.40 per certificates.
All above scenarios and simulations are for informative and illustrative purposes only, and do not purport either to be comprehensive or anticipate or guarantee future returns. All above hypothetical amounts have been calculated gross of any applicable withholding tax.
