3 1. PRICING PACKAGES AND CLASSIFICATION METHODS For the MTA/ TAH / ETFplus/ SeDeX/ DomesticMOT/ EuroMOT/ AIM Italia - Mercato Alternativo del Capitale (thereafter AIM Italia ) and for the purpose of applying this price-list, two pricing options have been determined for each market/segment: Package 1 and Package 2. IDEM market has a different pricing scheme based on the volume category the intermediary falls into. Differences according to volume category or pricing package do not apply to the ExtraMOT and MIV markets. The choice of pricing packages shall be communicated by the individual intermediary as per the method outlined in the General Conditions. The choice shall be indicated for each market on which the intermediary is admitted for trading. The chosen package can be different for each market. For this purpose MTA and AIM Italia are considered as one market. Intermediaries wishing to choose a different pricing package from the one previously indicated shall submit a request 15 s prior to the start of each quarter. For quarter we intend the span of time from 1 st April to 30 th June, from 1 st July to 30 th September, from 1 st October to 31 st December and from 1 st January to 31 st March of each year (fiscal year). The request 1 shall be submitted as per the methods outlined in the General Conditions. In such case, the date from which the new pricing package will be applied will be the first of the next quarterly period. 2. VOLUME CATEGORY For each market where a volume category has been specified (IDEM Market and markets different from IDEM in Pricing Package 2) the category that the intermediary will fall into will be determined by the number of executed orders (for markets different from IDEM in Pricing Package 2)/contracts (for IDEM IDEM Equity segment)/ MWh (Megawattora) (IDEM - IDEX segment), and billed, in the previous fiscal year 2. Upon admission to trading on each of these markets, the intermediary will be automatically classified into the lowest volume category. In the event an intermediary exceeds the threshold of the number of executed orders for the lowest volume category by less than 10%, the intermediary will remain in the lowest volume category for the following year. 1 2 It is possible to submit up to two requests in a year (1 st April - 31 st March). Fiscal year is referred to the span of time from 1 April to 31 March of each year. 3

4 In the event an intermediary, classified into the lowest volume category, exceeds the threshold of the number of executed orders during the same year, it will be charged the higher category fee from the month in which the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the intermediary classified into the higher volume category does not meet its threshold requirements by the end of the fiscal year, Borsa Italiana will credit the difference in subscription fees between the lowest and highest volume categories, calculated from the beginning of the same year. 3. APPLICATION OF UNIT TRANSACTION COST For markets different from IDEM, trading fees are applied to each executed order, meaning all trades originated by a single order inserted by the member and performed at the same price.
