Milan, 26 April 2022 – Intesa Sanpaolo will organise in Paris Italian Excellences 2022, a mid-corporate conference promoted by IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division – headed by Mauro Micillo – and by the Research Department, dedicated to companies listed on the Euronext STAR Milan segment of Borsa Italiana.

The event, scheduled for 11 and 12 October 2022 in the French capital and organised in collaboration with Borsa Italiana, part of the Euronext Group, will be an opportunity for Italian and international investors to take stock of the results achieved and the future prospects of small and medium-sized Italian companies.

The initiative involves collaboration between the Equity Research structure of the Intesa Sanpaolo Research Department and the Equity Sales area of the Global Markets Securities Department of the IMI CIB Division. The first edition of the event will be structured as a series of one-to-one and group meetings between institutional investors and the over 40 listed companies of the Euronext STAR Milan segment covered by Intesa Sanpaolo's research.

Massimo Mocio, Deputy Chief of Intesa Sanpaolo's IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division commented: "Italian Excellences 2022 is intended as a venue for dialogue and an opportunity for visibility for the many leading Italian small and medium-sized enterprises that represent the engine of the national economy. Intesa Sanpaolo has always stood by our country's companies. Its IMI CIB Division, in particular, has long embraced a model of support and backing for mid-cap companies by providing a structure totally dedicated to the corporate finance needs of these companies to assist them in their development and growth projects".

Paris was chosen as the venue for Italian Excellences 2022 because of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group's consolidated presence in the French capital where it has already organised 14 editions of the ISMO event, a conference involving an average of 10-15 Italian listed mid-cap companies.

The company Virgilio IR will provide organisational support thanks to its many years of experience in the sector, its extensive database of Italian and international investors and a solid technological platform for the management of meetings.
