Azimut achieved strong results in 1H12, both in terms of P&L as well as inflows and AuM

Clearly influenced by a record 1Q, with a 2Q in line with 2Q11

Demonstrated not only the ability to fully catch the upside market potential, but also to be more resilientto market downturns compared to competition

Contribution of variable management fees in 1H12 was significant, tripling the result of both 1H10 and 1H11

We reiterate that in a worst case scenario of no further variable management fees for the rest of the year,FY 2012 Net Profit could still be in the region of € 100 million, above both 2011 and 2010

1H12 inflows were strong, making up almost 80% of 2011 total inflows. July numbers are encouraging and weconfirm our target to achieve €1‐1.5bn of Net Inflows in 2012

International operations moving forward:

An Zhong (AZ) Investment Management Hong Kong is currently advising the largest offshore RMB fund(RMB Opportunities fund) with above € 650mn of AuM

AZ Investment Management in Shanghai launched in April 2012 the first mutual fund (Cash Plus) advised bya wholly owned foreign enterprise in Mainland China, replicating the strategy of the RMB Opportunitiesfund but for onshore clients

Ongoing screening of potential opportunities in South America

Launched a number of new products before the summer, among which Global Currencies & Rates,demonstrating once again the capability to plan and deliver diversified product offerings

Achieved strong 1H12 results in volatile market conditions, on track to deliver solid 2H and FY 2012
