UNIQA Insurance Group AG - Share disclosure pursuant to Sections 91 et seq.
Austrian Stock Exchange Act (BörseG)
Due to the completed increase of UNIQA Insurance Group AG's ("UNIQA") share
capital in order to fulfil the Greenshoe Option (as described in the prospectus
drawn up in relation to the offer of up to 101,026,283 shares in UNIQA approved
by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) on 23 September 2013 and
published on the same day) from EUR 302,350,000.00 by EUR 6,650,000.00 and by
issuing 6,650,000.00 new ordinary no-par value bearer shares with voting rights
with a calculated notional amount of EUR 1.00 per share in exchange for cash
contributions to EUR 309,000,000.00 (the "Greenshoe Capital Increase") the
holdings of voting rights of the Core Shareholders (as defined herein) have
changed.
After the completion of the Greenshoe Capital Increase UNIQA's share capital
amounts to EUR 309,000,000.00 and is divided into 309,000,000 ordinary no-par
value bearer shares with voting rights.
The 6,650,000 no-par value shares made available by RZB Versicherungsbeteiligung
GmbH and Austria Versicherungsverein Beteiligungs-Verwaltungs GmbH to Raiffeisen
Centrobank AG due to a stock lending agreement have been retransferred to RZB
Versicherungsbeteiligung GmbH and Austria Versicherungsverein
Beteiligungs-Verwaltungs GmbH on 25 October 2013, thereby increasing the number
of shares (= voting rights) held by RZB Versicherungsbeteiligung GmbH and
Austria Versicherungsverein Beteiligungs-Verwaltungs GmbH. Insofar as this share
disclosure specifies any number of voting rights after completion of the
Greenshoe Capital Increase, it means the number of voting rights also after the
retransfer of 6,650,000 no-par value shares lent under the stock lending
agreement.
