Publication of an amendment in the repurchase programme according to Section 6 of the Regulation on Publication 2002 (Federal Law Gazette II 2002/112)

The empowerment of the first and second Annual General Meetings aims at granting UNIQA the right to purchase up to 10% of its own shares, hence a total of 11,977,780 individual shares.

The programme was started on October 1st, 2001 and is foreseen to end on June 20th, 2003. To date, UNIQA has purchased 2,959,325 individual shares representing roughly 2.27% of the group equity. Taking into account UNIQA's first repurchase programme carried out between June 6th, 2001, and August 28th, 2001, in which 2,395,556 own shares were purchased (2% of the group equity), UNIQA now holds 5,354,881 registered individual shares representing 4.47% of the group equity.

On May 6th, 2002, the Management Board has decided to amend Section 8 of the repurchase programme (highest and lowest purchase price per share) to the effect that as of May 21st, 2002, the highest purchase price per share would be set at EUR 9.50 instead of EUR 7.50. The Supervisory Working Committee upon empowerment of the Supervisory Board has approved the Management Board´s decision as of today. All other conditions of the repurchase programme as published on September 26th, 2001 remain unchanged.
