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.
