═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The management board and the supervisory board of UNIQA Insurance Group AG
("UNIQA" or the "Company") resolved today to invite holders of UNIQA's
EUR 500,000,000 Subordinated Fixed to Floating Rate Notes with scheduled
maturity in 2046 and a first issuer call date on 27 July 2026,
ISIN XS1117293107 (the "Notes"), to tender their Notes for repurchase by
the Company (the "Tender Offer" or the "Repurchase").
The Company may accept any and all validly tendered Notes in its sole and
absolute discretion, at 100.75 per cent of the principal amount of the
Notes, plus accrued interest. Details will be set out in the tender offer
memorandum dated 5 May 2026 prepared by the Company (the "Tender Offer
Memorandum").
The Repurchase will be subject to (i) fulfilment of the Settlement
Condition on the Settlement Date (as defined in the Tender Offer
Memorandum) and (ii) successful completion of the issue of new EUR
500,000,000 subordinated (Tier 2) fixed to floating rate notes with a
minimum denomination of EUR 100,000 (the "New Notes" and such condition,
the "New Financing Condition"), unless UNIQA waives the New Financing
Condition in its sole and absolute discretion.
Investors may tender their Notes starting today, 5 May 2026, until
expiration on 12 May 2026 (unless the Tender Offer is extended, terminated
early or withdrawn at the sole discretion of the Company). Final results of
the Tender Offer are expected to be announced as soon as practicable after
the later of 13 May 2026 or the date of the pricing of the New Notes.
Settlement of the Repurchase is expected to take place on the later of
15 May 2026 or the business day following the settlement of the New Notes.
The Tender Offer will be made exclusively on the basis of, and subject to
the terms and conditions of, the Tender Offer Memorandum which will be
available on request from Kroll Issuer Services Limited (+44 20 7704 0880/
[email protected]) in its capacity as tender agent as from today.
In the event of successful completion of the Repurchase, UNIQA expects an
increase of its financing costs due to the Repurchase being made at a
premium above par value, as the premium paid will be fully accounted for in
the financial year 2026. Nonetheless UNIQA's current guidance for the
financial year 2026 remains unchanged.
Issuance and placement of the New Notes, which is subject to market
conditions, is intended to be launched on or about 6 May 2026 and will be
exclusively directed at institutional investors in Austria and abroad.
Investors in the Notes may receive priority allocation in the offering of
the New Notes (subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer
Memorandum). To receive a priority allocation of New Notes, an investor
should contact a Dealer Manager to register its interest. An application
for admission of the New Notes to trading on the Official Market (Amtlicher
Handel) of the Vienna Stock Exchange is intended, subject to approval of a
listing prospectus.
UNIQA intends to use net proceeds of the New Notes for general corporate
purposes, including refinancing upcoming redemptions such as the
Repurchase.
J.P. Morgan SE, UniCredit Bank GmbH, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, Morgan
Stanley Europe SE and Raiffeisen Bank International AG have been mandated
as dealer managers, and Kroll Issuer Services Limited has been mandated as
tender agent for the Tender Offer.
J.P. Morgan SE, UniCredit Bank GmbH, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, Morgan
