   AUSTRIAN POST REACHES AGREEMENT WITH THE REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA TO PAY
   COMPENSATION FOR SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS RELATING TO CIVIL SERVANTS FOR THE
   YEARS 1996 TO 2008

   Vienna, 11 September 2026 – Austrian Post has reached an agreement with
   the Austrian Finanzprokuratur, acting as the legal representative of the
   Republic of Austria (Austrian Federal Chancellery), to make a payment of
   47.8 million euros to the Republic of Austria. This payment obviates the
   need for legal proceedings regarding the amount of Austrian Post’s
   obligations to make compensation payments to the Republic of Austria for
   contributions to the Family Burden Equalisation Fund
   (Familienlastenausgleichsfond – FLAF) and regarding any obligation to
   reimburse Austrian Post for the period from 1 May 1996 to 31 May 2008.

    

   The background to this is a ruling by the Austrian Administrative Court in
   2015, according to which Austrian Post and its legal predecessor were
   under no statutory obligation to pay the relevant contributions from the
   payroll to the Family Burden Equalisation Fund (FLAF) on behalf of the
   civil servants assigned to it. As a result of this ruling, the Austrian
   Federal Finance Court reimbursed Austrian Post for contributions already
   paid between 2015 and 2019. In this context, however, Austrian Post had
   obligations to pay potential compensation to the Republic of Austria.
   Until recently, there were differing legal interpretations between the
   Republic of Austria and Austrian Post regarding the amount of these
   payments.

    

   Austrian Post had already made a provision for the potential compensation
   payment since 2018. The agreement reached now falls well within the
   anticipated range, provides legal certainty and resolves the matter
   conclusively.
