Significant events subsequent to the reporting date (Subsequent Report)


In January 2016 the Management Board of UNIQA Insurance Group AG decided in agreement with the Supervisory Board to launch a comprehensive programme of investments as of 2016 with the aim of aligning processes and products with the changes to requirements and customer expectations as a result of the digital transformation. This innovation and investment programme, which is the biggest in the Company’s history, is split over several years and has a total value of around € 500 million.

Following the decision to implement this programme, UNIQA is also aligning the Group structure to meet the strategic objectives and challenges of the future. The Management and Supervisory Boards at UNIQA Insurance Group AG decided on a new streamlined Group structure in early March 2016 with a functional organisation and Group-wide responsibilities.

The listed holding UNIQA Insurance Group AG will have three members of the Management Board in future. As of 1 June 2016, the Management Board will consist of Andreas Brandstetter (CEO), Kurt Svoboda (CFO/CRO) and Erik Leyers (COO). Their terms of office will run until 30 June 2020.

The four direct insurance companies operating on the Austrian market up to now, UNIQA Österreich Versicherungen AG, Raiffeisen Versicherung AG, FinanceLife Lebensversicherung AG and Salzburger Landes-Versicherung AG will – subject to the requisite approvals from the authorities – be merged by the first quarter of 2017 at the latest. UNIQA Österreich Versicherungen AG will be the acquiring company.
