External Evaluation

Implementation of, and compliance with, the individual rules in the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance were evaluated by PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH for the 2016 financial year – with the exception of Rules 77 to 83. Rules 77 to 83 of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance are evaluated by the law firm Schönherr Rechtsanwälte GmbH. The evaluation is carried out largely using the questionnaire for the evaluation of compliance with the Code published by the Austrian Working Group for Corporate Governance (as amended January 2015).

The evaluation by PwC Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH and Schönherr Rechtsanwälte GmbH confirmed that UNIQA had complied with the rules of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance in 2016 – to the extent that these rules were covered by UNIQA’s declaration of conformity – will be published simultaneously with the annual financial report for the 2016 financial year. Some of the rules were not applicable to UNIQA in the evaluation period.
