Subordinated liabilities

In July 2013, UNIQA Insurance Group AG successfully placed a supplementary capital bond in the volume of €350 million with institutional investors in Europe. The bond has a maturity period of 30 years and may only be cancelled after 10 years. The coupon equals 6.875 per cent per annum during the first ten years, after which a variable interest rate applies. The supplementary capital bond meets the requirements for equity netting as Tier 2 capital under the Solvency II regime. The issue was also aimed at replacing older supplementary capital bonds from Austrian insurance groups and at bolstering UNIQA’s capital resources and capital structure in preparation for Solvency II and optimising these over the long term. The supplementary capital bond has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange since the end of July 2013. The issue price was set at 100 per cent.
