UNIQA Insurance Group AG successfully places new EUR 500,000,000 fixed to floating rate subordinated (Tier 2) notes

Vienna, this 6 May 2026

UNIQA Insurance Group AG ("UNIQA" or the "Company") publicly announced on 5 May 2026 (i) that the Company invites 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 until 12 May 2026 (the "Tender Offer" or the "Repurchase") and, in connection with the intended Repurchase, (ii) that the Company intends to issue new EUR 500,000,000 fixed to floating rate subordinated (Tier 2) notes with a minimum denomination of EUR 100,000 (the "New Notes").

Today, UNIQA successfully priced and placed the New Notes with an aggregate principal amount of EUR 500,000,000 (ISIN XS3357207417) with institutional investors in Austria and abroad.

Subject to certain conditions, the New Notes are scheduled to be redeemed after expiry of 20 years in 2046 and can be early redeemed by UNIQA for the first time after 9.5 years. They bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum during the first ten years and at a floating interest rate of 3-month EURIBOR (or relevant replacement rate) plus margin (including a 100bps step-up) thereafter. The issue price was set at 99.369% of the principal amount. The New Notes are intended to be eligible as tier 2 basic own funds in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Subject to approval of the listing prospectus, admission of the New Notes to trading on the Official Market (Amtlicher Handel) of the Vienna Stock Exchange will be applied for. Trading of the New Notes is expected to commence on or around 13 May 2026.

UNIQA intends to use net proceeds of the New Notes for general corporate purposes, including the Repurchase and for refinancing upcoming redemptions under its existing tier 2 instruments.

Final results of the Tender Offer are expected to be announced as soon as practicable on 13 May 2026. Settlement of the Repurchase is expected to take place on 15 May 2026.
