Contracts

The transparent bidding process launched in June 2014 to coordinate
the sale of Austrian Post's former corporate headquarters, which
attracted extensive interest on the part of Austrian and
international investors, was concluded. The purchase agreement for
the commercial property located at Postgasse 8-10 in Vienna's first
district was signed by Soravia Group on December 22, 2014. The
transaction is expected to be finalised over the next few weeks.

The commercial property in a top inner city location is a unique
building complex with high development potential. In 1831 the former
St. Barbara Monastery was handed over to the Austrian Postal
Administration. Since the founding of the Austrian Postal and
Telegraph Department in the year 1866, it has been located in this
partially landmarked building. The building offers a net floor space
of about 26,000 m² on a commercial property covering an area of more
than 7,200 m².

The parties to the transaction agreed not to disclose details on the
purchase price. The disposal of the company's former headquarters has
no impact on the operating business or on the communicated guidance
of Austrian Post. Furthermore, the sale will have no effect on the
company's dividend policy which pursues the objective of further
developing dividends in line with the Group's operating results.

KPMG Advisory GmbH, Vienna and Eisenberger & Herzog Rechtsanwalts
GmbH served as the exclusive consultants of Austrian Post in this
bidding process.
