UNIQA resolves sale of indirect interest in Medial Beteiligungs-GmbH
to Novomatic AG

UNIQA Insurance Group AG (UNIQA Group) is to sell its approximately
29% interest in Medial Beteiligungs-GmbH (Medial), which in turn has
an approximately 38% stake in Casinos Austria AG, to Novomatic AG.
UNIQA's interest in Medial thus equates to an 11.4% interest in
Casinos Austria AG.

On 28 July 2015, the Management Board of UNIQA Group resolved to
accept an offer from Novomatic AG to acquire UNIQA Group's entire
stake in Medial, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board.
The sale is subject to the approvals required under legislation
governing business combinations and under company law. The parties
have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

As part of its UNIQA 2.0 strategy programme introduced in 2011, UNIQA
Group is concentrating on its core insurance business in the core
markets of Austria and Central and Eastern Europe. In connection with
this, since 2011 UNIQA Group has already sold its equity interests in
the German Mannheimer Group and in Medicur- Holding Gesellschaft
m.b.H., in which various media investments were bundled, and its
hotel investments. Meanwhile, UNIQA Group has strengthened its core
insurance business since 2011, including by increasing its indirect
interest in four private clinics in Austria to 100%, by acquiring
minority interests in foreign Group companies and by purchasing two
insurance companies in Croatia and Serbia from Baloise (Switzerland)
in 2014.
