Pursuant to Section 109 AktG, shareholders who together hold 5% of the share
capital may request in writing that items be put on the agenda and published.
Any such item so requested must be accompanied by a proposal for a resolution
and an explanatory statement. The applicants must have held their shares for at
least three months prior to their request. A request must be received by the

Company's address at A-1029 Vienna, Untere Donaustraße 21, UNIQA Tower, Investor
Relations.
Pursuant to Section 110 AktG, shareholders who together hold 1% of the share
capital may send the Company proposals for resolutions in text form in respect
of each item on the agenda and request that such proposals, including the names
of the requesting shareholders, the reasons to be given for the request, and a
statement, if any, by the management board or the supervisory board be made
available on the Company's website. The request must be sent in writing to the
Company's address at A-1029 Vienna, Untere Donaustraße 21, UNIQA Tower, Investor

Pursuant to Section 118 AktG, every shareholder must receive information about
the Company's affairs at the Annual General Meeting upon his or her request, if
that information is necessary to properly evaluate an item on the agenda.
Information may be withheld if, based on sound business judgment, it is likely
to cause the Company or any of its affiliates a significant drawback, or if the
provision of such information would constitute a criminal offence.
Shareholder rights which are linked to the holding of shares during a certain
period of time may be exercised only if the shareholder(s) submit(s) a deposit
certificate pursuant to Section 10a AktG to prove its (their) shareholder status
during the relevant period.
Further information about shareholder rights pursuant to Sections 109, 110 and
118 AktG is available on the Company's website (www.uniqagroup.com) at Investor
Relations/Annual General Meeting.
 
RIGHT TO ATTEND, DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE, RECORD DATE, AND PROXY (Section 106 (6),
(7) and (8) AktG)

Pursuant to Section 111 (1) AktG, the right to attend the Annual General Meeting
and to exercise shareholder rights depends on the shares held at the end of the
tenth day prior to the Annual General Meeting (record date). Only shareholders
who were shareholders at the end of the tenth day prior to the Annual General
Meeting (record date) may attend the Annual General Meeting and exercise their
shareholder rights. The record date is 20 May 2016, 24.00 hours (Vienna time).
For bearer shares deposited with a custodian (the Company has only issued that
type of shares), proof of shareholder status on the record date is furnished by
producing to the Company a deposit certificate pursuant to Section 10a AktG,
which must be issued in writing and received by the Company on the third
business day prior to the Annual General Meeting at the latest, hence on or
before 24 May 2016, at A-1029 Vienna, Untere Donaustraße 21, UNIQA Tower,
Investor Relations, or via fax at +43 (0)1 8900 500 95 or e-mail to 
anmeldung.uniqa@hauptversammlung.at (e-mail messages must be accompanied by a
deposit certificate in text form (e.g. as pdf file)) or by SWIFT message type
MT598 to GIBAATWGGMS with reference to ISIN AT0000821103. The deposit
certificate pursuant to Section 10a AktG must be issued by the custodian bank
domiciled in a Member State of the European Economic Area or in a full Member
State of the OECD. If the deposit certificate is to prove current shareholder
status, it must not be older than seven days when presented to the Company. The
Company accepts deposit certificates in German and in English.
 
The deposit certificate must be issued by the shareholder's custodian bank and
must contain at least the following information:
- Information about the issuer: name/company name and address or a code commonly
used in transactions between banks (SWIFT code),
- Information about the shareholder: name/company name, address, date of birth
of individuals, register and register number (commercial register number) of
legal entities,
- Securities account number or other identifier,
- Information about the shares: number of the shareholder's share units,
- Date or period to which the deposit certificate refers.
 
Shares are not blocked as a result of shareholders registering for the Annual
General Meeting and/or presenting a deposit certificate. Shareholders may
continue to freely dispose of their shares even after registration and/or
presentation of a deposit certificate.
Every shareholder who may attend the Annual General Meeting may appoint an
individual or a legal entity as proxy. The Company itself or a member of the
management board or of the supervisory board may exercise the voting right as
proxy holder only if a shareholder issued express instructions as to how to vote
on the individual items on the agenda. Proxy must be granted to a certain person
in text form. Every shareholder may use the forms the Company provides on its
website (www.uniqagroup.com) at Investor Relations/Annual General Meetings.
Shareholders are not obliged to use these forms.
At the request of shareholders, they may appoint Dr. Michael Knap, Vice-
President of Interessenverband für Anleger (IVA), at A-1130 Vienna,
Feldmühlgasse 22, as independent proxy who will exercise their voting rights at
the Annual General Meeting. Special forms for the grant and revocation of
proxies are available on the Company's website (www.uniqagroup.com) at Investor
Relations/Annual General Meeting. Any proxy-related costs are borne by the
Company. All other costs, including but not limited to bank charges for the
deposit certificate or postage, must be borne by the shareholder. Furthermore,
shareholders may directly contact Dr. Michael Knap at +43 664 2138740 or e-mail
at  michael.knap@iva.or.at. Even if a proxy is granted to the independent IVA
proxy holder, it must be sent to the Company as described below. The Company
will provide the proxy with copies of the proxies. Any instructions on the
exercise of voting rights must be issued directly to Dr. Michael Knap. Please
note that Dr. Michael Knap does not accept any instructions to speak, to ask
questions, to file motions or to raise objections against resolutions of the
Annual General Meeting.
A shareholder's proxy must be sent to and retained by the Company. A proxy must
be received by the Company no later than on 27 May 2016, 4 p.m. (last business
day prior to the Annual General Meeting), in writing by surface mail at A-1029
Vienna, Untere Donaustraße 21, UNIQA Tower, Investor Relations, or by fax at
+43 (0)1 8900 500 95 or e-mail at  anmeldung.uniqa@hauptversammlung.at (if sent
by e-mail, the proxy must be attached to the e-mail message in text form (e.g.
as pdf file)), or via SWIFT message type MT598 to GIBAATWGGMS with the reference
ISIN AT0000821103.
On the day of the Annual General Meeting, the proxy may be handed over only
personally upon registration for the Annual General Meeting at the venue of the
meeting.
Upon request, the proxy form provided on the Company's website will be sent by
surface mail.
If a shareholder has granted proxy to his or her custodian bank (Section 10a
AktG), the custodian bank, besides issuing a deposit certificate, need only
state that proxy was granted to it.
The above provisions governing the granting of proxies apply by analogy to a
revocation of proxies.
The distribution of voting cards for the Annual General Meeting starts at 9 a.m.
on the day of the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders and their proxies are
asked to bring an official photo ID as identification. The Company reserves the
right to verify the identities of the individuals (shareholders and their
proxies) who attend the Annual General Meeting. If their identity cannot be
determined, shareholders and their proxies may be denied admission to and
presence at the Annual General Meeting.
 
INFORMATION ABOUT BROADCAST OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice pursuant to Section 106 (2) (b) AktG: The Annual General Meeting will be
broadcast via livestream on the Internet from its commencement until the CEO has
concluded his report on item 1 on the agenda.
 
TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS ON THE CONVOCATION DATE (Section 106
(9) AktG and Section 83 (2) No 1 Austrian Stock Exchange Act [BörseG])

When the Annual General Meeting is convened, the Company's share capital amounts
to EUR 309,000,000 divided into 309,000,000 no-par share units. Each share unit
grants one vote. The Company holds 819,650 treasury shares on the date of
convening the Annual General Meeting. On the date of convening the Annual
General Meeting, there are therefore 308,180,350 shares entitled to participate
in and to vote at the Annual General Meeting. Different share classes do not
exist.
