II. OUTLOOK

In 2012 the focus will remain on strengthening organic growth - by promoting
business with existing companies. This will, however, not exclude the
possibility of acquisitions rounding off the portfolio.
Vienna Insurance Group set itself the goal of growing above market average in
the next years. The Management of Vienna Insurance Group has committed itself
to keeping volatilities as low as possible by taking into account the economic
background. Vienna Insurance Group also strives to identify cost-cutting
potentials on an ongoing basis and to use them to the best advantage.
