In accordance with the code, the “L rules” (legal requirements) are all fully adhered to. However, UNIQA deviates from the provisions of the code in the version applicable for the reporting year with regard to the following “C rules” (comply or explain) and explains as follows:
Rule 31
UNIQA Versicherungen AG does not consider the disclosure of remuneration of individual Management Board members as sensible or purposeful, both for reasons of protection of personal data and with regard to the right to privacy of the individual Management Board members.
Rule 49
Due to the growth of UNIQA’s shareholder structure and the special nature of the insurance business with regard to the investment of insurance assets, there are a number of contracts with companies associated with individual members of the Supervisory Boards. As long as such contracts require approval by the Supervisory Board, according to Section 95 paragraph 5 sub-para 12 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (rule 48), the details of these contracts cannot be made public for reasons of company policy and competition laws. In any case, all transactions are handled under customary market conditions.
Rule 51
UNIQA Versicherungen AG does not consider the disclosure of remuneration of individual Supervisory Board members as sensible or purposeful, both for reasons of protection of personal data and with regard to the right to privacy of the individual Supervisory Board members.
