Rule 38
A special age limit for members of the Management Board specified in the articles is not considered to be appropriate. The appointment to the Management Board depends exclusively on professional and personal qualifications.
Rule 45
Markus Mair is, in addition to his function as a member of the Supervisory Board of UNIQA Versicherungen AG, also on the Supervisory Board of Grazer Wechselseitige Versicherung AG and GRAWE-Vermögensverwaltung.
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 52
The Supervisory Board of UNIQA Versicherungen AG consists of twelve shareholder representatives. This higher number is a result of the company’s shareholder structure.
