Mission Statement

Donau - The Company

Donau Versicherung AG Vienna Insurance Group is among the Top Ten insurance companies of Austria. Traditionally our focus is on private clients, agriculture as well as trade and industry. In the last few years Donau has strengthened its position in the life insurance sector and is represented in the market with modern and innovative products.

We are represented throughout Austria in eight provincial headquarters, in approximately 60 branch offices and service outlets with about 1400 staff.

Donau Versicherung was founded in 1867, in the same year in which the famous waltz with the same name was composed. This means we have gained 140 years of experience over a rather turbulent span of time and are looking forward to meeting the challenges of the future with great commitment.

For our Clients

It is in line with our entrepreneurial spirit that we constantly strive to meet the requirements of our customers. Together with the customer we determine his personal need for protection and provisions for the future.

For our Staff

Our senior managers are setting an example for all their staff. They delegate responsibility and competence and involve their staff in decision-making processes. Every one of our employees can depend on the entire team. The experience, the training and the security of a large insurance company are the basis on which Donau staff are giving expert advice to customers.

For our Shareholders

Our prudent business strategy makes it possible to increase our earnings and to improve our financial strength. We welcome the economic challenges with new ideas and improved business solutions. We adapt to the changing times and utilize our potential to improve business results.

For Society

Introduction by the Board of Management

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Customers of Donau,

with the present report we would like to give you an overview on the development of Donau Versicherung AG Vienna Insurance Group during the past business year.

The year 2007 started with the storm Kyrill. In large parts of Europe normal life came to a standstill. This storm and other extraordinary weather phenomena point to a worldwide and unstoppable climatic change. This only emphasizes the importance of having an appropriate insurance cover.

In the sector of provisions for the future, private insurers have become more and more important in the last few years. The reduction of benefits provided by the state in all areas makes it clear how important private insurance protection is and how it benefits society and the economy.

As a successful Austrian insurance company we offer personal service, flexibility in our sales organization, efficiency in our administrative processes and utilization of all available technical resources.

In the life insurance sector Donau has taken advantage of the market potential, establishing itself in the market with a flexible product line. The most recent investment trends, such as sustainable funds, environmental and ethical funds were included in 2007 in the fund programme of the StarInvest – a fund-linked life insurance product of the Donau.

In 2008 Donau stresses its commitment to the environment. In motor third party insurances Donau offers a special nature bonus to those clients who are contributing to the campaign to safeguard the environment by driving a car using alternative propulsion methods.

In special actions such as the trade campaign 2007 we have focussed on small and medium sized companies as our target group. In addition the private clients and free lance professionals, small and medium sized companies constitute a significant segment of our client base.

Overall, the year 2007 was very successful for the Donau. With a premium growth of 4.8 percent we again exceeded the growth rate of the Austrian insurance industry as a whole. This way Donau has more than fullfilled its high ambitions.

The long-term aim is the continuous improvement and stabilization of the technical result. An efficient cost management and consistent optimization of administrative processes by means of modern information and communication technologies have upmost priority. With sustainable measures we are reaching significant results.

Inspite of the storm claims, the combined ratio (after reinsurance) remained well below the 100-percent mark in 2007. The Donau was able to improve its economic result significantly. The profit on ordinary activities increased by 57.7 percent to EUR 44.0 million.

The year 2007 was a year of change for the Donau. With the change of the logo and the company name to Donau Versicherung AG Vienna Insurance Group we are stressing our affiliation with the large family of the Vienna Insurance Group. With three new board members we are now ready for the challenges of the future. By planning for the longterm future, we have initiated a new generation in order to safeguard continuity and the further success of the company.

Not only in Austria our customers can depend on us. Within the framework of the Freedom of Services Directive and with the support of more than 40 insurance companies of the Vienna Insurance Group in CEE countries we are able to offer our clients international service at the high standard they are used to. The advantages of the largest insurance network in the fast growing CEE economies are thus directly accessible to our clients and sales partners. After the foundation in 2006 of our branch office in Italy we have been able to expand our position in 2007 as a competent and flexible partner for brokers and multiple agencies.

Our Donau success is only possible with highly motivated staff. We would therefore like to thank our staff for their commitment. We thank our clients, our shareholders and our business partners for their trust in us. Together with our staff we will continue to respond to the opportunities and challenges of the market.

The Board of Management, Donau Versicherung AG Vienna Insurance Group

VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP

The Vienna Insurance Group is the leading insurance Group in Austria and a top-player in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The Group is a composite insurer that offers its customers innovative products and modern insurance solutions in the property/casualty, life insurance and health insurance business.

Leading position in CEE The Vienna Insurance Group was one of the first insurance groups to recognise and quickly take advantage of the growth opportunities offered by a unified Europe. Today, the Group is one of the most important players in the CEE region. The Vienna Insurance Group now operates in 23 markets*, extending from Turkey in the south to Estonia in the north, and Vaduz in the west to Vladivostok in the east, thereby achieving broad geographic diversification. In Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and Georgia the Vienna Insurance Group is one of the leading insurers in the markets. In a comparison with other international insurance groups the Vienna Insurance Group is number 1 in its core markets in CEE in non-life insurance and occupies an outstanding second place in the overall market. * subject to approval of authorities

Clear growth strategy The Vienna Insurance Group has followed a clear strategy of value-oriented growth for many years. The central objective has been to be the leader. This applies at the level of the Group as a whole, to management and to each employee. The strategy of the Vienna Insurance Group has been to push forward expansion in the high-growth CEE region using selective market entries and organic growth, and to develop its leading positions in service and customer satisfaction through continuous improvements to the range of services offered. In addition to its strong market position, the Group is also using multi-channel distribution, systematic utilisation of synergies and broad risk diversification to optimise its access to customers. For example, the broad diversification over markets and products creates a correspondingly solid business structure, which is also reflected in an excellent rating, among other things (Standard & Poor’s: A+; stable outlook). Another key success factor of the Vienna Insurance Group is its multibrand policy, which relies on the effectiveness of using proven brand names with a rich tradition in all markets.

Pure play in the CEE region The Vienna Insurance Group is well positioned to participate in the increasing needs for insurance accompanying the rising standard of living in the countries of the CEE region. In 2007, the proportion of total Group premiums* contributed by group companies in the CEE already exceeded 40%, even rising to rough 60% in the property / casualty area. No other international insurance company generates such a high proportion of its premiums in this high-growth region. * preliminary, unconsolidated figures 2007

10 | Donau Business Year 2007

Listing on the Vienna and Prague Stock Exchanges Since 2005 the Vienna Insurance Group has been listed on the Prime Market sector of the Vienna Stock Exchange and is a part of the ATX leading share index. The company’s very pleasing performance over the past few years reflects the confidence felt by financial markets towards the business. In order to make the Group even more attractive to investors and reflecting its CEE presence also on capital markets, the shares have also been listed on the Prague Stock Exchange since the beginning of February 2008. As of February 1, 2008 the Group’s shares will be traded under its international name Vienna Insurance Group using the ticker symbol VIG.

We keep our promises The figures for recent years show that the Vienna Insurance Group is implementing its strategy successfully. The average annual growth in premiums of 19.8% for the Vienna Insurance Group as a whole during the 2004–2006 period is even surpassed by the profit before taxes, which grew on average by 43.5% per year during the same period, thereby exceeding the Group’s original targets by a wide margin. Dynamic growth in the CEE region also made a decisive contribution to this result. The Vienna Insurance Group is benefiting from its early involvement in CEE, which is already providing a solid contribution to profit. In particular, premiums written in the CEE region increased on average by 36.8% per year during the 2004–2006 period, while the average growth in profit before taxes was 40.3% over the same period.

Central and Eastern Europe – our growth market with a future The CEE region represents a significant growth opportunity for the insurance industry. The development of business potential resulting from the Vienna Insurance Group’s expansion into the CEE countries is based primarily on two factors: The insurance density in the CEE region (premiums per capita) is considerably below the Western European level, and the insurance markets exhibit above-average growth rates. In addition, rapid economic growth and continuing integration of the CEE countries into the European Union is increasing the wealth of the population. The demand for financial services to insure the assets that have been created and safeguard the standard of living has been growing at an above-average rate. The insurance market in a dynamically growing economy such as the CEE region therefore exhibits greater growth potential than the overall market. These are the factors that make Central and Eastern Europe so attractive for the Vienna Insurance Group.

Our plans for the future are manifold The Vienna Insurance Group has ambitious plans for the coming years. By consistently adhering to its strategy, the Vienna Insurance Group aims to achieve a premium volume of approximately EUR 10 billion for 2010. Compared to the current level, this corresponds to an average annual increase of approximately 14%. Profit before tax is expected to grow at an average annual

rate of approximately 21%, thereby continuing to surpass the growth rate in premiums to reach EUR 770 million by 2010.

January 2007 will be remembered as a month of storms. Within only a week three different storms passed over central Europe, the storm Kyrill caused the greatest damage. The mild winter of 2006/2007 helped to mitigate the claims situation so that the insurance industry did not suffer further losses.

Successful Partnership with the Savings Bank Sector

For many years now Donau has been maintaining a successful partnership with the savings bank sector. The sales organizations of the Donau and of Erste Bank und Sparkassen offer products of both companies to their customers. Through this cooperation the Donau sales force has the advantage of being able to offer competent advice and service in all important financial areas.

16 | Donau Business Year 2007

Donau focusses on a life-cycle adapted product policy. Depending on the

Flexible Product Range

actual situation Donau offers flexible individual insurance covers.

In 2007 provisions for the future were again a subject of discussion for both the younger and the older generation. The reduction of state financed pensions makes provisions for old age a personal concern for all Austrians. With modern and flexible products Donau responds to the increased consciousness of the need for provisions and security.

The BonusPension, the state-subsidized retirement plan, is an excellent highly developed product of the Donau in this segment. Capital guarantee, life expectancy statistics guarantee, protection for dependants, as well as further additional elements, which may be freely chosen, have become standard features of the product range.

Likewise Donau is highly successful with its occupational disability insurance which adapts the insurance protection to the actual situation in life. The quality of this product was awarded top marks by the German rating agency Franke & Bornberg already shortly after its launch in 2005.

In 2007 the funds included in the successful StarInvest were expanded to cover interesting investment regions and the most recent investment trends, such as environmental and ethical funds. This fund-linked life insurance offers optimum returns on investment, and at the same time protection for the future, leaving hardly any wish of the investor unfullfilled.

StarBond 07BestEdition was launched as a limited one time premium product in 2007, thus continuing the successful StarBond-line of the Donau combining the elements security and investment returns in the investment concept.

The subject of provisions for personal care has become more important in the last few years. Donau has been responding to this development by launching the StarPflegeRente as a single premium product and the Lebensqualitätsversicherung, a dread disease insurance, which pays out benefits in case of severe diseases and recently also in case of need of personal care.

You can depend on Donau as a partner for every phase of life with its personal accident insurance product SicherDurchsLeben, which was relaunched in 2007. A number of optional additional covers complement the individual insurance protection.

The trade offensive of 2007 was a focus in the property and casualty sector of the Donau. Small and medium-sized companies are the backbone of the Austrian economy and therefore a traditional target group of the Donau.

Donau stresses its positioning as an insurer for Austrian requirements with the well-known flexible Donau service. Besides its modern products, the high standard of service is a top priority of the Donau. Donau is present all over Austria with a high number of service outlets and customer-friendly opening hours as well as local service. It is also the ideal partner for fast and efficient claims settlement. Donau Business Year 2007 | 17

Local Service

In addition, Donau Brokerline cooperates with about 3000 independent insurance brokers and agents. The Brokerline supports independent sales outlets within an Austrian-wide organization, its response time is minimal and it offers the well-known high service level. Claims advices can be handled also via telephone under the Austrian hotline +43 (0)50 330 330. Optimized administrative processes and future-oriented IT-support complete the picture.

MyDon@u

A modern and future-oriented product line must include on-line information of contract details. MyDon@u is available to clients free of charge and offers access to their policy details via internet. Donau clients can register directly under www.donauversicherung.at. In addition to the possibility to view all policies with up-to-date information the client is informed on the value of his funds on a daily basis at the push of a button in the case of fund-linked life insurances. Donau has been offering a special service since the beginning of 2006: loading down the premium payment confirmation required by the tax authorities for the offsetting of premiums. The online service is being continuously extended and improved.

Donau established in Italy

Not only in Austria customers can depend on the Donau. After the foundation of an Italian branch office in 2006, Donau has successfully expanded its position in 2007 as a competent and flexible partner of brokers and multiple agencies. At present business activities concentrate on the north Italian market. In order to better develop it, the seat of the branch office was transferred from Bozen to Milan, the financial centre of Italy, in 2007. The special advantage of the Donau is its efficient and fast claims settlement service. Donau is presently active in Italy in property and casualty business.

The name of my provision for the future is Susi. Can it get more personal than that?

With the poster campaign of 2007 Donau was able to position itself as the insurer offering personal quality service on a local level. The campaign was greeted with much enthusiasm. The customer associates the Donau products and the company itself with each individual staff member, be it Susi, Walter, Robert, Julia or Robert!

In the radio spots aired in early summer and in autumn the theme of the poster campaign was reiterated, reminding customers again, supporting and strengthening the message. Donau clients should get the feeling that service is a personal matter, provided by their local representative, the staff of the sales organization and of the administration. All this is possible at the Donau!

Advertising for the Donau was complemented and strengthened in the summer of 2007 by summer festival give-aways, making many street festivals, company celebrations and similar events festivals of the Donau. All advertising efforts have contributed to the creation of a strong and eye-catching presence and to the promotion of its image of a flexible and personal quality insurer.

Media Award in Gold

In 2006 Donau was awarded the Media Award in Gold for its hand-painted poster campaign. The determining factor for the award was the inventiveness of the campaign, the ideas and their implementation. The challenging and innovative posters were hand-painted and included a reference to the neighbouring poster. 18 | Donau Business Year 2007

Outlook

According to a forecast of the Austrian Association of Insurance Companies

Forecast for 2008

the total premium income of the insurance industry will increase by approximately 1.9 percent in 2008. Compared to that the Institute for Economic Research expects an increase of 2.2 percent of the GDP in real terms for 2008.

Austrian life insurers expect a premium growth of 1.0 percent in 2008. As of January 1st, 2008 the state subsidy for premium subsidized pension products is increased to

Investment and provision trends

9.5 percent of the paid in premiums. Austrians are recognizing the importance of private old age provisions. More than one million Austrians have taken out a premium subsidized old age provision since 2003.

Starting in January 2008 Donau offers the StarKapitalGarant also as a single premium product. The StarKapitalGarant is a fund based life insurance with an absolute capital guarantee.

Provisions for personal care are becoming a matter of increased interest in the next few years. Donau is making an important contribution with its personal care provision products, the StarPflegeRente and the Lebensqualitätsversicherung.

For 2008 the premium growth in property & casualty business is forecast by the Association of Austrian Insurance Companies at 2.6 percent.

In January 2008 the new Donau motor tariff with several improvements will be launched. Donau focusses on sustainability and environment and actively contributes to protection of the climate by offering a nature bonus. Owners of motor cars with alternative propulsion systems make a valuable contribution to the protection of the environment and of the climate. Donau rewards the reduction of CO2 output with a premium bonus. It is planned to relaunch homeowners’ and householders’ insurance products in the middle of 2008, integrating ecological and environmental aspects.
