Pursuant to the Rules of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, d.d., Ljubljana and the Market in Financial Instruments Act, Sava Re, d.d., Dunajska 56, 1000 Ljubljana hereby announces the following:

In 2006 and 2007, Sava Re, d.d., raised a subordinated debt in the nominal amount of € 32 million maturing in 2027. Sava Re raised the subordinated debt to expand the Sava Re Group to the markets of the former Yugoslavia and to improve its capital adequacy position in accordance with the then applicable insurance laws and the Standard & Poor's model. In January 2014, Sava Re redeemed € 8 million of the nominal amount of the subordinated debt. Under the contractual provisions, the remaining nominal amount of € 24 million can be early repaid as of 2017.

After receiving the approval of the Slovenian Insurance Supervision Agency, Sava Re, d.d. repaid the first tranche of the subordinated debt in the nominal amount of € 12 million on 15 March 2017. The remaining part of the subordinated debt in a nominal amount of € 12 million is scheduled to be repaid in June 2017.

After the repayment of the subordinated debt, Sava Re, d.d. and the Sava Re Group will maintain a high solvency ratio under the applicable law. Furthermore, the simulations of models of rating agencies Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best have shown that the early repayment of the subordinated debt would not affect the capital position so that both the Company and the Sava Re Group will maintain a solid target level of capitalisation.
