VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP AG 
By
On 4 May 2012 the 21st Annual General Meeting of Vienna
Insurance Group AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe was held at
Stadthalle in Vienna. Due to an increase in the profit
(before taxes) by 10.1 percent to about EUR 560 million and
a growth in premiums by 3.4 percent to about EUR 9 billion,
the best result in Group's history has been achieved. The
double-digit profit increase in the core markets Austria,
Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic has been
remarkable.
In view of the excellent result, the Annual General Meeting
approved the motion of the Managing Board to raise the
dividend by 10 percent and to pay EUR 1.10 per share. The
dividend payment date and the ex-dividend date is 14 May
2012.
