The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Managing and Supervisory Boards of the Vienna Insurance Group and resolved to increase the dividend from 60 cents to 80 cents per share. This is equivalent to a distribution of 35.6% of profit after tax and non-controlling interests. The Group therefore continue its long-standing dividend policy of distributing at least 30% of net profit. The ex-dividend date is 17 May 2017, the record date (dividend) is 18 May 2017 and the dividend payment date is 19 May 2017.

Gabriele Semmelrock-Werzer, Member of the Managing Board of Krntner Sparkasse, and Gerhard Fabisch, Chairman of the Steiermrkische Sparkasse Managing Board, were appointed to the Supervisory Board.
