Address – Notes – General information

Notice

This annual report includes forward-looking statements based on current assumptions and estimates that were made by the management of Vienna Insurance Group AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe to the best of its knowledge. Disclosures using the words “expected”, “target” or similar formulations are an indication of such forward-looking statements. Forecasts related to the future development of the Company are estimates made on the basis of information available as of the date this report went to press. Actual results may differ from the forecasts if the assumptions underlying the forecast prove to be wrong or if unexpectedly large risks occur.

Calculation differences may arise when rounded amounts and percentages are summed automatically.

The annual report was prepared with great care to ensure that all information is complete and accurate. The possibility of rounding, type-setting or printing errors, however, cannot be ruled out completely.

Our goal was to make the Annual Report as easy to read and as clear as possible. For this reason we have not used phrasing such as “he/she”, “his/her”, etc. It should be understood that the text always refers to women and men equally without discrimination.
