Vienna - In connection with bonds issued by German Infinus group over which
insolvency proceedings were instituted in the year 2014 a complaint for damage
claims based on private law has been filed against UNIQA Österreich
Versicherungen AG ("UNIQA Österreich") in its capacity as legal successor of
former FINANCE LIFE Lebensversicherung AG ("FinanceLife"). The alleged claims
result from the German business of FinanceLife which was terminated already in
the year 2011. The complaint has been filed by a German special purpose entity.
The amount claimed is approx. EUR 3.9 million. The complaint includes a
reservation of further claims of additional investors possibly being lodged (the
amount not being specified in the complaint; out of court, the plaintiff has
alleged claims in an up to aggregate medium size two-digit Euro million amount).
Further claims are being alleged by other creditors out of court.
FinanceLife which was merged with UNIQA Österreich as surviving company in the
year 2016 had a business relationship with members of Infinus group; FinanceLife
had entered into fund linked life insurance contracts with members of Infinus
group. No business or contractual relationship existed with investors who
invested into debentures issued by companies belonging to Infinus group. Those
investors will suffer a loss in respect of their claims as bondholders in the
course of the insolvency proceedings instituted over the companies belonging to
Infinus group. The plaintiff argues that FinanceLife would have contributed to
the loss of investors into Infinus bonds (resulting from the Infinus insolvency)
caused by FinanceLife entering into contracts over fund linked insurance
products. For strategic reasons, UNIQA had decided to withdraw from the German
market altogether already in the year 2011 and has not entered into insurance
contracts with Infinus group members since then.
In the opinion of UNIQA Österreich, the allegations raised in the complaint and
out of court are totally unfounded, and the claims alleged do not have a legal
basis, neither the claims as such nor as to the amounts claimed. UNIQA
Österreich contests the claims raised and will resort to all legally available
measures to defend itself against the alleged claims.
