Merger approved by RZB's shareholders meeting

07.07.2010

Vienna. 7 July.

• Spin-off of substantial RZB business segments and merger with Raiffeisen International to become Raiffeisen Bank International decided unanimously

• Issue also on agenda of tomorrow's annual general meeting of Raiffeisen International

This morning, at their annual general meeting the shareholders of Raiffeisen Zentralbank Osterreich AG (RZB) unanimously approved the spin-off and merger with their subsidiary Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding AG. In concrete terms, substantial business segments of RZB — above all business with Austrian and international corporate customers — are to be spun off to Cembra Beteiligungs AG, a 100 per cent RZB subsidiary company holding around 72.8 per cent of Raiffeisen International shares. Subsequently, Cembra and Raiffeisen International are to be merged. Raiffeisen International would obtain a banking licence as a result and would be renamed Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The new bank would continue to be listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange.

An application to decide about the merger will also be on the agenda of tomorrow's annual general meeting of Raiffeisen International. Subject to the approvals by the relevant authorities, the new RZB Group structure can then be implemented.

RZB will continue to operate under its current name, remaining the central institution of the Austrian Raiffeisen Banking Group and the steering holding of RZB Group, which includes Raiffeisen Bank International.
