40 ANNUAL REPORT 2010 | WIENER STÄDTISCHE<br />
WIENER STÄDTISCHE NEW<br />
Welcome to the future!<br />
<strong>Wiener</strong> <strong>Städtische</strong> is a wholly-owned subsidiary of<br />
the Vienna Insurance Group and number 1 in the<br />
Austrian insurance market.<br />
A look back explains the way to the new<br />
company structure: Over the last two decades<br />
<strong>Wiener</strong> <strong>Städtische</strong> has developed<br />
from a successful local insurance company<br />
to a group operating internationally. Against<br />
this background, <strong>Wiener</strong> <strong>Städtische</strong> was<br />
responsible for a variety of control tasks in<br />
addition to the insurance business operations.<br />

> New corporate structure of <strong>Wiener</strong><br />
<strong>Städtische</strong> legally binding since<br />
3 August 2010.<br />
> The Managing Board of <strong>Wiener</strong><br />
<strong>Städtische</strong> is composed as followed:<br />
Robert LASSHOFER, CEO<br />
Christine DORNAUS<br />
Judit HAVASI<br />
Peter HÖFINGER<br />
Erich LEISS<br />
Ralph MÜLLER*<br />
* Effective 1 April 2011, Ralph Müller<br />
is appointed a member of the Managing<br />
Board of <strong>Wiener</strong> <strong>Städtische</strong>.<br />
To do justice to the dynamic expansion, the<br />
company decided to create a new corporate<br />
structure and to separate the Austrian<br />
insurance business from the international<br />
activities of the group.<br />
At the general meeting of <strong>Wiener</strong><br />
<strong>Städtische</strong> on 29 June 2010, the split-off of<br />
the entire insurance business into a whollyowned<br />
subsidiary was resolved. The resolution<br />
was passed with 100% of the votes<br />
present at the general meeting.<br />
The new organisational structure became<br />
final on 3 August 2010 and took effect<br />
retroactively as of 1 January 2010.<br />
Since then, VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP<br />
AG <strong>Wiener</strong> Versicherung Gruppe, as a publicly<br />
traded holding company, has been<br />
responsible for the control of the group in<br />
Austria and Central and Eastern Europe.<br />
WIENER STÄDTISCHE Versicherung AG<br />
Vienna Insurance Group continues to be<br />
the group’s largest individual property/casualty,<br />
life and health insurance<br />
company in Austria. As a result of the corporate<br />
reorganisation, <strong>Wiener</strong> <strong>Städtische</strong><br />
can fully concentrate on the Austrian market.<br />
The new structure provides transparency<br />
and a strong starting position for the<br />
future.
