The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company Information 20.09.2011 The management board of Österreichische Volksbanken AG (VBAG) announces that due to the increasingly difficult economic environment a payment on profit-related instruments (shares, participation capital, hybrid capital and supplementary capital) in 2012 for the 2011 business year is unlikely from today´s viewpoint. According to a current forecast the main reasons for the profit warning are an increasingly difficult economic environment which negatively affected the valuation of participations (VB Romania), the sale of participations as well as an earnings forecast impacted by potential additional financial burdens (e.g. measures by the Hungarian government with respect to foreign currency loans).
