OVB stable in a difficult environment - Seite 2

difficult environment, the positive development in Southern and Western
Europe and the rise in earnings in Germany all underline the sales and
management strength of the whole OVB team', Rentmeister continued.

OVB sees the final three months of 2013 - even in the current low-interest
environment - as a particular challenge because, while last year benefit
was reaped in nearly every market from the introduction of unisex tariffs,
this effect will no longer be felt this year. 'Our business model remains
stable and profitable. Therefore, our most important target of generating a
dividend at the previous year's level from the results of current business
seems achievable', said Rentmeister, setting the direction for the rest of
the year.
