Siegfried Hofreiter says: "The surge in our H1 2014 profits marked the
beginning of our "harvest phase" and we intend to continue it consistently.
This is why securing our medium-term funding needs is a top priority for
us. We launched a refinancing exercise for our 2010/2015 bond early on and
yesterday we made the fourth interest payment on time. Needless to say, the
interest accruing until October 14 will be credited to all bondholders
opting for conversion now. Investors owning 10/15 bonds have until 24
September to decide whether to exchange their shares free of charge on a 1:
1 basis at 100% of the par value for the new 5-year bond with a fixed
annual coupon of 7.25%. Bondholders were informed of the details of the
bond exchange by their banks in August 2014. This information is also
