Exchange offer for 2007 hybrid bond - Seite 2

Wienerberger hybrid bond 2014: attractive return in times of historically low interest rates The terms of the new hybrid bond are based on the 2007 security: it represents subordinated capital with a fixed interest rate, one-sided cancellation rights by Wienerberger and an unlimited term. Therefore, the 2014 hybrid bond will also be classified as equity under IFRS. Similar to the coupon on the old bond, the 2014 bond will have an interest rate of 6.5% up to February 9, 2017. For the next four years up to February 9, 2021, the coupon will equal 5.00%. At this date Wienerberger has a call option. If this option is not exercised, the interest rate will change to the five-year swap rate in effect on that date plus 595 basis points. Consequently, the new hybrid bond offers bondholders an attractive return on their investment in the current historically low interest rate environment.
