Talanx successful in buying back selected outstanding bonds

Hannover, 10 July 2012

Talanx AG has encountered a very strong response from noteholders to its invitation to buy back selected bonds. Overall, investors have offered the company outstanding bonds with a nominal amount of around 204 million euros for buy-back. Talanx will buy back all offered bonds. The interest expressed even slightly exceeds the initial maximum acceptance amount of up to 200 million euros which Talanx indicated at the launch of the transaction.

On 21 June 2012, Talanx AG invited noteholders to express their interest in a buy-back by 6 July 2012. On the settlement date of 11 July 2012, Talanx will buy back a nominal amount of around 108 million euros of notes due in 2024 issued by HDI-Gerling Industrie Versicherung AG (ISIN: XS0198106238) and about 96 million euros of notes due in 2025 issued by Talanx Finanz (Luxemburg) S.A. (ISIN: XS0212420987).
