Pursuant to the Rules of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, d.d., Ljubljana and relevant legislation, Pozavarovalnica Sava, d.d., Ljubljana ("Sava Reinsurance Company") hereby announces the following: 

Sava Reinsurance Company redeemed € 8.000.000 of its subordinated debt prior to its scheduled maturity date. In this regard, the Company realised capital gains in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company thus reduced its debt and the related future financing costs. After this partial redemption of the subordinated debt, the total nominal value of the remaining subordinated debt of Sava Reinsurance Company amounts to € 24.000.000. 

This early redemption of subordinated debt does not affect the capital adequacy of the Company (under current legislation), as the amount of subordinated debt included in the capital adequacy statement is limited to 25 % of the Company's required solvency margin, i.e. € 5,8m at 30 June 2013. Accordingly, capital adequacy remains at a high level. 

This announcement will be available on the Company's website at www.sava-re.si, at least five years from the date of the announcement.
