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.

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.
