“How has automobile technology changed in the last 30 years?“ Some would answer this question with a short “Not at all”. Toward the end of the seventies, nearly every car had a high standard of safety. Engines were already quite sophisticated and from the perspective of the decade, every type of vehicle we know today had already been invented. However, the answer could also be “fundamentally”. There have been enormous improvements in safety for example ABS, airbags and within the range of engine efficiency and transmission, crucial progress has been undertaken. Real meaning can now be attached to the question of travelling comfort. Power steering, air conditioning and HiFi equipment are today considered basic requirements of a good car. There has also been no respite in the development of types of vehicles either from sporty versions of sedans, small cars for the city, mini vans or station wagons for the family or the style and comfort conscious all-rounder. In short, three great trends can to be observed: 1. Improved security and high travelling comfort 2. Intensified counselling of costumers 3. Increase in vehicle efficiency Slowly you start asking yourself whether you are reading an automobile magazine or an information brochure for investment products. Why the comparison? The Investment sector is in a similar state of development and in principle was influenced by the same trends. The question applied to the automobile industry can also be asked of our industry and answered in the same way. 30 years ago one could invest in shares, bonds or commodities (e.g. gold). “Everything” was already available to travel form “A to B”. Structured Products are “only” the next step in evolution. With Structured Products you still invest in the same markets you did 30 years ago but with financial technologies developed in the last few years. Structured Products are more efficient and safer than traditional investments and the most customer oriented investment solutions on offer. This means nothing less than a high chance of revenue paired with lower costs, improved security and transparency. In short, the ability to meet customer demand precisely.

“How has automobile technology changed in the last 30 years?“ Some would answer this question with a short “Not at all”. Toward the end of the seventies, nearly every car had a high standard of safety. Engines were already quite sophisticated and from the perspective of the decade, every type of vehicle we know today had already been invented.

However, the answer could also be “fundamentally”. There have been enormous improvements in safety for example ABS, airbags and within the range of engine efficiency and transmission, crucial progress has been undertaken. Real meaning can now be attached to the question of travelling comfort. Power steering, air conditioning and HiFi equipment are today considered basic requirements of a good car. There has also been no respite in the development of types of vehicles either from sporty versions of sedans, small cars for the city, mini vans or station wagons for the family or the style and comfort conscious all-rounder. In short, three great trends can to be observed:

1. Improved security and high travelling comfort 2. Intensified counselling of costumers 3. Increase in vehicle efficiency

Slowly you start asking yourself whether you are reading an automobile magazine or an information brochure for investment products. Why the comparison? The Investment sector is in a similar state of development and in principle was influenced by the same trends. The question applied to the automobile industry can also be asked of our industry and answered in the same way. 30 years ago one could invest in shares, bonds or commodities (e.g. gold). “Everything” was already available to travel form “A to B”. Structured Products are “only” the next step in evolution. With Structured Products you still invest in the same markets you did 30 years ago but with financial technologies developed in the last few years. Structured Products are more efficient and safer than traditional investments and the most customer oriented investment solutions on offer. This means nothing less than a high chance of revenue paired with lower costs, improved security and transparency. In short, the ability to meet customer demand precisely. With Österreichische Volksbanken AG (ÖVAG) Structured Investments (www.strukturierte-investments.at) you work with the Austrian market leader.

STRUCTURED INVESTMENTS DEFINITION

By combining various financial instruments, structured investments create an additional benefit for investors. Our goal is to satisfy the diverse investment requirements of our customers with new securities structures. All structured investments are designed with a view to transparency and clarity for investors. For information and product descriptions, please consult our specific brochures on investment products and our web-site.

Structured investments broaden the range of investment products and permit solutions specifically tailored to investors’ individual needs.

Index certificates:

Index certificates offer investors the opportunity to spread the risks associated with the acquisition of individual stocks by investing in broadly based indices. Furthermore, the success of this type of investment does not depend on subjective decision criteria. Investors participate fully in the performance of the indices. Airbag certificates:

The airbag protects the investor against losses up to a certain level. That means that he suffers from losses only under certain conditions. Our products offer the possibility to participate in the positive value development of the underlying. Furthermore some products offer a minimum return, a higher participation factor in the performance of the underlying or a bonus payment! Guarantee products:

Guarantee products address investors who want to invest in equities but do not want to carry the associated risk. The investor has the opportunity of benefiting from price increases of an underlying (index, basket of shares, investment fund, hedge fund). The risk of capital loss is excluded by a capital guarantee at maturity. Guarantee products offer a profit potential without risk of losses. Alternative investments:

Many investors are looking for alternative investments, since no attractive yields can be expected from loans or real estate and investment in equities bears a high degree of uncertainty. Alternative investments, for example Hedge Funds or Future Funds have certain advantages. This is basically their relatively low correlation with shares and loans and their increasing liquidity. Although Hedge and Future Funds have already been around for over 50 years, not many really know how they work. Hedge and Future Funds represent very progressive instruments which, when correctly used, increase the yield of an investment portfolio while at the same time decreasing the risk. Alpha–Strategies:

Profit only from rising stock markets? That belongs to the past! Investments develop in their performance differently well. With Alpha one profits exactly from that! Alpha is the yield, which an Investment can generate independently of the market movement. That is, even with falling or sideways tending markets, in which one would suffer losses with a direct investment, nevertheless profits can be obtained by Alpha Investments.

Rising prices: 1:2 participation in the positive performance of the underlying. The maximum profit from the Turbo-Performer is 120%. This means that price rises of the index of up to 60% will be taken into account in calculating the yields. Declining prices: Investors will not suffer from any losses if price declines of up to 32.99%. If the index value reaches or exceeds a 67% floor during the term of the instrument, no capital guarantee is granted. In this case, investors will be exposed to the same risks as if they had invested directly in an index certificate.

Rising prices: Provided that the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (INDU) never drops by 40% or more during the term of the instrument, investors will receive a 25% premium. Should the index rise by more than 25%, investors will participate in the positive performance of the underlying on a 1:1 base.

Declining prices: Up to a 39.99% decline in value, investors will not suffer from losses. If the decline in value reaches or exceeds 60%, the capital guarantee will no longer be granted. In this case, investors will be exposed to the same risk as if they had invested directly in index certificates.

Development of DJ Euro Stoxx 50 Index(start value 100)

Airbag area

Rising prices: Provided that the DJ EURO STOXX 50® Price Index (SX5E) never drops below the respective barrier during the term of the instrument, investors will receive a 30% (I – IV) resp. 40% (V) premium. Should the index rise by more than 30% (I – IV) resp. 40% (V), investors will participate in the positive performance of the underlying on a 1:1 basis.

Declining prices: Up to a decline in value to the respective barrier, investors will not suffer from losses. If the decline in value reaches or exceeds the barrier, the capital guarantee will no longer be granted. In this case, investors will be exposed to the same risk as if they had invested directly in index certificates.

China Alpha Performer I , II

FUNCTIONAL SET UP: The certificate will be recalled before maturity, if the HSCEI® shows a better performance than the S&P500® on the evaluation date. The relevant parameter is the change in percentage in comparison to the initial value. The growth of both indices will be screened yearly (first time after 13 months). Already a minor outperformance of the HSCEI® causes the repayment after 13 months of the investment. If there is no refunding, the term will be extended for another year. In the same way the chance of repayment increases yearly for additional 11% (I) or 10% (II) (of the nominal amount). The USP of the China Alpha Performer is the possibility of a positive yield also at negative chart development. The evaluation of HSCEI® will be after 4 years and 1 month. If the HSCEI® performed not better than the SPX and the quotation is between initial value and 75% (I) or 80% (II) of the initial value, the repayment will be done at 100. Is the quotation below 75% (I) or 80% (II) of the initial value or above the initial value, the repayment occurs in accordance to the actual performance of the HSCEI® in comparison to the initial value.

After the third year the accumulated coupons sum up for 12.4%→ this results in a guaranteed coupon of 8% p.a. for the following periods.

Coupon year 1: 8% p.a.

Coupon after year 2:

8% basic interest + 30% of the share with the lowest performance (in %) at the time of observation (in comparison with its start value). Negative coupons are not possible. Coupons will be paid in full. As soon as the accumulated coupons reach 9% the investor will receive a guaranteed coupon of 8% p.a. for the rest of term. From this point the annual coupon will no longer depend on the performance of the underlying basket of shares.

Kick-Out-Feature If at least one share falls below 50% of its start value on one of the yearly observation days, the share with the lowest performance will be removed from the basket for the rest of term.

OPPORTUNITIES/RISKS:

+ Direct participation in commodities, silver and the Japanese Blue Chip values of the Nikkei 225® Index

+ High participation in three underlyings + No performance cap - Capital protection is only granted at the end of term UNDERLYING: Nikkei 225® Index: The Nikkei 225® is a price weighted stock index that contains 225 Japanese companies from the first section of the Tokyo stock exchange. It was released in 1949. To ensure continuity, a maximum of 6 companies can be replaced at the yearly revision. DJ AIG Commodity Index®: The Dow Jones AIG Commodity Index® is a highly liquid and diversified index which contains 20 commodities. Production quantity and conveyance-mass are taken into account as well as availability and importance to the global economy. The index is adapted annually to current market conditions. An over and under weighting is prevented through the adjustment rules (shares of the single commodities range between 2% and 33%).

DJ AIG structure:

Silver: Silver is a very ductile and malleable precious metal. It has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals as well as a distinctive optical reflectivity. Therefore it is highly valuable for use in electricity, electronics and optics. As the worldwide demand in silver is continuously rising, countries like China are already disposing of their reserves to supply the demand. Given that stocks are getting low, silver currently seems to be highly underrated which is persuading investors to invest in it.

Explanation of the graph:

Coupon year 1-3: 4.5% p.a.

Coupon year 4-7: A share’s positive performance contributes up to 8% (Cap) to the average performance of the basket. A negative performance will be accounted in full to the average performance of the basket. The basket’s average performance forms the coupon.

Example for year 4: 12 shares have a performance of 8% or more: 12 x 8% = 96% The remaining 8 shares have following performance: 2% + (-14%) + 4% + (-9%) + (-12%) + 2% + (-4%) + 1% = -30% Total performance: 96% - 30% = 66% / 20 = 3.30% Example for year 5: All shares have a performance of 8% or more: 20 x 8% = 160% Total performance: 160% / 20 = 8% The same calculation applies for the years 6 and 7.

Example: Year 4:: 18 shares have a performance of 8% or more → 18 x 8% = 144%

Performance of the 7 remaining shares: 5% + (-8%) + 3% + 7% + (-9%) + 1% + (-2%)= - 3%

Total performance: 144% - 3% = 141% / 25 = 5.64%

Year 5: Minimum coupon of 5% (coupon of the previous year: 5.64% → tier of 5% was reached and locked-in)

15 shares perform with 8% or more → 15 x 8% = 120%

The remaining 10 shares have the following performance: 6% + (-12%) + (-2%) + 4% + (-9%) + (-8%) + 3% + (-10%) + 1% + (-2%)= -29%

Total performance: 120% - 29% = 91% / 25 = 3.64%

Although the coupon is only 3.64%, a coupon of 5% will be paid as in the previous year, the minimum coupon of 5% was locked-in for all following periods.

At maturity, the buyer benefits from a 100% capital guarantee. The performance of the Hedge depends on the development of the portfolio. Participation is initially 100%. If the portfolio shows a positive performance the participation may rise to up to 150%. However, in the worst case scenario, it may drop to 10% at maturity.

PRODUCT PROFILE:

Issue price: 100% + 5% issue premium

Investment period: Medium term

OPPORTUNITIES/RISKS:

+ 100% capital guarantee at the end of term + Dynamic capital guarantee: participation in the GP Hedge portfolio at the start is 100%

resp. 80% + Opportunity to benefit from a participation in the GP Hedge portfolio of 150% resp. 120%

- at least 8% + Exchange of manager and style is possible if necessary + Accounts and transactions are examined by two independent auditors + Risk diversification over different managers and styles, who operate in liquid markets - Due to its construction (Zero Bond + Option) and a product focus over a 7 year term the price only partially reflects the performance of the underlying.

- Capital guarantee is only granted at the end of term GP HEDGE: Alternative Investments - why?

Absolute return approach Performance measurement is evaluated based on the increase of customer´s assets, earning power is not market based but know-how based Good Risk/Yield chances Relatively high chance of a high yield at relatively low variations Portfolio diversification Low correlation with equity and bond markets
