Detailed description VOLKSBANK WIEN AG is an Austrian bank offering a range of financial services including retail banking, corporate banking, and investment services.

An analysis of a notable financial instrument reveals an offering from Volksbank Wien AG, an Austrian cooperative bank and a significant entity within the country's financial landscape, operating as part of the wider Volksbanken Group. The specific instrument under scrutiny is a bond, identified by ISIN code AT000B121991, which stands out due to its perpetual maturity, implying no fixed redemption date for the principal amount. This Euro-denominated bond carries a nominal interest rate of 7.75% and currently trades at 100% of its par value on the market, reflecting a trading at par. The total issue size for this bond is substantial, amounting to 220,000,000 EUR, with a minimum lot size for investment set at 200,000 EUR, typically catering to institutional or high-net-worth investors. Interest payments on this perpetual bond are scheduled semi-annually, indicated by a payment frequency of 2 per year, providing regular income to bondholders without a foreseen principal repayment unless specified conditions for call or conversion are met, characteristics often associated with such deeply subordinated or equity-like instruments from financial institutions.

This Prospectus has been approved by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (Finanzmarktaufsichtsbehörde ­ "FMA") as a
prospectus under the Prospectus Directive in its capacity as competent authority under the KMG.
The accuracy of the information contained in this Prospectus does not fall within the scope of examination by the FMA
under the KMG and the Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and the Prospectus Directive. The FMA has
examined this Prospectus only in respect of its completeness, coherence and comprehensibility pursuant to § 8a KMG.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
and subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons.
Application has been made to the Vienna Stock Exchange for the Notes to be admitted to the Official Market (Amtlicher Handel ­ the
"Market"). The Market is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council



of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU, as amended
(Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II ­ "MiFID II").
Prospective purchasers of the Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their
exposure to risks and that they consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in the light of their own circumstances
and financial condition.
Investing in the Notes involves certain risks. Please review the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 18 of this
Prospectus. This Prospectus does not describe all of the risks of an investment in the Notes, but the Issuer believes that all
material risks relating to an investment in the Notes have been described.
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to any retail investor. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as
defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on insurance distribution, as amended (Insurance Distribution Directive ­ "IDD"),
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November
2014 on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs), as amended ("PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the European Economic Area
("EEA") has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the
EEA may be unlawful under PRIIPs Regulation.
Further, the Notes are not intended to be sold and should not be sold to retail clients in the EEA, as defined in the rules set
out in the Product Intervention (Contingent Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015, as
amended or replaced from time to time, other than in circumstances that do not and will not give rise to a contravention of
those rules by any person. Prospective investors are referred to the section headed "Restrictions on Marketing and Sales to
Retail Investors" on pages 4 et seq. of this Prospectus for further information.
On each Reset Date the Reset Rate of Distributions payable under the Notes is calculated by reference to the annual swap rate for
swap transactions denominated in Euro with a term of five years, which appears on the Reuters Screen Page ICESWAP2 under the
heading "EURIBOR BASIS ­ EUR" and above the caption "11:00 AM FRANKFURT" as of 11:00 a.m. (Frankfurt time) on the relevant
Reset Determination Date, and which is provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (the "Administrator"). As at the date of
this Prospectus, the Administrator appears on the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the
European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to
measure the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2014/17/EU and Regulation
(EU) No 596/2014, as amended (Benchmark Regulation ­ "BMR").
The annual swap rate for swap transactions denominated in Euro with a term of five years, which appears on the Reuters Screen
Page ICESWAP2 under the heading "EURIBOR BASIS ­ EUR" is calculated with reference to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate
("EURIBOR"), which is provided by the European Money Market Institute ("EMMI"). As at the date of this Prospectus, the EMMI does
not appear on the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the ESMA pursuant to Article 36 BMR.
As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 BMR apply, such that the EMMI is not currently required to obtain
authorisation or registration.
Prospective purchasers of the Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their exposure to
risks and that they consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition.

RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETING AND SALES
TO RETAIL INVESTORS
The Notes issued pursuant to this Prospectus are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable
or appropriate investment for all investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted
or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the
Notes to retail investors.
In particular, in June 2015, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") published the Product
Intervention (Contingent Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015
("PI Instrument"), which took effect from 1 October 2015. In addition, (i) on 1 January 2018, the
provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 on key information documents for packaged and retail
and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs), as amended ("PRIIPs Regulation") became
directly applicable in al EEA Member States; and (i ) the Directive 2014/65/EU of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending
Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU, as amended (Markets in Financial Instruments
Directive II ­ "MiFID II") was required to be applied by EEA Member States by 3 January 2018 (the
PI Instrument, the PRIIPs Regulation and the MiFID II together referred to as the "Regulations").
The Regulations set out various obligations in relation to (i) the manufacture and distribution of
financial instruments; and (i ) the offering, sale and distribution of packaged retail and insurance-
based investment products and certain contingent write-down or convertible securities such as the
Notes.
The Sole Lead Manager is required to comply with some or all of the Regulations. By purchasing, or
making or accepting an offer to purchase any Notes (or a beneficial interest in the Notes) from the
Issuer and/or the Sole Lead Manager each prospective investor represents, warrants, agrees with and
undertakes to the Issuer and the Sole Lead Manager that:
1.
it is not a retail client as defined in MiFID II or a customer within the meaning of
Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on
4



insurance distribution, as amended (Insurance Distribution Directive ­ "IDD"), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in MiFID II);
2.
whether or not it is subject to the Regulations it wil not:
(A) sell or offer the Notes (or any beneficial interest therein) to retail clients (as defined in
MiFID II); or
(B) communicate (including the distribution of the Prospectus) or approve an invitation or
inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite the Notes (or any beneficial interests
therein) where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a
way that it is likely to be received by a retail client (in each case, within the meaning of
the MiFID II). In sel ing or offering the Notes or making or approving communications
relating to the Notes you may not rely on the limited exemptions set out in the PI
Instrument; and
3.
it wil at all times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether
inside or outside the EEA) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the
Notes (or any beneficial interests therein), including (without limitation) MiFID II and any other
such laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating to determining the appropriateness
and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) by investors
in any relevant jurisdiction.
Each prospective investor further acknowledges that:
(i)
the identified target market for the Notes (for the purposes of the product governance
obligations in MiFID II) is eligible counterparties and professional clients;
(i )
all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are
appropriate; and
(iii) no key information document ("KID") under PRIIPs Regulation has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA
may be unlawful under PRIIPs Regulation.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or
accepting an offer to purchase, any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from the Issuer and/or
the Sole Lead Manager the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings wil
be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.

9 The Association of Volksbanks' financial statements are prepared according to IFRS rules. For full consolidation
purposes § 30a(8) of the Austrian Banking Act (Bankwesengesetz ­ "BWG") specifies that the central organisation is
to be regarded as superordinate institution and every affiliated institution and, under certain conditions, each
transferring legal entity, is to be treated as a subordinate institution. In accordance with IFRS, a full consolidation only
can take place if a company has full authority over decisions of the associated company, in other words, it has the
ability to influence returns on equity by its power of disposition (IFRS 10.6). The Association of Volksbanks central
organisation has the right to issue instructions, but doesn't receive returns from the member cred it institutions;
therefore the central organisation has no control as defined by IFRS 10. The lack of an ultimate controlling parent
company means that despite the central organisation's extensive power to issue instructions, the consolidated
accounts can only be drawn up by treating the Association of Volksbanks as a group of companies which are legally
separate entities under unified control without a parent company. It was therefore necessary to define a set of rules
for preparing the Association of Volksbanks' financial statements.
