Invest with 93% percent minimum redemption value at maturity:
The new “HVB bond with 93% minimum repayment 10/2029” based on the “Thematic Strategy Index”

• New bond with 93% minimum repayment based on the “Thematic Strategy Index” offers scope to take maximum benefit from positive index developments
• Minimum 93% repayment of face value by issuer at maturity
• Bond matures after eight years and can be sold under normal market conditions, either on the exchange or over the counter. 

The basis for development of the “HVB bond with 93% minimum repayment 10/2029” is the “Thematic Strategy Index”. The index tracks the performance of the “Allianz Thematica – IT – EUR” equity fund, taking into account a flexible hedging system. The “Thematic Strategy Index” consists of two components, the “Allianz Thematica – IT – EUR” and the “HVB 3 Months Rolling Euribor Index” money market index. The "Allianz Thematica – IT – EUR" is an equity fund with the objective of long-term income growth while adhering to a dynamic risk budget. The multi-theme fund invests worldwide and is oriented towards trends and innovations that are constantly being evolved and adapted. This gives investors the opportunity to invest in current topics. Social and ecological aspects, such as the reduction of CO2 emissions, are also taken into account in the investment decision. The “HVB 3 Months Rolling Euribor Index” money market index is calculated by UniCredit Bank and reflects the performance of an investment that is renewed every three months at an interest rate corresponding to the three-month Euribor.

The aim of the “Thematic Strategy Index” is to participate in the performance of the “Allianz Thematica – IT – EUR” equity fund in a risk-optimised manner, taking into account a flexible hedging system. For this purpose, the system determines the participation of the controlling “Thematic Strategy Index” in the equity fund on the basis of the volatility (fluctuation in value) of the “Allianz Thematica – IT – EUR” equity fund. The higher the volatility of the equity fund, the higher the proportion invested in the money market index. The lower the volatility of the equity fund, the higher the proportion invested in the fund.

Mauro Maschio, Member of the Board “Privatkundenbank” of UniCredit Bank Austria: “With the new HVB bond with 93% minimum repayment based on the ‘Thematic Strategy Index’, we are offering investors an interesting investment opportunity to invest in current trends and innovations and thereby participate in the performance of the equity fund 'Allianz Thematica - IT - EUR ' in a risk-optimised manner. Social and ecological aspects are naturally also taken into account in the investment decision.”

The closing value (reference price) of the “Thematic Strategy Index” (base value) is determined on the initial observation date, 25/10/2021. This is used to calculate the base price (93% of the reference price).

The reference prices from the first and last observation dates are then used to calculate the performance of the index. If, on the last observation date, the reference price of the index is the same as or more than the base price, redemption ensues per bond on the redemption date, 29/10/2029, at the nominal value of EUR 1000 plus positive or minus negative performance on a percentage basis multiplied by the nominal value. This means that the repayment amount on the redemption date may also be less than the nominal value of EUR 1000 but will amount to no less than EUR 930 per bond. Should the index's reference price be less than the base price on the last observation date, then redemption will be paid at the minimum redemption amount of EUR 930 per bond. Any loss is therefore limited to a maximum of 7% of the face value.

The capital is invested for a total of eight years and the bond can be sold under normal market conditions, either on the exchange or over the counter. The underlying “Thematic Strategy Index” is calculated in euro. UniCredit Bank AG is the index sponsor and index calculation agent.
