AUSTRIAN POST REACHES AGREEMENT WITH THE REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA TO PAY
COMPENSATION FOR SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS RELATING TO CIVIL SERVANTS FOR THE
YEARS 1996 TO 2008

Vienna, 11 September 2026 – Austrian Post has reached an agreement with
the Austrian Finanzprokuratur, acting as the legal representative of the
Republic of Austria (Austrian Federal Chancellery), to make a payment of
47.8 million euros to the Republic of Austria. This payment obviates the
need for legal proceedings regarding the amount of Austrian Post’s
obligations to make compensation payments to the Republic of Austria for
contributions to the Family Burden Equalisation Fund
(Familienlastenausgleichsfond – FLAF) and regarding any obligation to
reimburse Austrian Post for the period from 1 May 1996 to 31 May 2008.

The background to this is a ruling by the Austrian Administrative Court in
2015, according to which Austrian Post and its legal predecessor were
under no statutory obligation to pay the relevant contributions from the
payroll to the Family Burden Equalisation Fund (FLAF) on behalf of the
civil servants assigned to it. As a result of this ruling, the Austrian
Federal Finance Court reimbursed Austrian Post for contributions already
paid between 2015 and 2019. In this context, however, Austrian Post had
obligations to pay potential compensation to the Republic of Austria.
Until recently, there were differing legal interpretations between the
Republic of Austria and Austrian Post regarding the amount of these
payments.

Austrian Post had already made a provision for the potential compensation
payment since 2018. The agreement reached now falls well within the
anticipated range, provides legal certainty and resolves the matter
conclusively.
