Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR, transmitted by
DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allianz SE has decided to launch a share buy-back program with a volume of
up to EUR 3bn as part of a previously announced plan to return unused
capital from the group's external growth budget from the period 2014 to
2016. The buy-back program is envisaged to start on February 17, 2017, and
to last no longer than 12 months. Allianz SE will cancel all repurchased
shares.
The full implementation of the share buy-back program as scheduled is
subject to maintaining a sustainable Solvency II ratio above 160 percent.
Furthermore, the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board have decided
to simplify Group capital management to make it more flexible. Going
forward, Allianz will return capital to its shareholders on a flexible
basis, rather than following a formulaic approach. Return of capital to
shareholders will no longer be coupled to the unused budget for external
growth and a three-year timeframe.
