Ageas prepares for Solvency II regulation

01- 06 : Start Solvency II / QIS 1• A 3-pillar risk based approach,

harmonised across Europe• Two levels – a “Target” Standard Capital

Requirement (SCR) and absolute Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR)

• QIS 1: tested level of prudence in technical provisions

06 : QIS 2• Tested first version of

solo Standard Capital Requirement (SCR) standard approach

70’s - 90’s : Solvency I• A simple factor-based

approach capital requirements based on accounting valuations and volumes

07 : QIS 3• Tested refinements of Standard

approach – measure financial impact on SII balance sheet

• Tested first version of Group SCR: group diversification and eligible elements of capital

08-mid 09 : QIS 4• Solvency II Directive and

CEIOPS advice on implementing measure

• Test and refinements of standards approach (calculations and calibrations)

10 : QIS 5• Test focusing on the full SII

framework – identify areas for enhancement (processes, procedures, infrastructure, other)

• Further refinements of standard approach, stresses and calibrations, own funds and technical provisiosn

Solvency II programme management in place following a defined internal implementation plan towards Solvency II compliance

Participation in previous QIS and impact of CEIOPS advise on implementing measures assessment completed using the QIS 4 framework.

Impact of QIS 5 under study, results to be communicated to regulators by Nov 15

Still significant uncertainty around the Standard Capital Requirements standard approach, but so far all indications show a positive capital position under Solvency II.

Net-of-tax valuation call option on BNP Paribas shares estimated at EUR 759 mio; Value as per 30/06/10

Ageas announced the decision to liquidate sub-holding Fortis Brussels SA/NV (now Brussels Liquidation Holding)

As a result deferred tax liability of EUR 257 mio on value call option can be offset by deferred tax assets of the same amount of ageas SA/NV

Taxation

Ageas has opted to move to a gradual exercise strategy in accordance with a disciplinedmethodology over the contractually foreseen exercise period (from 10/10/10 til 09/10/16)

Decision now taken to move to a gradual exercise, in order to minimise the impact of the impliedvolatility of the shares on the value of the call option ► use volatility without a 7%-size-discount

Exercise strategy

Implied volatility (consensus) up from 27% to 39%* Dividend yield up from 3.565% to 5.208% Strike price unchanged at EUR 66.672 per share EUR 1,085 mio total value option as at 30 June 2010► 30% haircut maintained ► EUR 759 mio Volatility +5% ► total value option +22%
