a combination of internal and external<br />

studies (consulting firms, research)<br />

integration and cost reduction program are<br />

also based on progress made to date<br />

across various initiatives<br />

a combination of internal and external<br />

sources<br />

studies while internal growth plans and<br />

impact from efficiency initiatives have<br />

been based on management/high level<br />

business case assumptions<br />

- Equity Markets growth assumptions are<br />

based on internal studies from DB<br />

Research<br />

- Other business growth and efficiency<br />

assumptions are based on business<br />

management input validated by internal<br />

independent function<br />

analysis of competitors and trend<br />

analyses within PCAM<br />
