5.2.3 PRINCIPAL FUTURE INVESTMENTS<br />

SCOR's success relies on the consistent implementation of the four principles on which its strategic plans, Dynamic Lift<br />

and now, Strong Momentum, are based, i.e. a high diversification, a robust capital shield, a strong franchise and a<br />

controlled <strong>risk</strong> appetite. Success in implementing such a strategy requires that, at regular intervals, the Group assesses<br />

whether opportunities which may present themselves relating to the optimization of its business portfolio via acquisitions<br />

and cessions and which would be likely to deliver value for its shareholders are in line with this consistent set of<br />

principles. Thus, the closing of such operations should only occur within this consistent framework, for the best interest<br />

of SCOR SE.<br />
