►<br />
►<br />
Hedge program in place since 2009; hedging against multiple equity indices<br />
Equity return swapped into Libor rate<br />
• Underlying earnings assume 9% equity market return; hedges carried at Fair Value with results<br />
reflected in Fair Value Items (outside of underlying earnings)<br />
►<br />
Current low Libor rates result in expected quarterly loss of ~USD 70 million per quarter<br />

is not applicable<br />
