Investor Presentation
Several items driving ROI and EPS accretion calculations
Return / nominator would include1:
Acquired run-rate earnings, adjusted for diligence findings
Transaction perimeter equals RSA Scandinavia (net of Intact’s 50% economic co-ownership of Denmark)
Run-rate synergies
Investment / denominator would include:
Consideration for SE, NO, and Tryg’s ownership share of DK, which in total equals £4.2Bn
After-tax integration & separation costs as well as all transaction costs

EPS accretion
Pro-Forma earnings would be based on1:

Run-rate synergies
EPS accretion is calculated before any impact from intangible amortization and such impact would not affect the company’s dividend-paying capacity
Pro-Forma share count
Rights Issue discount to TERP is irrelevant from a shareholder perspective (does not affect shareholder dilution, unlike in an ABO)
Standalone EPS will need to be adjusted by the bonus factor (IAS 33), offsetting the discount to TERP of the Rights Issue

can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", "projects", "strategy", "scheduled", "estimates",
"forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should",
"would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved (or, in each case, their negative or other variations). Although Bidco, Intact, Tryg or RSA (as applicable in relation to forward-looking
statements relating to each of them or their respective affiliates) believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, none of Bidco, Intact, Tryg or RSA
(as applicable) can give assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and
depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the Transaction; the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other Conditions
on the proposed terms and schedule; as future market conditions, changes in general economic and business conditions, the behaviour of other market participants, the anticipated benefits
from the proposed transaction not being realised as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions in the countries in which Bidco, Intact, Tryg and RSA operate, weak, volatile
or illiquid capital and/or credit markets, changes in tax rates, interest rate and currency value fluctuations, the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Bidco,
Intact, Tryg and RSA operate and changes in laws or in supervisory expectations or requirements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither Bidco, Intact, Tryg, or RSA, nor any of their
respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statements in this announcement will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory
obligations, none of Bidco, Intact, Tryg, or RSA is under any obligation, and Bidco, Intact, Tryg and RSA expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
