• High and stable dividends
• Pay-out ratio over time of at least 70% of profit after tax
• Expected future capital need taken into account when determining the size of the dividend
• Excess capital above the targeted capitalisation will be paid out over time
• S&P ‘A’ rating requirement is expected to be the most binding capital requirement going forward
Flexibility to • Support organic growth and small
acquisitions not financed through retained profits
• Stabilise dividend over time • Meet regulatory uncertainty

Solvency margin:
Figures as at 30.06.2016. The Solvency II regulation is principle based. Calculations are based on Gjensidige’s understanding of the Solvency II regulation and how it is implemented in Norway, including the current view of the Norwegian FSA on the guarantee provision. If the Guarantee provision had been treated as solvency capital, the Group’s PIM and SF solvency margins would be 191% and 151%, respectively. The figures related to the S&P rating model are based on Gjensidige’s interpretations of the model. Total comprehensive income is included in the calculations, minus a formulaic dividend pay-out ratio of 70 per cent of net profit.
• Capital buffers well within risk appetite
• Group solvency margin targets - Target SF: 115-140%
- Target PIM: 120-175%
• Rating surplus NOK 5.2bn lower than regulatory - Additional buffer
• Improved capital efficiency through potential Restricted Tier 1 issuance

Reinsurance programme limits downside risk

• Reinsurance is purchased for protection of the Group’s capital position and is primarily a capital management tool
• Normal maximum retention per loss occurrence / event is NOK 100m
• The retention for weather-related events is NOK 200m for the first event, reducing towards NOK 100m for subsequent events within the same year
• Maximum retention level per loss occurrence / event hitting more than one reinsurance programme is NOK 420m including any reinstatement premium
• Gjensidige considers additional coverage if this is appropriate considering internal modelling and capital requirement

Solvency II eligible capital overview
Eligible capital and Solvency capital requirement (SCR) Solvency II limits on capital
21
• Risk based capital requirement with three tiers of basic own-funds capital; 1, 2 and 3
• Tier 1 has the highest quality and must account for at least 50% of SCR
• Tier 1 capital may consist of both unrestricted- (i.e. equity) and restricted Tier 1 own-funds (i.e. deeply subordinated capital).
• Restricted Tier 1 can make up at most 20% of Tier 1 own-fund items.
• Tier 2 own-funds can cover up to 50% of SCR and maximum 20% of the minimum capital requirement (MCR)
• The Minimum capital requirement (MCR) will be in the range 20-45% of SCR.

• Issuance of a Restricted Tier 1 (RT1) own-fund item will represent a new class of capital in between Gjensidige’s unrestricted Tier 1- and Tier 2 own-fund items
• A RT1 instrument would rank before unrestricted Tier 1 capital, but will be subordinated to all Tier 2 own-fund items
• The distinguishing feature of a RT1 item is that it is loss absorbing before all unrestricted Tier 1 capital is gone
• A trigger event is when the capital ratio (SCR and/or MCR)
of the issuer falls below a pre-defined level

S&P Rating Outlook: Stable
27
“S&P Global Ratings' stable outlook on Gjensidige reflects our view that the insurer will maintain capital adequacy at the 'A' level, according to our risk-based capital model. We also expect Gjensidige's competitive position to remain strong and its exposure to investment risk to remain stable” “Our assessment of Gjensidige's enterprise risk management (ERM) and management and governance as strong results in a one-notch upward adjustment to the 'a-' anchor. The insurer financial strength and counterparty credit ratings on Gjensidige are therefore 'A'.”
