20 19 Capital management strategy Liberty’s capital covers potential additional charges, fraud, errors, uninsured risks, etc. Stochastic modelling of embedded guarantees results in volatility (pricing policyholder put) New risk product requires more capital International accounting standards could influence ratios Liberty endeavours to find a balance between ROE/ROEV and security, and our capital takes into account our lower risk business mix Medium term CAR target levels are 1.5x – 1.7x Dividend policy introduced in line with medium term EV growth Liberty Life’s capital adequacy (prior to Capital Alliance acquisition) Comments on level of capital Pre the proposed takeover of Capital Alliance Limited (CAL) and allowing for full impairment for the BEE capital, CAR cover was 2.1x. - In line with what was communicated to the market after the BEE transaction - More than adequate allowing for the CAL deal to follow Estimated CAR post the CAL deal and dividend payments due to Liberty and CAL shareholders, would be in the range of 1.60x—1.70x by December 2005. - This assumes no additional benefits from pooling the CAR levels of the two integrated companies Impact of the BEE and CAL transactions on CAR

22 21 The subordinated, unsecured secondary capital issue We believe Liberty is the first South African insurance company to be granted FSB approval to issue regulatory capital in the form of a bond - Approval was given early in May 2005 The benefits of the instrument to Liberty include: - Enhancing regulatory capital adequacy ratios - Diversifying funding sources - Reducing the cost of capital and - This evolution is similar to the bank market where all of South Africa ’ s major banks have successfully raised regulatory capital in the form of bonds The proposed form of debt instrument is virtually identical to the secondary capital issued by all of the four major banks in South Africa
