| Baloise Holding AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous 01.02.2024 / 07:00 CET/CEST Basel, 1 February 2024. Baloise is optimising a run-off life insurance portfolio in Belgium by entering into a reinsurance transaction with RGA International, a subsidiary of Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated. The portfolio comprises around 57,000 life insurance policies with reserves of some EUR 900 million. As part of its active management of closed policy portfolios, Baloise is announcing the optimisation of a life insurance portfolio of its Belgian business unit by means of a reinsurance transaction with RGA International. The run-off portfolio comprises around 57,000 life insurance policies with reserves of some EUR 900 million. This equates to approximately 12 per cent of all reserves in the Belgian life business. The portfolio, which contains savings and pension products with an average guaranteed rate of return of 3.8 per cent, is being secured through a reinsurance transaction in which all of the portfolio’s financial and biometric parameters are transferred to the reinsurer. Baloise in Belgium remains the point of contact for customers and partners. The transaction represents the next step in Baloise’s strategy for the life insurance business of focusing on modern insurance products. This measure has no significant influence on profit nor on the solvency ratio of the Baloise Group.
