Notice to US investors in RSA The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, which is to be made into the US, such Takeover Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and regulations, including Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the US Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1(c)/(d), if available. It may be difficult for US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal securities laws in connection with the Acquisition, since Bidco, RSA and the majority of the business and assets of Intact are located in non-US jurisdictions, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of non-US jurisdictions. US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders may not be able to xxx a non- US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement. Any securities offered as part of the Tryg Rights Issue will not be registered under the US Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in, or into, the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. The financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark (as applicable) and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US ("US GAAP"). US GAAP differs in certain significant respects from accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark. None of the financial information in this announcement has been audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States or the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Neither the Acquisition nor this announcement have been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this announcement or the merits of this Acquisition. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the US. The receipt of consideration pursuant to the Acquisition by a US holder of RSA Shares or a RSA ADR Holder may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each RSA Shareholder and RSA ADR Holder is urged to consult his or her independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to him or her. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in accordance with normal UK market practice, Bidco or its nominees or brokers (acting as agents) or their respective affiliates may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities other than pursuant to the Acquisition, at any time prior to Completion. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, will comply with all applicable rules, including the Takeover Code and Rule 14e-5 under the US Exchange Act. To the extent required by the applicable law, any information about such purchases will be disclosed on a next day basis to a Regulatory Information Service including the Regulatory News Service on the London Stock Exchange website, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

Forward-looking statements This Announcement announcement (including any information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Transaction, and other information published by Bidco, Intact, Tryg and/or RSA contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco, Intact, Tryg and/or RSA (as applicable) about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Transaction on Bidco, Intact, Tryg and RSA (including their future prospects, developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the Transaction and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not constitute 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 prospectus number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or prospectus equivalent document.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. No profit forecasts, estimates or quantified benefits statements Nothing in this announcement is intended, or is to be construed, as a profit forecast, profit estimate or quantified benefits statement for any period and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share for Intact, Tryg or RSA for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per share for the relevant company.

Notice to US investors in RSA The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, which is to be made into the US, such Takeover Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and regulations, including Section 14I and Regulation 14E under the US Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1I/(d), if available. It may be difficult for US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal securities laws in connection with the Acquisition, since Bidco, RSA and the majority of the business and assets of Intact are located in non-US jurisdictions, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of non-US jurisdictions. US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders may not be able to xxx a non- US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement. Any securities offered as part of the Tryg Rights Issue will not be registered under the US Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in, or into, the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. The financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark (as applicable) and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US ("US GAAP"). US GAAP differs in certain significant respects from accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark. None of the financial information in this announcement has been audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States or the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Neither the Acquisition nor this announcement have been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this announcement or the merits of this Acquisition. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the US. The receipt of consideration pursuant to the Acquisition by a US holder of RSA Shares or a RSA ADR Holder may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each RSA Shareholder and RSA ADR Holder is urged to consult his or her independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to him or her. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in accordance with normal UK market practice, Bidco or its nominees or brokers (acting as agents) or their respective affiliates may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities other than pursuant to the Acquisition, at any time prior to Completion. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, will comply with all applicable rules, including the Takeover Code and Rule 14e-5 under the US Exchange Act. To the extent required by the applicable law, any information about such purchases will be disclosed on a next day basis to a Regulatory Information Service including the Regulatory News Service on the London Stock Exchange website, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

Forward-looking statements This Announcement announcement (including any information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Transaction, and other information published by Bidco, Intact, Tryg and/or RSA contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco, Intact, Tryg and/or RSA (as applicable) about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Transaction on Bidco, Intact, Tryg and RSA (including their future prospects, developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the Transaction and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not constitute 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 prospectus number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or prospectus equivalent documentimplied by such forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. The financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer, which is to be made into the United States, such Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and regulations. It may be difficult for US holders of Merlin Shares and Merlin ADR Holders to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal laws, since Bidco and Merlin are located in a non-US jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non- US jurisdiction. US holders of Merlin Shares and Merlin ADR Holders may not be able to xxx a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement. US Merlin Shareholders and Merlin ADR Holders also should be aware that the transaction contemplated herein may have tax consequences in the US and, that such consequences, if any, are not described herein. US Merlin Shareholders and Merlin ADR Holders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial advisers in connection with making a decision regarding this transaction. Forward Looking Statements This Announcement announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Bidco and Merlin contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco and Merlin about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward- looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on Bidco and Merlin (including their future prospects, developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not constitute 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. Although Bidco and Merlin believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Bidco and Merlin can give no 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 prospectus number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or prospectus equivalent documentimplied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the Acquisition; 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 and Merlin 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 and Merlin 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 nor Merlin, 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.

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not constitute 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. Although Bidco and Xxxxxx believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Bidco and Xxxxxx can give no 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 prospectus number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or prospectus equivalent documentimplied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the Acquisition; 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 and Merlin 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 and Merlin 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 nor Xxxxxx, 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, neither Bidco nor Xxxxxx is under any obligation, and Bidco and Xxxxxx 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.

A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “US Exchange Act”). Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. The financial information included in this announcement and the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the Offer Document) has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom and thus may not be comparable to the financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by means of an Offer which is to be made into the United States, such an Offer would be made in compliance with all applicable US laws and regulations, including any applicable exemptions under the US Exchange Act. Such an Offer would be made in the United States by Bidco and no one else. In the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, in accordance with normal United Kingdom practice, Bidco or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of GCP outside of the US, other than pursuant to such an Offer, during the period in which such an Offer would remain open for acceptances. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase shall be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom, shall be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and shall be available on the London Stock Exchange website at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. The receipt of consideration by a US holder for the transfer of its Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme may have tax consequences in the US and such consequences, if any, are not described herein. Each Scheme Shareholder is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to them, including under applicable United States state and local, as well as overseas and other, tax laws. GCP and the General Partner are both incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Some or all of the officers and directors of the General Partner and GCP, respectively, are residents of countries other than the United States. In addition, some of the assets of the General Partner and GCP are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for US holders of Scheme Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal laws or to enforce against them a judgment of a US court predicated upon the securities laws of the United Kingdom. US holders of Scheme Shares may not be able to xxx a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgment.

A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, which is to be made into the US, such Takeover Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and regulations, including Section 14I and Regulation 14E under the US Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1I/(d), if available. It may be difficult for US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal securities laws in connection with the Acquisition, since Bidco, RSA and the majority of the business and assets of Intact are located in non-US jurisdictions, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of non-US jurisdictions. US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders may not be able to sue a non- US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement. Any securities offered as part of the Tryg Rights Issue will not be registered under the US Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in, or into, the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. The financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark (as applicable) and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US ("US GAAP"). US GAAP differs in certain significant respects from accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark.

Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the US. The receipt of consideration pursuant to the Acquisition by a US holder of RSA Shares or a RSA ADR Holder may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, in accordance with normal UK market practice, Bidco or its nominees or brokers (acting as agents) or their respective affiliates may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities other than pursuant to the Acquisition, at any time prior to Completion. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, will comply with all applicable rules, including the Takeover Code and Rule 14e-5 under the US Exchange Act. To the extent required by the applicable law, any information about such purchases will be disclosed on a next day basis to a Regulatory Information Service including the Regulatory News Service on the London Stock Exchange website, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco, Intact, Tryg and/or RSA (as applicable) about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Transaction on Bidco, Intact, Tryg and RSA (including their future prospects, developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the Transaction and other statements other than historical facts.

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 prospectus number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or prospectus equivalent documentimplied by such forward-looking statements.

The financial information included in this announcement and the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the Offer Document) has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom and thus may not be comparable to the financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Such an Offer would be made in the United States by Bidco and no one else. In the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, in accordance with normal United Kingdom practice, Bidco or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of GCP outside of the US, other than pursuant to such an Offer, during the period in which such an Offer would remain open for acceptances.

If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Takeover Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Takeover Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities. Notice to US investors in RSA The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, which is to be made into the US, such Takeover Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and regulations, including Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the US Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1(c)/(d), if available. It may be difficult for US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal securities laws in connection with the Acquisition, since Bidco, RSA and the majority of the business and assets of Intact are located in non-US jurisdictions, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of non-US jurisdictions. US holders of RSA Shares and RSA ADR Holders may not be able to sue a non- US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement. Any securities offered as part of the Tryg Rights Issue will not be registered under the US Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in, or into, the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. The financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark (as applicable) and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US ("US GAAP"). US GAAP differs in certain significant respects from accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom, Canada or Denmark. None of the financial information in this announcement has been audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States or the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Neither the Acquisition nor this announcement have been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this announcement or the merits of this Acquisition. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the US. The receipt of consideration pursuant to the Acquisition by a US holder of RSA Shares or a RSA ADR Holder may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each RSA Shareholder and RSA ADR Holder is urged to consult his or her independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to him or her. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in accordance with normal UK market practice, Bidco or its nominees or brokers (acting as agents) or their respective affiliates may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities other than pursuant to the Acquisition, at any time prior to Completion. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, will comply with all applicable rules, including the Takeover Code and Rule 14e-5 under the US Exchange Act. To the extent required by the applicable law, any information about such purchases will be disclosed on a next day basis to a Regulatory Information Service including the Regulatory News Service on the London Stock Exchange website, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. To the extent that such information is made public in the United Kingdom, this information will also be deemed to be publicly disclosed in the United States. Forward-looking statements This Announcement announcement (including any information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Transaction, and other information published by Bidco, Intact, Tryg and/or RSA contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco, Intact, Tryg and/or RSA (as applicable) about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Transaction on Bidco, Intact, Tryg and RSA (including their future prospects, developments and strategies), the expected timing and scope of the Transaction and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not constitute 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 prospectus number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or prospectus equivalent document.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. No profit forecasts, estimates or quantified benefits statements Nothing in this announcement is intended, or is to be construed, as a profit forecast, profit estimate or quantified benefits statement for any period and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share for Intact, Tryg or RSA for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per share for the relevant company.

The Return of Capital will be subject to the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules, the London Stock Exchange and the FCA. Notice to US investors in RMG The Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under the laws of England and Wales. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "US Exchange Act"). Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. The financial information included in this announcement and the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the Offer Document) has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom and thus may not be comparable to the financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. If, in the future, AssetCo exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by means of an Offer which is to be made into the United States, such an Offer would be made in compliance with all applicable US laws and regulations, including any applicable exemptions under the US Exchange Act. Such an Offer would be made in the United States by XxxxxXx and no one else. In the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, in accordance with normal United Kingdom practice, AssetCo or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of RMG outside of the US, other than pursuant to such an Offer, during the period in which such an Offer would remain open for acceptances. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase shall be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom, shall be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and shall be available on the London Stock Exchange website at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. RMG and AssetCo are both incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Some or all of the officers and directors of AssetCo and RMG, respectively, are residents of countries other than the United States. In addition, some of the assets of AssetCo and RMG are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for US holders of Scheme Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal laws or to enforce against them a judgment of a US court predicated upon the securities laws of the United Kingdom. US holders of Scheme Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment. The New AssetCo Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and such other laws. It is expected that any New AssetCo Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme would be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. Securities issued pursuant to the Scheme will not be registered under any US state securities laws and may only be issued to persons resident in a state pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the securities laws of such state.
