1 1. Introduction to is the association of the customer members of Achmea B.V. and its subsidiaries (hereafter jointly referred to as: Achmea). is the result of cooperative mergers of a number of mutual insurance companies, private health insurers ( bovenbouwers ) and national health insurance funds, whose activities are placed with the different entities of Achmea. In that sense, the Vereniging is the embodiment of the cooperative signature of Achmea and in all matters this fact is of key importance in determining the aims of the Vereniging and the way in which these are put into practice. The Vereniging is in fact the voice of the customer. Objects of pursuant to the Articles: To do everything in its power to safeguard the continuity of the Achmea Group. According to these Articles, the Achmea Group means all of (1) the Vereniging itself and any natural persons and legal entities associated in a group with the Vereniging, (2) Achmea B.V. with registered offices in Zeist, (3) the legal entities and partnerships associated in a group with Achmea B.V. and (4) the legal entity established according to its Articles in Amsterdam: the Onderlinge Waarborgmaatschappij Molest Risico W.A. that is a member of the Vereniging. To promote the interests of the customer members. To participate and otherwise take an interest in, to finance and manage other undertakings, of any kind, and warrant the debts of others, and anything connected with or conducive to the above. The Articles of the Vereniging define who are customer members as follows: "All natural persons who have reached the age of at least eighteen years and all legal entities that purchase a product or service from a legal entity or partnership established in the Netherlands belonging to the Achmea Group, become customer members of the Vereniging upon entering into the agreement for the provision of services or products unless upon or following the entering into of the agreement, the party purchasing the services or products indicates in writing that this person does not wish to become a customer member." As of 31 December 2012 has in total, both directly and through the Trust Office Foundation Achmea, 61.6% of the voting rights in the General Meeting of Shareholders of Achmea and 65.3% of the dividend rights in common shares in Achmea and is therefore the largest shareholder of Achmea. Structure of The statutory boards of the Vereniging are the Meeting of Voting Members, the Council of Members and the Board of Directors and the Vereniging thereby has a tiered structure. The Vereniging holds a Meeting of voting Members at least once each year. This is the meeting in which the Board of Directors submits proposals for the appointment of members of the Council of Members for approval to the voting members. Voting members are natural persons and legal entities that are customer members and that following registration have been accepted as a voting member. Information about the procedure according to which customer members can register as voting members is available to everyone via the website The Vereniging therefore has two types of member, voting members and customer members. Voting members and non-voting members are not liable for any shortage with the liquidation of the Vereniging. 1

2 The Council of Members or the general meeting of the Vereniging consists of representatives appointed by the voting members. The Council of Members is, as far as possible, a true reflection of the clientele of Achmea. The Council of Members has a maximum of one hundred members. The Council of Members consists of members acting as natural persons and members acting on behalf of legal entities that are customer members. The formal voting on the appointment of members of the Council of Members takes place during the Meeting of Voting Members. Apart from the voting members, the members of the Board and the members of the Council are also present at this meeting. By not just restricting this meeting to formal decision-making, but by also giving an explanation of the strategy and the annual figures of Achmea, the desired involvement of the voting members was complied with. In its meetings, the Council of Members considers the annual report of the Board of Directors concerning the business of the Vereniging and the management undertaken. The Council of Members is also required to approve the financial statements and discharge the Board of Directors for the policy implemented. The Board of Directors requires approval from the Council of Members for a number of important resolutions for example relating to the encumbering of movable property and property rights and in respect of cooperation agreements and an amendment of the statutes. The Council of Members has the final word on entering into mergers. The meetings of the Council of Members are also attended by the members of the Board of the Vereniging and the members of the Board of Directors of Achmea. Depending on the topics on the agenda, the Board of Directors provides an explanation of the policy pursued and to be pursued. The members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Council of Members. Only natural persons can become members of the Board of Directors. Board membership is not compatible with membership of the Council of Members. The Board of Directors deals with issues that relate to the progress of the policy of the Vereniging. For a number of resolutions, the Board of Directors requires the approval of the Council of Members. The Board of Directors has appointed a chairman and two deputy chairmen from among its members. The chairman and the deputy chairman of the Board of Directors of Achmea are always present at the board meeting as observers. The same applies for the chairman of the Supervisory Board of Achmea. The Vereniging has two advisory committees: the Remuneration Committee and the Appointment Advisory Committee. In its current composition, the Vereniging reflects to a considerable extent the result of a large number of cooperative mergers. This is reflected in the composition of the Board of Directors and the Council of Members. Many of the members of these bodies come from administrative bodies of the companies that have joined the Vereniging over the years. Furthermore, in recent years members have also joined that were not related to a merger partner. The Board of Directors and the Council of Members are assisted by a director and a secretary and also by a small supporting staff of the Vereniging. 2

3 2. Report for the 2012 financial year 2012, The International Year of the Cooperative To stress the importance of the cooperative both in the Western world and elsewhere, the United Nations has declared 2012 the International Year of the Cooperative. With the theme year, this international organization wants to draw global attention not only to the success, but especially to the value of the cooperative. In many countries, cooperatives contribute to the reduction of poverty and unemployment and are therefore of great importance for the general economic development. Also, this form of enterprise expresses the call for an alternative and the concern of many that unbridled shareholder capitalism will lead to a suboptimal result of the economic process. A concern that became manifest during and after the credit crisis: cooperative companies scored better than quoted companies; short term profit gain is matched against the long term objectives and a solid a solid financial policy. It is especially within the cooperative that all stakeholders perform best as part of a balanced whole. Also, this form of enterprise offers, more than others, the opportunity to focus on ethical trading and sustainability aspects; after all, these are often already in the cooperatives genes. The cooperative has gained in importance and topicality in the last decade. especially after the beginning of the crisis in Unlike other legal forms, a cooperative brings together, consumers, citizens, professionals, entrepreneurs and (public) institutions. They often have a common interest, an economic need to cooperate. In our country, the cooperative has also been successful in the past, especially in agriculture and horticulture and the financial services sector. However, in recent years a tendency is noticeable that also in other branches of industry, but also with specific groups such as the self-employed, the interest in the cooperative as type of enterprise is increasing. The other types of added value of the cooperative are not in the maximization of profit, but rather in offering the members the best product at a good price. Four core concepts form the cornerstones of the cooperative: solidarity, responsibility, continuity and trust. Cooperatives are also characterized by a strategic focus on the members interests, are often locally or regionally rooted and have an organizational structure aimed at cooperation. Many of the above elements are also reflected in our cooperative group. Not only are all our customers members, but guaranteeing the continuity of Achmea is included in our Articles. Almost all the shares of Achmea are in the cooperative hands of (65,3%) en the Rabobank (29,2%). Where there are no listed shares in circulation, all this provides the opportunity to really take the customers interests to heart. Membership policy In the year under review an intensification has taken place of the discussions about the future membership policy of the Vereniging. After taking stock of the views that exist about, the contours of the future membership policy were discussed during two workshops at which the membership policy and identity of the Vereniging were central. Apart from board members, members of the Council of Members and voting members these workshops also included the participation of the Supervisory Board, the Board of Directors and several members of the senior management of Achmea. A direct result of these workshops was the formulation of the higher (why do we exist?) and the daring (what is our biggest challenge?) objective of with the central 3

4 question of which way the Vereniging can strengthen the (cooperative) identity of Achmea. The higher objective is thereby specified as: From a cooperative ideology we represent the collective customers interest, we ensure the continuity of the company and we fulfil our social responsibility. This led to the following daring objective: The association of the most involved policy holders. In the second half of the year the discussion surrounding the membership policy has acquired further shape by the setting up of a Membership Policy steering committee. Both members of the and Achmea are represented in the steering committee on the basis of equal representation. Furthermore a feedback group has been set up with a representative cross-section from the Council of Members of the Vereniging. The intention of this feedback group is to check the results of the discussions from the steering committee against a broader body within. Both the members of the steering committee and the members of the feedback group act as ambassadors to involve members of the Vereniging in the revitalization of the membership policy. The objective of the steering committee is the formulation of both a spot on the wall (2015) and a spot on the horizon (2020). This brings up the questions what do we want to accomplish with the membership policy/membership, how does position itself in relation to the Achmea brand and the labels and what is the most optimal customer segmentation. For example, ideas have been suggested to distinguish between the private and business customers and to look at the segmentation of customer groups and to choose, by customer group, for an individual approach of customer influence on the company. In addition, the Membership Policy steering committee has occupied itself by mapping out all existing forms of customer involvement within Achmea. At the same time, we examined in which business units customer influence is even less developed. Although the development phase has not been completed and the formal decision making has yet to take place, the aim is focused on connecting to these customer representations when composing the Board of Directors and the Council of Member in the coming years. After all, by making use of this cascade structure the legitimacy of for instance the Council of Members as a representative cross-section of the customer members is increased. Member activities Just as in previous years, in 2012 the Vereniging organized some well visited theme meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss an Achmea related theme based on some presentations given by experts. Furthermore, we organized for the first time an Onthe-way-home meeting. also works together with Achmea in Volgens Nederland (According to people in the Netherlands). Moreover, the first pilot with member benefits was started. On 26 April 2012 the first thematic meeting of the year under review took place in the Achmea Congress Centre in Zeist with the theme "Being Strong Together! The strength of cooperative entrepreneurship. In this meeting the cooperative form of enterprise was central. The essential points of the cooperative were clearly explained via various presentations. There was also a great deal of attention for self-employed persons. The cooperative appears to be a suitable form of enterprise in which the self-employed and small entrepreneurs can unite without losing their own identity and independence. 4

5 The second thematic session was held on 4 December 2012 in the head office of Zilveren Kruis Achmea in Leiden. There was every reason for this, since the subject was care related: A Healthy Choice!. This meeting not only concerned what people can do themselves to live healthy, but the meaning of new technological developments was also discussed. For example, the Quantified Self was gone into in more detail: developments on the intersection of technology, sport/exercise and nutrition. In this way in our information society increasingly more insight can be obtained into the latest possibilities to monitor lifestyle and condition. A participant in the Obese programme also gave some insight into his battle against excess weight. Apart from these meetings organized by, they also participate in the Achmea campaign According to people in the Netherlands started in the autumn of During this campaign, which is a continuation of the Convention of Achlum from 2011, Achmea will engage, through an interactive platform, in discussions with Dutch people about important issues in our society. Not only experts will speak and offer possible solutions, but anyone who wants to be heard can join in the discussion. Because by talking to each other we get closer to solutions for complex issues. The involvement between the Vereniging and Achmea is further strengthened by the first On-the-way-home meeting which was held on 7 February 2012 with the theme Mandatory pension plan. In total about ten people from the Board of Directors, Board of the Vereniging and Council of Members entered into discussion with each other. These meetings have the purpose of starting in-depth discussions about a topical and complex subject about which Achmea will possibly adopt a position. During the year under review progress was also booked in the area of member benefits. For example, Zilveren Kruis Achmea has started a waiting list mediation pilot for Centraal Beheer Achmea accounts. In 2012 we have continued to develop the presence of on the Social Networks Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. The purpose of this is to get into discussion with our customers via these media. This specifically occurs in the run-up to the theme meetings. The responses and comments from the social media are used as input for the discussions during these meetings. In addition, these media offer an excellent platform to still continue discussions on-line on the subject after the meeting. This all led to having more than 10,000 likes on Facebook at the end of 2012, several hundred followers on Twitter and that around three million people participated in a discussion, or responded to a poll about a current social theme. It is clear that the use of social media has has created more awareness of the Vereniging among the general public. Cooperative merger with De Friesland Zorgverzekeraar It was known during 2011 that the Dutch Competition Authority (Nma) had no objections against the proposed cooperative merger of with De Friesland Zorgverzekeraar (medical insurance company). The legal merger took place at the end of 2011, whereupon the company was incorporated by the Vereniging, against payment, into Achmea. The financial settlement of this transaction occurred in two instalments, for which the consideration for the contribution of the activities of De Friesland Zorgverzekeraar took place partly in cash and partly in Achmea shares. Change of external accountant During the financial year the Vereniging changed external accountant from Ernst & Young to PriceWaterhouseCoopers. A tightening of the regulation (COS 600) formed the basis for this 5

6 change The external accountants could no longer issue an approved audit report for the Vereniging, without an extensive audit at Achmea, because almost 99.4 % of the balance of the Vereniging was not directly audited by them. Only if the responsible accountant has had sufficient involvement during the audit, may he make use of the activities of the other accountant. A derived audit was therefore no longer satisfactory. Therefore, after a period of seven years was required to bid farewell to Ernst & Young. Administrative Affairs The Board of the Vereniging convened twice in 2012, on 9 March and 14 September. Apart from the regular financial reporting, the Vereniging reflected in its meetings on the final report of the Remuneration Committee and the progress of the membership policy. Furthermore the board has agreed with the setting up of an Appointment Advisory Committee which advises the Board with regard to (re)appointments within and by. Council of Members The Council of Members met twice in the year under review, on 3 April and 9 November. Apart from the regular financial reporting, important topics discussed during the meetings were the final report of the Remuneration Committee and the progress of the membership policy. Furthermore the Council of Members has approved a change of the external accountant from Ernst & Young to PriceWaterhouseCoopers. During the annual information session of the Council of Members on 13 June 2012 in Leiden the members were extensively informed about the development in the area of care. In addition, an account was given of the recent developments within the Stichting Achmea Slachtoffer en Samenleving (SASS), a foundation that focuses on the improvement of the position of the victim in society. Following on from this a presentation was given of a longitudinal study RADAR, supported by the SASS, which looks at the links between perpetration, victimization and juvenile delinquency. The activities of the SASS are made financially possible by. Furthermore the information session offered the possibility to the members of Board of Directors and the Council of Members to become further acquainted with several departments of this new location of the healthcare insurance companies of Achmea, which opened in Also in 2012, prior to the meetings of the Council of Members, two educational sessions for the Board of Directors and the Council of Members took place. On 3 April a workshop was held on the subject The annual accounts, what do the figures say?. On 9 November a presentation was given by and a discussion was held with the Achmea Ethics Committee, an advisory committee of the Board of Directors of Achmea. The outcome of this meeting was that in the future on behalf of a representative will also participate in this committee. Meeting of Voting Members The Meeting of Voting Members convened once in the year under review on 3 April. The (re)appointment of members of the Council of Members took place during this meeting. During this meeting the annual accounts of Achmea and the annual report of Vereniging Achmea were also explained. Profit and losses 6

The costs of the Vereniging, apart from the compensation for the Board of Directors and Council of Members, consist in particular of the operational costs of the supporting secretariat (in which are also included the costs of the member policy) The interest charges on the loan taken out in 2010, originally of 700M Euros, amounted in the year under review to 24.1M Euros. Effective from 2012 a start has been made with the payment of the annual annuity of 90M. Taking the aforementioned into account, the statement of profits and losses shows on balance a positive result of 268.5M Euros. This result is incorporated in the balance sheet drawn up at the end of It is of importance for the association to pay off the loan taken out in 2010 within the agreed period. In 2012 the payment component of the annuity amounted to 77.4M whereby the outstanding debt decreased from 696.5M Euros to 619.1M Euros as at the end of Personal details During the year under review the Vereniging has said farewell to Mr M.J.J. Creemers, with regard to the start of his activities as CFO/Finance Manager Achmea Australia. After the departure of Mr T. Loonstra in 2010, Mr Creemers has undertaken the directional responsibility for the financial policy and the financial reporting of the Vereniging. The Vereniging is very grateful to Mr Creemers for the meticulous manner in which he has managed the finances and has reported on this during the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Council of Members. The activities of Mr Creemers at have been taken over by Ms S. Spek. She will perform these activities along with her main task as director of Finance, Risk and Chain Management of the Direct Distribution Division. Outlook In the coming year, the emphasis will be on developing the revitalization of the membership policy of the Vereniging. It is of importance that this task not only rests on the shoulders of, but is also supported by the Achmea company. Since both parties have a strong awareness that this has to be done for our customers, being our members, this is in fact a cooperative in the true sense of the word.
