4 Page 4 ST s group insurance financial security at all stages of life ST s group insurance policies provide extra protection and support for you and your family in case of unforeseen events such as sickness, accident, unemployment or death. You decide which types of cover you need depending on your family situation. No excess is payable. The amount of cover for medical disability will be gradually reduced by 2 percentage points annually as from the year you turn 55. Accident Insurance Apart from the physical and psychological consequences, an accident may also have a detrimental effect on your financial situation. In such case, it may therefore be comforting to have a good accident insurance, which provides cover both at work and in your spare time. In addition to providing cover for medical/financial disability, ST s accident insurance includes extra elements of protection Klara krisen (coping with the crisis) and Klara olyckan (coping with the accident). As a new member, you will get the insurance free of charge for the first three months. The insurance covers medical disability; financial disability; medical, dental and travelling costs; extra expenses; cost of aids; disfiguring scars; pain and suffering; death caused by accidents; crisis counselling. The insurance does not cover private treatment, dental injuries caused by chewing or biting, injuries not requiring medical treatment or loss of earnings. Klara krisen (coping with the crisis) Covers up to 20 treatments by a psychologist or therapist, appointed by Trygg-Hansa, if the Insured experiences a crisis due to e.g. serious illness, birth trauma, involuntary unemployment, robbery or assault. Cover is provided for all family members registered and living at the same address as well as inheriting children up to 25 years of age, regard less of the address at which they are registered. Klara olyckan (coping with the accident) Pays you an amount of SEK 5,000 to cover own rehabilitation if you suffer an accident and are reported sick for at least 50% of the time over a period of more than 30 days. Cover is provided for all family members registered and living at the same address as well as inheriting children up to 25 years of age, regardless of the address at which they are registered.

5 Page 5 Children s Insurance Most children in Sweden are covered by accident insurance taken out by the local authority when they are at pre-school or at school. Most often however, cover is not provided 24 hours a day, and in case of illness, no cover is provided at all. ST s group insurance for children is a combined sickness and accident insurance covering children up to 25 years of age. You will only pay one premium for all your children and the children of your spouse/cohabiting partner who are registered at your address. The insurance provides medical disability cover; financial disability cover; critical illness cover; treatment cover; hospitalisation cover; cover for scars; cover on death. In the event of accidents, the insurance also covers: medical, dental and travelling costs, extra expenses, cost of aids, crisis counselling (also in cases where the injury is caused by a family member). The insurance does not cover the following: certain types of illness that have their onset during the first two years of the period of insurance (see the section Important facts about group insurance ), private medical and dental treatment, dental injuries caused by chewing or biting or injuries not requiring medical treatment. Senior Accident Insurance If you are about to retire, it may be wise to take out a Senior Accident Insurance for the remainder of your life. You can take out the insurance if you are between 55 and 66, have a notification address in Sweden and have previously been covered by ST s group insurance. The sum insured will not be gradually reduced as you get older. The insurance covers medical disability; medical, dental and travelling costs: extra expenses; cost of aids; disfiguring scars; death caused by accident. The insurance does not cover private medical or dental treatment, dental injuries caused by chewing or biting, or illness.

7 Page 7 Important facts about group insurance What you should bear in mind to obtain the right cover If you or any co-insureds have provided incomplete or inaccurate information in the health declaration when the insurance was taken out, cover may be reduced or refused. If you have caused the injury or damage intentionally or by gross negligence, or if the accident is linked to the fact that you were under the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicating substances, drugs, narcotics or improper use of medicine, cover may be reduced or refused. Continuation option If you terminate your membership of ST or if the group agreement expires, you have the right, as an insured group member, to arrange for continuation of the insurance within three months of such termination or expiry without producing any new evidence of health. This option is only available if you have been covered by the group insurance for the past six months. The continuation option is subject to special conditions for any coinsureds, e.g. in connection with divorce. Waiver of premium As a permanent employed group member, you have a right to a waiver of premium in case of involuntary unemployment for an uninterrupted period of at least six months. If you, as a group member, are granted a waiver of premium due to involuntary unemployment, the premiums for any insurance policies taken out by any co-insureds will also be waived. However, the waiver of premium due to involuntary unemployment will not apply in case of unemployment on the part of any co-insureds. Special conditions apply with regard to the maximum period and extent of such waiver of premium. Extended period of cover If your group insurance is terminated in the event that you no longer satisfy the conditions under the group agreement, cover will be extended for a maximum period of three months. This option is only available if you have been covered by the group insurance for the past six months. The purpose of the extended period of cover is that you will have time to take out a new insurance, e.g. through a new group insurance or by exercising the continuation option. The extended period of cover also applies to any co-insureds subject to the same conditions.

The cancellation period runs from the day you receive your policy documents. Please contact us on +46 (0) if you wish to exercise your right of cancellation. In that case, the insurance will be cancelled from the date of inception. If you have already paid for your insurance, the premium paid will be returned to you. If you are not satisfied Please contact us and we will do our best to resolve the matter. If this proves to be impossible, you may request that the case be considered by Trygg-Hansa s insurance board, the Personal Insurance Board or the National Board for Consumer Disputes. You can also bring the matter before an ordinary court of law. The agreement is governed by Swedish law. In the event of any dispute with Trygg-Hansa over the amount of cover, you can make a claim for compensation under the Legal Expenses Insurance, which e.g. forms part of your home contents insurance. This applies regardless of whether the home contents insurance is taken out with Trygg-Hansa or with another insurance company.
