4 A practical guide to your insurance needs F Life a c il it Cover Retrenchment Benefit y P Cash back ro t ec Inability Benefit t io Cover n e B n Top-up fi e t The Living Facility will pay a lump sum on your death. But you also benefit by getting money back if you stay alive you can choose to get either 10% of your premiums back every three years or the whole insured amount if you are alive at the end of the term! The Inability Benefit protects you against incapacity. Many people don't realise that becoming incapacitated will seriously jeopardise their financial situation - not only will their income cease because they are unable to work, but they will also have additional expenses, such as medical bills. It is therefore wise to cover yourself against this unforeseen eventuality. The Cover Top-up Benefit is automatically included in your Living Facility and allows you to increase your cover and cash back benefits without evidence of health. The Facility Protection Benefit can be included if you would like us to pay your future contributions in case you become incapacitated. We will also pay your premiums for three months if you are retrenched.

5 How does the FNB Living Facility work? How do I get cash back? You have three options: 1. The Living Bonus Facility You can get 10% of your premiums back every three years, for as long as the Facility remains in force. For example, if your monthly premium at the start of a three-year cycle is R350, you will receive R1 324 back in three years' time - tax-free! 2. The Living Premium Facility You get back all the premiums you have paid during the term of the policy, which effectively means that you get life cover for free! This amount will be paid to you tax-free! 3. The Living Future Facility You can insure your life for an amount of, for example R1.5 million, and you get the whole insured amount back at the end of your chosen term - taxfree. For example, if you are now 30 years old, need R1.5 million life cover for 20 years and you choose this option, we will pay you the R1,5million if you die or if you live to your 50th birthday - guaranteed!

6 The Living Bonus Facility You can choose to insure your life for a specific term or for your whole life. Term cover works especially well by providing security for a home loan or other forms of fixed-term debt. You choose the insured amount, e.g. R1,5 million, and the term e.g. 20 years. If you die during the term, we pay out the insured amount and it can be used to settle the outstanding bond - leaving your family free of debt. In addition you will get 10% of your premiums back (Living Bonus) every three years while you are alive during the term of the facility, or until you die! This money is tax-free in your hands! Illustration of future Living Bonuses: The table below shows the future Living Bonuses that will be paid to you if you have not claimed or missed a premium during the preceding 3 years. The Living Bonus is based on a starting premium of R350 per month. Living Bonus after 3 years R1 324 Living Bonus after 6 years R1 533 Living Bonus after 9 years R1 774 Living Bonus after 12 years R2 054

7 The Living Premium Facility With the Living Premium Facility you choose the term of your Facility. The Living Premium Facility will repay all the premiums you have paid during this term. This means that you have been covered for free! Example You insure your life for R and pay R * in premiums during the 20 year term. If you are alive at the end of this 20 year term, you will receive the amount of R tax free. But if something should happen to you and you die or become disabled, your dependants will still receive the insured amount of R you can t lose! It is free life cover! * Each person s premium will differ according to his or her risk profile.

8 The Living Future Facility The FNB Living Future Benefit is truly Life Cover for the Living. You choose the term of your Facility. The Living Future Facility will pay the whole insured amount if you die during this term. If you survive your selected term, you will receive the whole insured amount that you selected at the beginning of the term. This is called the Living Future Benefit. The Living Future Benefit is tax-free in your hands and you can use the money for anything. You can buy a car, travel or even buy a house! You can even use this money to supplement your retirement funds. Example: You have just been granted a single credit facility, registered for R1,5 million over a 20 year term. You protect your family in case of your death or inability by taking out a Living Future Facility. This means that they will be able to pay off the outstanding debt if you die or become incapacitated. If you live for the next 20 years and there is still an amount owing on the single credit facility, you can use your Living Future Benefit to settle the debt. You now have a facility that: will pay out the whole insured amount if you die, which means that your family is looked after - tax-free! will pay out the whole insured amount if you don't die but live to the end of the term - tax-free!

9 Inability Benefit The Inability Benefit pays you a lump sum if you become incapacitated during the term of the Facility. You choose the size of your inability cover at the start of your facility. The benefit will be paid on any of the following events: Loss of hearing Loss of vision Loss of speech Cancer Loss of limbs Paraplegia Muscular dystrophy Heart bypasses Surgery to the aorta Heart failure Kidney failure Respiratory failure Organ transplants Stroke Permanent confinement to a wheel chair, or becoming bedridden Terminal illness

10 Retrenchment Benefit If you are retrenched, we will pay your premiums for three months. After the three months you will have to resume premium payments in order to keep your benefits intact. You will not lose any Living Bonuses and your Living Future Benefit will remain unaffected under the Living Future Facility Benefit Cover Top-up Benefit Your FNB Living Facility has a built-in Cover Top-up Benefit. This allows you to increase your level of cover every year without having to undergo any medical examinations or answer any medical questions. Both your life cover and your inability cover (if selected) will increase by your chosen percentage each year. Facility Protection Benefit The Facility Protection Benefit will pay your future premiums if: you become incapacitated, or you are retrenched If you become incapacitated during the term of your Facility, the Facility Protection Benefit will continue to pay your premiums for the remainder of your chosen term.

11 Do I have to go for medical tests? The FNB Living Facility does not require you to go for extensive medical examinations. In most cases we will ask you a few medical questions over the telephone and make the underwriting decision based on this information. If you currently have a fully underwritten, standard rates policy with another insurer that is less than two years old, and your health has not changed since then, you are guaranteed acceptance under the Living Facility, for up to double the life cover qualifying policy. When does my cover start? Your life cover will start when we receive the first premium. Are any benefits guaranteed? Yes, all our benefits are guaranteed for life. In order to keep the starting premium as low as possible, the premium will increase by 5% each year.
