19 How do we manage the business today recap Annual Group financial targets are set, based on: IFRS operating earnings Return on group equity value adjusted for short term fluctuations in investment returns SIP return vs. a medium-term benchmark Business unit targets are directly linked to the achievement of group targets Longer term targets are based on an average return on group equity value All targets are referenced to the group cost of equity currently est. at L + 4% IFRS operating earnings target referenced to minimum ROE target of 19% Financial targets are supplemented by specific Key Performance Indicator s (KPI s) Management within risk appetite a gate to the incentive scheme Financial return targets are clear
20 Risk appetite framework definitions and concepts - recap Risk appetite gap Risk target gap (the buffer) Risk capacity Risk appetite Risk target Risk profile Risk profile is the amount of risk taken by the organisation which management aims to optimise Risk capacity is an externally imposed limit on the maximum amount of risk the organisation may take Risk appetite is set by the Board based on their utility not to breach risk capacity Risk target is set by management based on their utility not to breach appetite Concept Risk capacity Risk appetite Risk target Risk profile Definition The maximum amount of risk the organisation is able to support in pursuit of its business objectives The maximum amount of risk the organisation is prepared to accept in pursuit of its business objectives The optimal amount of risk the organisation aims to take in pursuit of its business objectives A measure of the amount of risk to which the organisation is exposed at a specific point in time All return targets in Liberty are set within the overall risk appetite as a constraint
21 How do we set, manage and monitor risk appetite - recap Regulatory Capital Comprehensive earnings Current coverage of the sum of the regulatory capital requirements within the Group should not fall below 1.50 In a 1-in-10 year event, annual comprehensive earnings, normalised for the BEE transaction, should not fall by more risk appetite Economic capital Embedded Value Available financial resources should be sufficient to cover the internal economic capital coverage requirement calculated at a 99.5% confidence level In a 1-in-10 year event, embedded value, normalised for the BEE transaction, should not fall by more than the set risk appetite limit We set and monitor risk based on four dimensions two are capital based
22 Return metrics and risk appetite re-calibration We have recently completed a risk appetite survey which was used to update our risk appetite and risk target calibrations We have much greater clarity on SAM requirements and approved revised risk appetite limits for our capital ratios under SAM these have however not changed substantially We are refining our performance metrics with greater emphasis on capital efficiency and cash generation Greater clarity on capital requirements in respect of SAM
23 Capital position Liberty Holdings Rm IFRS June 2014 June 2013 IFRS shareholder funds 18 351 15 978 BEE preference shares 842 940 BEE normalised shareholders funds 19 193 16 938 Regulatory capital Shareholder assets 14 987 11 726 Regulatory capital requirement (5 267) (5 090) Surplus above minimum requirement 9 720 6 636 Target minimum capital coverage ratio 1.50 1.50 Capital buffer 7 087 4 091 Capital ratio at period end 2.85 2.30 Regulatory capital increased by R3.2bn in the last year assisted by R1bn debt

25 Capital ratios We are targeting higher capital ratios in support of our corporate business Part of the growth in reported capital requirements was not driven by normal business growth Capital ratios have been influenced by: Credit capital attributed to large reinsurance contracts Existence of some longer term assets warehoused by shareholder on behalf of policyholders Growth in our credit business Substantial work has been done on both the modelling of existing CAR ratios and in respect of SAM requirements which should improve reported capital ratios going forward We are comfortable with our progress on capital ratios in respect of the current regime and future capital requirements under SAM
26 Future developments The delivery of our group strategy is expected to deliver a more capital efficient business over time: Asset management / fee based businesses Increased focus on short term insurance, group risk and umbrella funds (investment and group risk) particularly in Africa but also exploring opportunities locally Substantial work has been undertaken to understand capital and cash flow requirements of significant products in our retail business and we will be driving capital efficiency and cash flow generation in this business The impact of the Retail Distribution Review will have a significant positive impact on the capital and internal cash flows of insurers (significantly reducing funding of upfront commissions and acquisition costs) The Liberty BEE scheme matures on 1 January 2015 we are expecting a capital (both IFRS and statutory) uplift of approximately R600m from the repayment of BEE funding
