All 9 month 2016 figures are compared to the 9 month 2015 figures unless otherwise stated.
Ageas CEO Bart De Smet said: "A strong third quarter performance confirmed Ageas's good first half year with solid to excellent results reported across the business. Since the start of the year, the Asian and Belgian businesses have reported consistently strong results, with the Life activities a key driver of growth in the insurance result alongside a good operating performance in Non-Life, specifically in the third quarter in Belgium. At the same time these satisfying results remain supported by very healthy solvency levels, despite the impact of adverse market movements in the third quarter.
During the third quarter, the next step was taken in the Fortis settlement procedure. On 24 March 2017, a public hearing will take place after which the Court of Amsterdam will take a decision on the binding declaration of the settlement."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Another strong quarter in both Life and Non-Life confirming the solid first half
The Insurance net result for the first nine months reached EUR 803 million, driven mainly by the Asian and Belgian Life activities.The Non-Life operating performance continued to improve in the third quarter, especially in Belgium. This is reflected in the combined ratio, reaching the target level of 97% after nine months, despite the impact of the adverse events in the first half. At the end of September, the Group net result turned positive again to EUR 118 million. Ageas's Group Solvency IIageas ratio remained strong at 199%, well above our 175% target. Total liquid assets stood at EUR 2 billion, out of which EUR 0.8 billion is ring-fenced for the settlement agreement.
Belgian and Asian Life businesses driving growth in inflows
Total inflows amounted to EUR 24.7 billion, an increase of 8% despite a 4% negative currency impact. Inflows continued the trend observed in the first half with the highest growth being recorded in Asia and Belgium. After a strong increase in the first half, inflows in Belgium leveled off somewhat in the third quarter but remained strong. Inflows in Continental Europe rose as a result of higher sales in Luxembourg and the inclusion of Ageas Seguros in Portugal. UK inflows were up 2% in local currency but suffered from worsening exchange rates.
Excellent nine month result boosted by capital gain from Hong Kong sale in the second quarter
The Insurance net profit amounted to EUR 803 million, compared to EUR 613 million, including a EUR 17 million negative impact from exchange rate differences. The third quarter net result amounted to EUR 196 million with solid contributions from all segments.
The net result of the Life activities amounted to EUR 623 million, up EUR 197 million compared to last year. The Non-Life net result amounted to EUR 181 million and only declined EUR 7 million despite the EUR 60 million combined impact from terrorism events in Belgium and above average weather costs in Belgium and the UK in the first half.
Group net result positive despite provision related to Fortis settlement
The Group net result of EUR 118 million year-to-date benefitted from the positive net result in the third quarter. The General Account net result of EUR 686 million negative, reflected the combined net accounting impact of the Fortis settlement agreement, with respect to all civil proceedings related to the events in 2007 and 2008 on the one
hand (EUR 889 million) and the EUR 200 million realised capital gain on the sale of Hong Kong partly booked in the General Account, on the other hand.
The combination of the revaluation (EUR 107 million) and the partial settlement (EUR 44 million) in the first half resulted in a EUR 63 million positive result over the first 9 months on the RPN(i) liability.
Staff and other operating expenses increased year-to-date to EUR 72 million due to a combination of one-off costs related to the legal settlement and the share plans in force.
Shareholders' equity and solvency
Total shareholders' equity decreased from EUR 11.4 billion or EUR 53.59 per share at the end of 2015 to EUR 10.5 billion or EUR 50.55 per share at the end of September. This decrease is mainly attributable to the payment of the 2015 dividend, negative currency exchange differences, and the ongoing share buy back programme.
The Insurance Solvency IIageas ratio decreased slightly from 182% to 181% and remained above the 175% target. Group Solvency IIageas ratio was down from 212% at year end to 199%.
The total liquid assets in the General Account increased from EUR 1.6 billion at the end of 2015 to EUR 2.0 billion, out of which EUR 0.8 billion has been ring-fenced for the Fortis settlement agreement.
Contingent liabilities
For the latest update on the Contingent Liabilities, please refer to note 27 of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the first nine months of 2016.

Inflows, including non-consolidated partnerships at 100%, increased 11% compared to last year to EUR 19.9 billion, including a negative currency impact of 4%. The highest growth was achieved in Belgium, up 16% to EUR 3.1 billion, which was mainly realised in the first half anticipating the lowering of the guaranteed rate. Inflows levelled off in the third quarter to nearly stable figures year-on-year. Inflows in Asia amounted to EUR 13.6 billion, an increase of 12%, including a 6% negative currency impact. The strongest growth was again recorded in China and Thailand. In Continental Europe inflows remained virtually unchanged at EUR 3.1 billion, marked by strong sales in Luxembourg offsetting lower volumes in Portugal and France.
The Technical Liabilities for the consolidated activities increased 2% to EUR 75.3 billion compared to the end of 2015 despite the exclusion of the Hong Kong entity since May (EUR 3.2 billion). The increase mainly reflected the strong growth in Belgium, up 6% to EUR 59.8 billion. The technical liabilities in the Asian and Continental European non-consolidated partnerships at 100% also continued to increase to EUR 66.4 billion at the end of September, compared to EUR 61.1 billion (+9%) at the end of last year.
The operating result increased strongly to EUR 437 million (vs. EUR 382 million last year) mostly driven by higher realised capital gains especially in Belgium in the first half. This was also reflected in the Guaranteed margin that increased from 80 bps to 97 bps. The Unit-Linked margin decreased from 37 bps to 21 bps reflecting a lower margin in Belgium and the divestment of Hong Kong, which had an exceptionally strong Unit Linked margin last year.
The net result increased from EUR 426 million to EUR 623 million including the EUR 200 million capital gain on the sale of the Hong Kong entity. Overall the contribution of net realised capital gains was somewhat lower compared to last year at which time we had an exceptional investment result from Asia. A better net result in Belgium and Continental Europe, due to among other things, the positive contribution from Ageas Seguros Life, more than offset the adverse exchange rate evolution (EUR 9 million) and a EUR 32 million lower net result contribution from the divested Hong Kong operations.
In Belgium, the net result amounted to EUR 233 million compared to EUR 182 million last year driven by higher realised capital gains which were also reflected in the higher operating margin on Guaranteed products (91 bps vs. 71 bps) while the third quarter benefitted from a higher non-allocated investment income.
In Continental Europe, the net result increased to EUR 33 million (vs. EUR 30 million) benefiting from a solid third quarter net result (EUR 17 million). In Portugal both the existing business as well as Ageas Seguros contributed to the strong result in the past quarter. Similar to Belgium, the operating margin on Guaranteed products was solid and amounted to 116 bps (vs. 101 bps), comfortably above the target level.
In Asia, the net result amounted to EUR 357 million (vs. EUR 214 million). This year's contribution to the net result of the divested activities in Hong Kong amounted to EUR 13 million compared to EUR 45 million last year. Excluding the capital gain on this divestment and the substantially lower amount of net capital gains in Asia overall, the net result showed good underlying progress despite the adverse exchange rate evolution of EUR 9 million.
The Life net profit in the third quarter amounted to EUR 118 million, up EUR 75 million year-on-year, the latter heavily impacted by equity impairments in Europe and Asia.

Gross inflows remained stable at EUR 4.8 billion despite a 6% negative currency impact. Gross inflows in Belgium remained stable at EUR 1.5 billion. In the UK, gross inflows were up at constant exchange rates mainly driven by a growing Motor book from the first half of the year. In Continental Europe inflows increased 20% to EUR 942 million largely driven by Portugal with Ageas Seguros contributing EUR 124 million while the existing business in Portugal also outperformed the market. Asian gross inflows increased mainly in Thailand and across all major product lines in local currency.
The Group combined ratio stood at 97.0% at the end of September, reaching the Group target. The combined impact of the terrorism events in Brussels and the above average adverse weather conditions both in Belgium and the UK in the first half (3.5 pp) were largely absorbed by an outstanding operational performance across all businesses. As anticipated, the prior year claims ratio normalised during the third quarter to 6.2% (vs.6.7%). Excluding the terrorism events, the combined ratio in Belgium would have been a very solid 94.3%. The combined ratio in the UK amounted to 99.7%. In Continental Europe the combined ratio remained strong at 90.7%. The increase compared to last year entirely relates to the inclusion of Ageas Seguros, which adds a different business mix compared to the existing business in Portugal.
The third quarter combined ratio amounted to an excellent 93.2% (vs. 94.6%), driven by a very strong current year claims ratio. Belgium stood at 89.6%, as a result of a good performance across all product lines.
The net result of the Non-Life activities amounted to EUR 181 million (vs. EUR 187 million) including a combined net negative impact of EUR 60 million related to the terrorism and adverse weather events in the first half, and the integration costs related to Ageas Seguros in Portugal of EUR 7 million. These items were more than offset by a strong operational performance, better investment results and a larger contribution from all non-consolidated entities both in Continental Europe and Asia.
In the third quarter, the Non-Life activities, marked by strong results especially in Belgium and Asia, contributed EUR 77 million to the net result compared to EUR 66 million last year.
As from 2016, the Ageas Non-Life result includes the results from the Group's internal Non-Life reinsurer, Intreas. The company was established mid-2015 and was previously accounted for in the General Account. Intreas reinsured EUR 32 million of premiums from the operating companies and contributed EUR 3 million to the Non-Life net result.

Gross inflows amounted to EUR 3.1 billion (+16%). This growth was entirely achieved in Guaranteed (+21%) driven by the strong inflow in short term investment products especially in the first half year, after which inflows leveled off. For new contracts closed after 1 November 2016, a guaranteed rate of 0.25% will apply. Unit-Linked inflows amounted to EUR 0.3 billion.
Overall, the Life Technical Liabilities increased by 6% from EUR 56.0 billion at the end of 2015 to EUR 59.8 billion. Excluding shadow accounting, the Life Technical Liabilities are 1.8% above the year-end 2015 figure with growth in all products.
The operating result increased strongly to EUR 341 million (vs. EUR 270 million last year) driven by a higher amount of realised capital gains especially related to real estate transactions in the first 6 months of 2016. This is reflected in the Guaranteed operating margin year-todate at 91bps (vs. 71bps).
In Unit-Linked, the operating margin evolved from 34bps last year to 20bps this year, due to a lower expense and risk result.
The net result increased from EUR 182 million to EUR 233 million supported by a higher amount of capital gains and a third quarter benefitting from a higher non-allocated investment income.
Non-Life: Excellent operating performance in third quarter marked by a combined ratio of 89.6%; year-to-date figures impacted by adverse events in previous quarters

Gross inflows remained stable both year-to-date and in the third quarter at EUR 1.5 billion and EUR 0.4 billion respectively.
The operating result decreased from EUR 150 million last year to EUR 125 million. A very solid underwriting performance and capital gains were offset by the impact of the terrorism events in March 2016 and the adverse weather events which occurred in the second quarter.
The combined ratio stood at 97.1%. Barring the Brussels terrorism events, the combined ratio would have been a very solid 94.3%. The third quarter combined ratio was excellent (89.6%) with a strong performance mostly in Motor and Household. Prior year reserve releases are in line with last year.
The net result amounted to EUR 76 million compared to EUR 83 million, despite the impact from the terrorism events and the adverse weather events that more than offset the capital gains.

As a result of integration within the UK business, from 2016 Ageas is presenting its Non-Life and Other Insurance segments in the UK on a consolidated basis and furthermore has reclassified some minor products from Other lines into both Motor and Household. The 2015 comparative figures have been restated accordingly.
The decrease of the exchange rate has impacted the UK results compared to the same period in 2015, with the exchange rate reducing by 9.5% compared with last year.
Gross Inflows, including non-consolidated partnerships, decreased to EUR 1.7 billion (vs. EUR 1.9 billion), but in local currency inflows were 2% higher than the same period last year, driven by strong Motor performance from the first half of the year.
Inflows of the non-consolidated entity, Tesco Underwriting Ltd, decreased to EUR 383 million (vs. EUR 423 million), but in local currency premiums remained flat against the same period in 2015.
Motor inflows reduced to EUR 845 million (vs. EUR 896 million), but were up 4% at constant exchange rates driven by volume growth in the first part of the year1 . Household inflows were down to EUR 301 million (vs. EUR 319 million), but also up 4% at constant exchange rates as a result of the positive impact of new deals announced earlier this year.
Inflows in Other lines were slightly down at EUR 173 million (vs. EUR 184 million) but 4% up at constant exchange rates, reflecting the contribution of new Commercial insurance deals achieved this year.
1 Association of British Insurers Quarterly Motor Insurance Premium Tracker Q3 2016: Year on year private car insurance premiums rose 9% and were up 1% over the second quarter 2016.
The combined ratio of the consolidated entities rose to 99.7% (vs. 98.4%), reflecting adverse weather and lower prior year releases, which had a combined impact of 2.4 pp. The Motor combined ratio improved to 99.3% (vs. 103.0%) driven by a lower expense ratio. The Household combined ratio deteriorated to 98.7% (vs. 86.5%) due to weather events (impact 5.0 pp) compared with a benign 2015, water damage claims inflation (2.4 pp), and Flood Re levies (1.6 pp). The combined Ratio for the third quarter was 95.1% (vs. 97.2%).
The combined ratio of Other Lines deteriorated to 102.6% (vs. 97.5%) driven by adverse evolution in Special Risks and lower prior year releases, partly offset by lower expenses.
The combined ratio of Tesco Underwriting improved to 98,3% (vs. 100.2%), with a strong performance in both Motor and Household.
The UK consolidated net result was EUR 54 million (vs. EUR 65 million) reflecting the impact of the adverse weather in June (EUR 13 million), the decrease of the exchange rate (EUR 6 million), and costs for innovation projects.
The net result of Tesco Underwriting improved to EUR 9 million (vs. EUR 7 million) reflecting an improved operating result this year, across both Motor and Household.

* As from Q2 2016, Ageas Seguros Portugal (ex Axa Portugal) is included in the reporting scope.
Gross inflows, including non-consolidated partnerships at 100%, reached EUR 3.1 billion, in line with last year, marked by higher sales in Luxembourg and the inclusion of Ageas Seguros (Portugal).
In Portugal, gross inflows were marked by a good third quarter. Yearto-date inflows are 5% down compared to last year at EUR 1.1 billion in a market down more than 30% both in Guaranteed and Unit Linked. Ocidental on the contrary managed to increase Unit-Linked sales by 48% in line with our strategy to sell less Guaranteed business. Ageas Seguros contributed EUR 48 million.
Gross inflows in France amounted to EUR 322 million, down 15% compared to last year, due to the decision to sell less guaranteed business and because last year's level of single premiums was exceptionally high.
In Luxembourg gross inflows exceeded last year's performance by 9% to EUR 1.7 billion, primarily thanks to higher sales to High-Net-Worth customers in Italy and France. Unit-Linked sales represented approximately 52% of inflows.
Life Technical Liabilities of the consolidated entities amounted to EUR 15.5 billion. The increase compared to year-end 2015 is due to the inclusion of Ageas Seguros. The non-consolidated Life Technical Liabilities in Luxembourg increased by 4% and amounted to EUR 19.6 billion.
The operating result was up 24% to EUR 78 million mainly supported by the inclusion of Ageas Seguros. The operating margin slightly increased to 116 bps on Guaranteed products and remained stable at 6 bps on Unit-Linked products.
The net profit over the first nine months amounted to EUR 33 million, and above last year. The increase is explained by the positive contribution of the Life activities of Ageas Seguros and a strong overall operating performance in the other Life activities. This was partly offset by fair value adjustments on assets classified as 'Held For Trading' in Luxembourg. Moreover, last year's nine months net results benefitted from a positive tax credit in France (EUR 5 million). In the same quarter last year, the results were impacted by the downward movement in equity markets affecting negatively the Q3 results both in Portugal and Luxembourg.
Non-Life: Strong results partly offset by integration costs in Portugal

* Scope change: as from Q2 2016, Ageas Seguros Portugal (ex Axa Portugal) is included in the reporting scope.
Gross Inflows, including non-consolidated partnerships at 100% amounted to EUR 942 million, up 19% on the previous year. At constant exchange rates inflows would have been up 25%.
Inflows in Portugal increased by 66% year on year amounting to EUR 368 million including EUR 124 million inflows from Ageas Seguros. Excluding Ageas Seguros, inflows grew 10%, again outperforming the market (+5%). The growth relates mainly to higher inflows in Health Care and successful cross selling campaigns in Household and Motor. Six months after its integration, Ageas Seguros is starting to see the first results of its transformation plan with an encouraging turnaround observed in New Business sales. The less profitable Commercial lines continue to be reduced.
In Italy inflows were slightly up at EUR 154 million. Inflows through the main bank channel confirmed strong growth in non-CPI products (Consumer Protection Insurance) (+8%) mainly as a result of new sales in Household and the launch of new products in Health. CPI sales continued to slow down following new legislation.
Strategic development
Ageas and Sabanci agreed to jointly increase their stake in Aksigorta in the next 12 months. The combined number of shares acquired will be dependent upon the share price evolution of Aksigorta, but will not exceed 4% of the total number of shares outstanding
Inflows in Turkey were flat year on year but up 12% at constant exchange rate mainly due to a strong growth in Motor, both in Motor Own Damages and Motor Third Party Liability. The latter benefited from a substantial increase in average premiums.
The operating result of the consolidated entities decreased by 9 % to EUR 55 million as it now includes Ageas Seguros, which that is in the midst of its transformation plan. The combined ratio remains very strong level at 90.7% vs. 86% last year.
The net result amounted to EUR 27 million down 20% on the previous year. The increased results in Italy and Turkey could not offset the lower contribution from Portugal, where the integration programme of Ageas Seguros impacted the results. In Turkey, the underwriting result strongly improved compared to last years' results which were particularly affected by bad weather and by low results in Motor Third Party Liability.
ASIA
Net profit EUR 378 million vs. EUR 222 million (+70%). Continued strong performance in China and Thailand and result supported by the capital gain on the divestment of the Hong Kong Life activities. Excellent overall third quarter. Gross Inflows EUR 14.3 billion vs. EUR 12.8 billion (+11%). Excellent growth in new business and renewal premiums especially in China and Thailand. Strategic development License received in Vietnam on July 1st 2016.

Gross inflows at EUR 13.6 billion were up 12% (+18% at constant exchange rates) including non-consolidated partnerships at 100%. Higher sales primarily originated from China and Thailand as a result of successful sales campaigns and continued channel development, including a further increase in the number of agents. Both Malaysia and India showed good performance in the third quarter. The new joint venture in the Philippines started to offer insurance solutions at the end of the first quarter.
Both new business premiums and renewals increased strongly by 13% to EUR 6.7 billion and 11% to EUR 6.9 billion respectively. The increase in new business premiums came mainly from regular premiums, up 30% at EUR 3.3 billion. Single premium inflows amounted to EUR 3.4 billion, slightly up versus last year. New business premiums in the agency channel grew significantly by 40% to EUR 3.0 billion while the bank channel realised EUR 3.6 billion inflows (at same level as last year).
In China, inflows increased by 17% year-on-year to EUR 11.0 billion (+23% at constant exchange rates). New business premiums amounted to EUR 5.8 billion, up 20%, of which EUR 2.8 billion (+44%) was in regular premium business and in line with the commercial strategy. New business through the agency channel grew by 51% amounting to EUR 2.8 billion, with regular premiums increased by 46%, supported by new campaigns and a further expanded agency force of almost 245.000 agents. In the first quarter, the bank channel ran its traditional single premium sales campaign which was once more very successful with new business banca premiums of EUR 2.9 billion. Renewals increased by 13% to EUR 5.2 billion with persistency levels continuing to be amongst the best in the market.
Thailand achieved solid business growth with inflows up 6% (+11% at constant exchange rates) to EUR 1.9 billion. Inflows were marked by a strong 24% growth in renewal premiums (at constant exchange rates) to EUR 1.2 billion following last year's growth in new business volumes and continued customer loyalty.
Inflows in Malaysia amounted to EUR 425 million increasing by 7% at constant exchange rates. The bank channel's focus on regular premium business resulted in a better product mix with regular premiums up by 45% at constant exchange rates. Renewal business amounted to EUR 215 million, up 18% at constant exchange rates.
Inflows in India amounted to EUR 141 million (+4% at constant exchange rates) supported by a 19% growth in regular premiums and higher renewal premiums (+13% at constant exchange rates).
Gross inflows from the consolidated operations in Hong Kong amounted to EUR 183 million up until 12 May 2016 when the divestment was completed.
Technical Liabilities increased 11% from the end of last year to EUR 46.8 billion following top line growth.
Total net profit in Asia amounted to EUR 357 million (vs. EUR 214 million). Net profit included part of the capital gain of the divestment of the Hong Kong Life activities amounting to EUR 200 million and an unfavourable currency rate evolution amounting to EUR 9 million. Excluding this and the exceptional investment results of last year, partly offset by impairments on the equity portfolio in last year's third quarter, the net result remained at a strong level. The lower contribution from Hong Kong was compensated by profitable regular premium sales and a strong financial performance especially in China.
The net profit of the consolidated operations in Hong Kong amounted to EUR 13 million (vs. EUR 45 million) until 12 May 2016 when the divestment was completed.
The non-consolidated partnerships realised a net profit of EUR 163 million (vs. EUR 188 million), -13%. Excluding last year's exceptional investment results, partly offset by equity impairments in last year's third quarter, net profit showed strong growth. Both China and Thailand benefited from sales campaigns related to profitable regular premium products reporting a strong financial performance. Furthermore, the net result in China benefitted from the release of a tax provision.
Regional headquarters costs amounted to EUR 19 million (vs. EUR 18 million) which included business development costs to support the strategic developments of the segment.

The General Account net result for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to EUR 686 million negative compared to EUR 14 million negative last year. The change primarily reflects the provision of EUR 889 million made for the Fortis settlement announced on 14 March 2016, the capital gain related to the divestment of the Hong Kong Life entity (EUR 204 million positive), and the value difference on the RPN(I) (EUR 63 million)
Fortis settlement
In March 2016 Ageas and the claimants' organisations, Deminor, Dutch shareholder Association VEB, Stichting FortisEffect, and Stichting Investor Claims Against Fortis (SICAF), announced a settlement proposal with respect to all civil proceedings related to the former Fortis group for the events in 2007 and 2008.
The net impact of the proposed settlement on General Account that has been provisioned in the first quarter of 2016 amounted to EUR 889 million. This is the result of:
- a provision of EUR 1,204 million related to the WCAM (Wet Collectieve Afwikkeling Massaschade) settlement agreement,
- plus EUR 45 million related to costs and expenses for organisations' representation of retail investors' interests and/or their future role in the settlement administration process,
- plus an additional provision of EUR 62 million related to the tail risk, estimated at 5% of the total settlement amount,
- minus the settlement amount of EUR 290 million to be contributed by the D&O Insurers and the reversal of the provision for litigation set up in 2014 (EUR 132.6 million).
In the second quarter a first cash transfer of EUR 247 million has been made to FORSettlement, the foundation handling the settlement agreement.
RPN(I)
The RPN(I) reference amount liability decreased from EUR 402 million at the end of 2015 to EUR 295 million at 30 September 2016 due to price movements and a partial settlement linked to the conversion of 656 CASHES by BNP Paribas in the course of 2016, following the agreement concluded with BNP Paribas.
The combination of the revaluation of the liability (EUR 107 million) and the partial settlement (EUR 44 million) resulted in a EUR 63 million positive impact on net income.
Royal Park Investments (RPI)
RPI sold its asset portfolio in April 2013. The remaining activity of RPI is essentially limited to the management of litigations initiated on a number of US assets.
Ageas's part in the net profit of RPI, accounted under 'Share of result of associates' amounted to EUR 27 million which was mainly driven by the resolution of outstanding US proceedings.
In the first 9 months of 2016, RPI up-streamed EUR 26 million dividends, of which EUR 9 million in the third quarter.
Other items
Net interest income amounted to EUR 7 million.
Staff and other operating expenses, after recharges increased from EUR 51 million last year, to EUR 72 million mainly due to some one-off costs related to the legal settlement and the share plans in force.
Total Liquid Assets
The total liquid assets in the General Account, including liquid assets with maturity over 1 year, amounted to EUR 2.0 billion, EUR 0.4 billion higher than end of 2015. The increase compared to the beginning of the year is primarily driven by the cash received from the divestment of the Hong Kong Life entity (EUR 1.2 billion).
Important elements lowering the cash position during the first nine months of 2016 related to the acquisition in Portugal, various investments in developing businesses in Asia and a first cash-out related to the Fortis settlement. The remaining cash out of EUR 0.8 billion related to the Fortis settlement has been ring-fenced.
Contingent Liabilities
On 14 March 2016 Ageas announced a settlement with Deminor, Stichting FortisEffect, Stichting Investor Claims Against Fortis and VEB with respect to the civil proceedings related to the former Fortis group for events in 2007 and 2008. On 23 May 2016, Ageas and the claimants' organisations jointly submitted a request to the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to declare the Fortis settlement agreement binding.
As a next step, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal will organise on 24 March 2017 a public hearing as part of the procedure to declare the settlement agreement binding.
For full details of contingent liabilities, see note 27 of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the first nine months of 2016.

* Because of the Hong Kong divestment concluded in the second quarter of 2016, no figure is reported for Asia as from the third quarter 2016.
Solvency position
The own funds of the insurance activities amounted to EUR 7.5 billion, and stood EUR 3.4 billion above SCR. This led to a strong total Insurance Solvency IIageas ratio of 181%, above the 175% target. The impact from strongly decreasing interest rates over the first nine months was compensated by a number of scope changes and model refinements, mainly related to our real estate investments.
The Insurance Solvency ratios by segments amounted to 240% for Belgium, 135% for the United Kingdom, 117% for Continental Europe and 245% for Reinsurance.
The Group Solvency IIageas ratio was down from 212% at year end to 199%. While the SCR benefitted from model refinements, the own funds decreased from EUR 9.4 billion at the end of 2015 to EUR 8.4 billion, exceeding the total solvency capital requirements by EUR 4.2 billion. The main drivers of this decrease relate to some impact of market movements, the legal settlement, the M&A transactions throughout the year, the share buy-back and the expected dividend, exceptionally higher due to divestment in Hong Kong.
Shareholders' equity
Total shareholders' equity decreased from EUR 11.4 billion or EUR 53.59 per share at the end of 2015 to EUR 10.5 billion or EUR 50.55 per share at the end of September. This decrease is mainly attributable to the payment of the 2015 dividend (EUR 0.3 billion), the ongoing share buy back programme (EUR 0.2 billion), and negative currency exchange differences (EUR 0.5 billion) out of which EUR 0.3 billion from Asia, mainly related to the sale of Hong Kong, and EUR 0.2 billion from the UK.
Investment portfolio
Ageas's investment portfolio at the end of September amounted to EUR 84.3 billion compared to EUR 81.5 billion at the end of 2015. The sale of Ageas's Hong Kong entity during the second quarter led to a decrease in the investment portfolio by EUR 2.4 billion, whereas the inclusion of Ageas Seguros led to an increase of the investment portfolio by EUR 1.4 billion. The value of the investment portfolio was driven by an increase of unrealised capital gains. At the end of September, the unrealised gains and losses on the total 'available for sale' investment and real estate portfolio amounted to EUR 11.7 billion compared to EUR 9.1 billion at the end of 2015. The unrealised capital gains on the 'Held to Maturity' portfolio increased from EUR 0.9 billion to EUR 2.9 billion.
The exposure to government bonds has increased mainly by market movements, at the expense of corporate bonds while the exposure to equities increased slightly. All other asset classes remained relatively stable.

Fixed income portfolio
Bonds
The government bond portfolio increased by EUR 2.6 billion over the first nine months to EUR 39.0 billion, driven by higher unrealised capital gains.
Corporate fixed income exposure decreased by EUR 1.2 billion to EUR 24.7 billion. The decrease in corporate bonds is mainly due to the exclusion of the Hong Kong portfolio in the second quarter, which was predominantly invested in corporate bonds.
At the end of September, the corporate bond portfolio consisted of 55% industrials, 23% financials, and 22% government related bonds. The credit quality of the corporate bond portfolio remained very high, with 93% at investment grade, of which 60% was rated A or higher.
The unrealised gains on the total 'available for sale' bond portfolio increased to EUR 9.7 billion (of which EUR 7.3 billion on government bonds and EUR 2.4 billion on corporates) compared to EUR 7.1 billion at the end of 2015, driven by lower yields.
Loans
Ageas's loan portfolio increased from EUR 7.3 billion to EUR 8.4 billion, mainly thanks to a higher exposure in 'loans to customers'. This evolution was realised through an increase in infrastructure loans, in mortgages and in 'other loans', more specifically loans benefiting from an explicit guarantee by the Belgian regions.
Equity portfolio
Equity investments at fair value increased by EUR 0.3 billion to EUR 4.2 billion. Gross unrealised capital gains were relatively stable at EUR 0.5 billion.
Real estate
Ageas's real estate portfolio at fair value increased by 0.1 billion to EUR 5.5 billion despite the realisation of two important real estate sales in the first half year. Gross unrealised capital gains were unchanged at EUR 1.5 billion.
