VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

AIA FURTHER STRENGTHENS PAN-ASIAN LEADERSHIP THROUGH EXCLUSIVE LONG-TERM BANCASSURANCE PARTNERSHIP WITH CITIBANK IN 11 MARKETS

AIA Group Limited (the “Company” or “AIA”) is pleased to announce that today AIA and Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) have reached agreement on a landmark exclusive bancassurance partnership that encompasses 11 markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The markets included in the agreement are: Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia, India and Korea.

The exclusive distribution agreement is for a 15-year period. The partnership involves all retail distribution channels, including branches, telemarketing and online channels. It covers both retail and group life insurance product areas (excluding credit insurance) and provides AIA access to Citibank’s corporate clients and approximately 13 million existing retail cardholders and banking customers in the 11 markets.

Mark Tucker, AIA’s Group Chief Executive and President, said: “This highly attractive distribution agreement further consolidates AIA’s leading position in Asia’s fast growing life insurance markets and significantly enhances our bancassurance platform alongside our long-established and market leading agency channel. Our new long-term partnership provides exclusive access to Citibank’s extensive regional distribution network. It will enable AIA to apply our in-branch sales expertise, leading point-of-sale technology and broad product range with the objective of considerably increasing the life and health insurance penetration of Citibank’s large retail and commercial customer base across Asia.”

Mr. Tucker further commented: “This long-term agreement is a natural fit for both AIA and Citibank to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders through a demonstrated commitment to the future growth and development of the Asia-Pacific region.”

The new partnership arrangements will be implemented in each local territory during the course of 2014.
