CNP Assurances poised to acquire exclusive control of five companies in Brazil, marking another step forward in its international multi-partner development strategy

CNP Assurances is pursuing its international development strategy by buying out Caixa Seguridade and Icatu's interests in five companies that distribute death/disability and health insurance, dental insurance, savings and consórcio products.

The transaction will enable CNP Assurances to build on its position as Brazil's third largest insurer¹ , based on two different distribution models:

• Open model distribution, leveraging the new wholly-owned subsidiaries' existing partner networks.

• Exclusive distribution under the partnership agreements with Caixa Econômica Federal, led by Caixa Vida e Previdência for individual and group pension products, consumer finance term creditor insurance and death/disability insurance (agreement renewed until 2046) and Caixa Consórcio for consórcio business (agreement renewed until 2041).

The transaction concerns Caixa Seguridade's 48.25% interests in the following four companies held through CNP Seguros Holding Brasil (CSH), the joint holding company between CNP Assurances and Caixa Seguridade² :

• 1. CNP Seguros Participações em Saúde Ltda "Saúde Holding"
• 1. Seguros Previdência do Sul "Previsul"
• 1. Odonto Empresas Convênios Dentários Ltda "Odonto Empresa"
