• (a) the formation of the Joint Venture Company is helpful to provide more comprehensive, safer and more efficient insurance services for the Company and its subsidiaries;

• (b) the formation of the Joint Venture Company is able to steadily support the segmental operations and overseas businesses of the Company which increases its overall capabilities to react to risks;

• (c) the formation of the Joint Venture Company is able to save the total insurance costs of the Company which will decrease operation costs; and

• (d) the formation of the Joint Venture Company is helpful for the Company to accumulate experiences to withstand the risks, to broaden the channel of reinsurance, and to upgrade its specialised risk management operations which will finally maximise the shareholders' interests of the Company as a whole.
