GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF SAVA RE, D.D.

Explanation of the Proposed Resolutions for the 32nd General Meeting of Shareholders of Sava Re, d.d.

Ad agenda item 2 (the supervisory board's explanation):

According to the applicable articles of association of Sava Re, d.d., the supervisory board is composed of six members, of which four (the shareholder representatives) are elected by the Company's general meeting, and two (the employee representatives) are elected by the workers' council, which subsequently informs the general meeting of its resolution. After the resignation of Branko Tomažič from the position of chair and member of the supervisory board in October 2016, the supervisory board of Sava Re, d.d. has been operating with five members. The term of office of the remaining three members who are shareholder representatives expires in 2017. Due to the complexity of the business operations of Sava Re, d.d. and the Sava Re Group, the Company wants to ensure that the supervisory board operates with all six members as soon as possible, thereby ensuring compliance with the Company's articles of association as regards the number of supervisory board members. Considering the complexity and amount of time that the procedure will require, including the fit and proper assessment of both the supervisory board member candidates and the supervisory board as a whole, it was assessed that this procedure should result in obtaining a complete set of four members of the supervisory board to represent shareholder interests.

Accordingly, we seek to complete the procedure of selecting candidates and the election of four new supervisory board members in an extraordinary general meeting scheduled to be held before the regular annual general meeting scheduled for the end of May, as per the 2017 financial calendar.

Pursuant to the ZGD-1, the supervisory board is responsible for proposing to the general meeting candidates for new supervisory board members to represent shareholder interests.

The proposal of the supervisory board is based on the proposal by the supervisory board nominations committee dated 12 January 2017, which is a consulting body in the selection of candidates for the supervisory board. The candidates are then proposed by the supervisory board to the general meeting for election. To ensure further independence and the objectivity of the selection procedure, the committee was assisted by an outside human resources expert.

The supervisory board proposes that the following four candidates are elected as members of the supervisory board:

Davor Ivan Gjivoje, Andrej Kren, Mateja Lovšin Herič, Keith William Morris.

All of the candidates have consented to their nomination and signed statements confirming that there were no circumstances that, under the ZGD-1 or Slovenian Insurance Act, would oppose their election. In addition, all candidates signed statements giving qualifications as to each criterion of independence and declaring to be independent within the meaning of the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code for Public Joint-Stock Companies; statements also include a declaration

that candidates have the appropriate motivation, experience, knowledge and time for serving on the Company's supervisory board.

All of the proposed candidates submitted the full documentation as required under internal fit and proper regulations of relevant persons of Sava Re, d.d.

In preparing its proposal, the supervisory board considered the recommendation of diversity of technical knowledge, experience and skills in order for supervisory board members to complement each other, while also taking due account of the recommendation to consider diversity in terms of gender, age, nationality and education. Furthermore, the supervisory board sought to prepare a proposal in line with the principle of continuity of the supervisory board's operation.

The supervisory board's fit and proper committee of Sava Re, d.d. assessed as fit and proper each of the proposed candidates, as well as the competence of the supervisory board as a collective body in the expected future composition.

It is proposed to the general meeting that one member start his term of office on the day of the general meeting, i.e. 7 March 2017, while three new members of the supervisory board start their terms of office after the expiry of the terms of office of the current supervisory board members, i.e. on 16 July 2017. The terms of office of all of the new supervisory board members shall run for four years, in accordance with the Company's articles of association, starting from the date the candidate starts the term of office.

In accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 274 of the ZGD-1 and with regard to the fact that Sava Re, d.d. is a listed joint-stock company trading on the prime market of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, it is proposed that the general meeting should take a separate vote for each supervisory board member candidate.
