Solvency movement from Q4 2020 to Q1 2021 Storebrand Group

SII position Storebrand Group

- Higher interest rates increase the solvency ratio, removes transitional
- Regulatory changes, including increased equity stress and lower UFR, reduce the solvency ratio
- Strong growth in the quarter dilutes the solvency ratio
- Issuance of net EUR +250m subordinated debt adds solvency capital

1The estimated Economic solvency position of Storebrand Group is calculated using the current Storebrand implementation of the Solvency II Standard model with the company's interpretation of the
transition rules from the NFSA. Output is sensitive to changes in financial markets, development of reserves, changes in assumptions and improvements of the calculation framework in the economic capital
model as well as changes in the Solvency II legislation and national interpretation of transition rules.
