NOTICE ON COMPULSORY ACQUISITION TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF TOPDANMARK A/S (CVR NO. 78 04 00 17) IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 70-72 OF THE DANISH COMPANIES ACT

1 BACKGROUND

On 7 August 2024, Sampo plc ("Sampo") submitted a recommended public exchange offer to acquire all shares in Topdanmark A/S ("Topdanmark") (excluding treasury shares held by Topdanmark and Sampo's existing holding of Topdanmark shares), which expired on 9 September 2024 at 23:59 (CEST) (the "Exchange Offer"). After completion of the Exchange Offer, Sampo has acquired 38,558,968 shares in Topdanmark of the nominal value of DKK 1 each, corresponding to 43.23 per cent of the total share capital and 43.23 per cent of the voting rights in Topdanmark, excluding treasury shares held by Topdanmark. As at today, Sampo thus holds 92.59 per cent of the total share capital and voting rights in Topdanmark, excluding treasury shares held by Topdanmark. Including treasury shares held by Topdanmark, this corresponds to 91.76 per cent of the total share capital and voting rights in Topdanmark.

As Sampo now holds more than 90 per cent of the total share capital and voting rights in Topdanmark, excluding treasury shares held by Topdanmark, Sampo has today decided to exercise its right to initiate a compulsory acquisition of the shares held by the remaining minority shareholders of Topdanmark in accordance with sections 70-72 of the Consolidated Act no. 1168 of 1 September 2023 on Public and Private Limited Companies, as amended (the "Danish Companies Act") and Euronext Securities Copenhagen's Rule Book (the "Compulsory Acquisition"). Reference is also made to section 6.3 of the offer document dated 7 August 2024 (the "Offer Document"), in which Sampo previously informed the shareholders of Topdanmark about the possibility of a potential compulsory acquisition.

As a result of the Compulsory Acquisition, all remaining minority shareholders of Topdanmark are hereby formally requested to transfer their shares in Topdanmark to Sampo within a period of four (4) weeks expiring on 18 October 2024 at 23:59 (CEST) (the "Compulsory Acquisition Period").

Additional information about the Compulsory Acquisition is provided below. For Topdanmark shareholders registered in the voluntary share inscription system maintained by Topdanmark pursuant to articles 5 and 6 of Topdanmark's Articles of Association (the "Share Inscription System") ("Topdanmark Inscription Shareholders"), reference is also made to the information in section 4.

2 COMPULSORY ACQUISITION CONSIDERATION

2.1 Cash Consideration

The compulsory acquisition of the remaining Topdanmark shares will be completed at a redemption price of DKK 366.38 for each Topdanmark share of the nominal value of DKK 1, and payment will be made in cash (the "Compulsory Acquisition Consideration"). The Compulsory Acquisition Consideration corresponds to 1.25 times the Sampo closing share price of EUR 39.29 on Nasdaq Helsinki on 14 June 2024. The Compulsory Acquisition Consideration thereby reflects the valuation of the Topdanmark shares (including the premium of 27 per cent) indicated in the announcement published on 17 June 2024.

In the event that Topdanmark pays dividend (declared as final or otherwise binding on Topdanmark) and/or otherwise makes or resolves to make distributions to its shareholders prior to completion of the Compulsory Acquisition, and provided that the Topdanmark shares are transferred to Sampo ex-dividend (meaning without the right for Sampo to receive paid or declared but unpaid dividend and/or other distributions), the price to be paid pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition may be decreased by the amount of such dividend or other distribution per share on a DKK-for-DKK basis at the discretion of the board of directors of Sampo.

2.2 Expert valuation

If a remaining Topdanmark minority shareholder disagrees with the Compulsory Acquisition Consideration, such shareholder may request, pursuant to section 70(2) of the Danish Companies Act, that the Compulsory


Acquisition Consideration be determined by an expert appointed by the court for the district in which Topdanmark's registered office is situated. The expert will determine the redemption price in accordance with section 67(3) of the Danish Companies Act. The expert's valuation may be brought before a court of law no later than three (3) months after receipt of the expert's valuation. Where the expert's valuation results in a redemption price that is higher than that offered by Sampo, such higher price will also be valid for other Topdanmark minority shareholders.

2.3 Costs and fees

Any bank fees, brokerage fees and/or other costs imposed on a Topdanmark shareholder in connection with the shareholder's transfer of Topdanmark shares in connection with the Compulsory Acquisition are payable by the Topdanmark shareholder in question. Such bank fees, brokerage fees and/or other costs will not be paid by Sampo. This applies irrespective of whether a Topdanmark shareholder chooses to transfer its Topdanmark shares to Sampo prior to the expiry of the Compulsory Acquisition Period as described in section 3.1 for ordinary Topdanmark shareholders and section 4.1 for Topdanmark Inscription Shareholders.

3 INFORMATION RELEVANT ONLY FOR TOPDANMARK SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE NOT REGISTERED IN THE SHARE INSCRIPTION SYSTEM (ORDINARY TOPDANMARK SHAREHOLDERS)

3.1 Information about acceptance (Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholders)

Any Topdanmark Shareholder who is not registered in the Share Inscription System ("Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholders") and who chooses to transfer its Topdanmark shares to Sampo in accordance with this notice, should contact its own custodian bank or other account holding institution before expiry of the Compulsory Acquisition Period and request to have their Topdanmark shares transferred to Sampo.

Any acceptance of a transfer of Topdanmark shares may be notified online via the respective Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholder's custodian bank's or other account holding institution's web bank solution (if the respective Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholder's custodian bank or other account holding institution offers such solution) or by completing and submitting the attached acceptance form (1) to the respective Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholder's custodian bank or other account holding institution, which will then communicate the Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholder's acceptance to:

Nordea Danmark, Filial af Nordea Bank Abp, Finland
Grønjordsvej 10
DK-2300 Copenhagen S
Denmark
("Nordea")

Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholders who have accepted transferring their Topdanmark shares during the Compulsory Acquisition Period should be advised that the transfer of Topdanmark shares must be communicated to the Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholder's own custodian bank or other account holding institution in due time to allow the custodian bank or other account holding institution to process and communicate the acceptance to Nordea. Such notice must be received by Nordea prior to the expiry of the Compulsory Acquisition Period on 18 October 2024 at 23:59 (CEST). Sampo reserves the right to reject any acceptances that have been submitted conditionally, erroneously or deficiently.

The deadline for notification of acceptance to the custodian bank or other account holding institution will depend upon the Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholder's agreement with, and the rules and procedures of, the relevant custodian bank or any other account holding institution. Such time may be earlier than the last day of the Compulsory Acquisition Period.

Settlement of the transferred Topdanmark shares will take place after expiry of the Compulsory Acquisition Period. All Topdanmark shares transferred to Sampo in accordance with this notice must be free from any and all charges, liens, encumbrances and other third party rights.

3.2 Process for shareholders not submitting an acceptance in the Compulsory Acquisition Period (Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholders)

After expiry of the Compulsory Acquisition Period, Sampo will, against payment of the Compulsory Acquisition Consideration, compulsorily acquire any Topdanmark shares held by the remaining Ordinary Topdanmark minority shareholders who have not transferred their Topdanmark shares to Sampo prior to the expiry of the Compulsory Acquisition Period (the "Redeemed Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholders"). Payment of the Compulsory Acquisition Consideration will take place through Euronext Securities Copenhagen (VP Securities A/S). In exchange for such payment, the ownership of Topdanmark shares held by Redeemed Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholders will be transferred to Sampo, and Sampo will be registered as holder of the transferred Topdanmark shares. Topdanmark's register of shareholders will subsequently be updated to reflect the changes in the ownership of the Topdanmark shares.

After the expiry of the Compulsory Acquisition Period, Sampo will publish a new notice through the IT system of the Danish Business Authority with information that the Redeemed Ordinary Topdanmark Shareholders may demand an expert valuation of the Compulsory Acquisition Consideration within a period of three (3) months from the time of publication of such notice pursuant to section 72(3) of the Danish Companies Act. This right will be forfeited after the expiry of this three (3) month period.

STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TOPDANMARK A/S CONCERNING COMPULSORY ACQUISITION PURSUANT TO SECTION 70 (2) OF THE DANISH COMPANIES ACT

(the Statement)

The board of directors (the Board of Directors)¹ of Topdanmark has received and considered Sampo's above stated notice (the Notice) concerning the compulsory acquisition of any Topdanmark shares (Topdanmark Shares) held by the remaining minority shareholders of Topdanmark in accordance with sections 70 - 72 of the Danish Companies Act (in Danish: Selskabsloveri) (the Compulsory Acquisition).

Terms defined in the Notice shall have the same meaning when used in this Statement, unless the context otherwise requires or explicitly set out herein.

In fulfilment of its obligations set out in section 70 of the Danish Companies Act, the Board of Directors makes the following Statement concerning the terms and conditions for the Compulsory Acquisition:

  1. The Compulsory Acquisition follows completion of the Exchange Offer announced by Sampo on 7 August 2024. The Exchange Offer was made pursuant to a certain Combination Agreement between Sampo and Topdanmark entered into on 17 June 2024. Reference is made, inter alia, to Topdanmark's company announcements no. 9/2024, 14/2024 and 18/2024.
  2. The Board of Directors expressed its views on the Exchange Offer in its statement of 9 August 2024 (see company announcement 15/2024).
  3. Sampo has notified Topdanmark that Sampo holds more than 90 per cent of the Topdanmark Shares and the attaching voting rights, excluding any Topdanmark Shares owned by Topdanmark as treasury shares. Based on such holding of Topdanmark Shares, Sampo is, in accordance with the Danish Companies Act, entitled to carry out the Compulsory Acquisition.
  4. The terms and conditions of the Compulsory Acquisition set out in the Notice have been decided upon by and are and remain the sole responsibility of Sampo.
  5. In the Exchange Offer, Sampo offered to buy Topdanmark Shares for consideration in the form of new A shares of Sampo based on a fixed exchange ratio of 1:1.25 (the Exchange Ratio). Consequently, Sampo offered 1.25 new A shares of Sampo for each Topdanmark Share validly tendered in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Ratio reflected, as of the entering into of the Combination Agreement on 17 June 2024, a value per Topdanmark Share of DKK 366.38.² Thus, the Compulsory Acquisition Consideration equals the valuation applied to the Topdanmark Shares in the Exchange Offer.
  6. The Compulsory Acquisition Consideration differs and may differ from the price at which the Topdanmark Shares have traded and may continue to trade on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S after 14 June 2024.

This Statement is made in accordance with and is subject applicable Danish law and to the exclusive jurisdiction of Danish courts.

This Statement has been prepared in both a Danish and an English language version. In the event of any discrepancies, the Danish language version shall prevail.

Accordingly, any reference to Topdanmark's Board of Directors in this Statement shall, unless otherwise so specifically stated, be understood to exclude the Conflicted Directors.

² Value per Topdanmark Share calculated on the basis of the EUR 39.29 closing price of the Sampo A share on Nasdaq Helsinki on 14 June 2024, being the last trading date prior to announcement on 17 June 2024 of the entering into of the Combination Agreement and an EUR/DKK exchange rate of 7.46.
