  5. What we’ve done …operational restructuring • Shortcomings of the old structure • Processes evolved differently leading to inefficiency • Many different products and services • Slow customer response times • Duplication of structures leading to additional costs • Varying and different customer contact points • Potentially higher operational risk environment

  8. What we’ve done … products and distribution channels • Continued focus on broker relationships • Regional head office in Cape Town being established • Individual life bancassurance model continues to deliver • Recruitment in agency and franchise progressing well

  9. What we’ve done … products and distribution channels • Productivity of sales force remains a focus • Launch of AddLib loyalty program • Introduction of new risk product options • Continue advertising campaign - ‘let’s keep working on it’

  10. What we’ve done …capital management • Approval by FSB to issue bond of up to R2bn • Took cautious approach post PFA rulings • Still committed to issuing debt, but at the right time • Bought CAHL, with statutory CAR cover now at 1,78x (our range 1,5-1,7x) • Sold significant portion of SAB • Liquidated trading portfolio

  11. What we’ve done … Liberty Active • Early days • Sales management 61 with 245 tied agents • 22 branches have been opened-mainly new areas • 7 broker networks in the Eastern Cape • “Active Series” of six products has been launched • Sales of 12 335 Active Series policies (API R24m)

  12. What we’ve done …Liberty Active • Keeping a watchful eye • Premium collection is difficult in this market as expected • Management of persistency is critical • Steering committee meets monthly ensuring tight management • Reiterate that we would rather focus on build, not buy strategy • This ‘investment’ should not be more than R50–R100m

  13. Operating climate • It’s getting even tougher • PFA rulings have negatively impacted sentiment • Compliance and regulatory requirements continue • IFRS • Low interest rate/low inflation environment • Investors remain risk averse • Poor perception of industry (media and consumers)

  14. Operating climate (continued) • PFA rulings have cast the industry in a very poor light • Liberty’s Lifestyle Retirement Annuity Fund has had 4 rulings against it • Total rulings to date <R0,3m • We are taking it very seriously • The industry is introducing new flexible products • We need to resolve both the past and the future • There is still uncertainty • Working with the industry to resolve the issues

  15. Operating climate (continued) • But… • South African economy - the success story continues • Strong local investment returns • Weakness in the rand has helped, but offshore product demand still poor • Cash still being accumulated by investors = opportunity • We welcome the move to greater transparency

  50. Effect of the BEE transaction on headline earnings • As a consequence of utilising Liberty Life’s own cash flows (in the form of ordinary dividends paid) to service the empowerment transaction financing structure (in the form of dividends on preference shares), the dividends received on the empowerment preference shares will be accounted for directly in reserves, thereby offsetting the dividends so received against the ordinary dividends paid by the company • Due to the fact that the Black Economic Empowerment transaction is effectively accounted for as a share buy back (until such time that all funding is repaid), the weighted average number of shares in issue for 2004 has been reduced by 25.8m shares. The transaction was implemented on 8 November 2004
