Business combinations after the <strong>report</strong>ing period<br />

Under a contract dated 24 June <strong>2011</strong> Talanx International AG and HDI Seguros Mexico (both in the<br />

Retail International segm<strong>en</strong>t) acquired all of the shares of the Mexican insurer Metropolitana Compania<br />

de Seguros, Mexico City, Mexico, for a purchase price of USD 100 million. The acquisition of<br />

the company was closed on 1 January 2012. The Mexican company transacts primarily motor business.<br />

In addition, business is conducted in the life and property lines. Premium volume amounted<br />

to EUR 75 million in <strong>2011</strong>. The sales organisation conc<strong>en</strong>trates on Mexico City and the c<strong>en</strong>ter of the<br />

country.<br />

The purpose of these acquisitions is to move forward with further internationalisation in the<br />

Retail International segm<strong>en</strong>t. The Group has <strong>en</strong>hanced its pres<strong>en</strong>ce in Latin America through the<br />

acquisition and is thus able to make the most of the available opportunities in local markets.<br />

The disclosures required by IFRS 3 B 64(f)-(n), (q) in conjunction with IFRS 3 B 66 cannot be provided<br />

due to the proximity of the acquisition date to the closing date and also because the op<strong>en</strong>ing balance<br />

sheet is not yet available.<br />
