Group CEO’s comment
2024 was a landmark year for Sampo strategically as well as an excellent year when it comes to 
operational progress. We delivered solid underwriting profit growth of 13 per cent, significantly 
supported by strong performance in the UK, and we acquired the minority interest in Topdanmark, 
completing our journey to an integrated P&C insurance group. We enter 2025 in excellent shape, 
following strong growth in the fourth quarter and with an attractive pipeline of opportunities to 
capitalise on our digital capabilities and the synergy potential in integrating Topdanmark.
Top-line growth continued to be excellent in the fourth quarter, on the back of long-term investments made into 
our capabilities and rational market conditions. Private stands out with 8 per cent currency adjusted GWP growth 
in the quarter, or 10 per cent if we exclude the Swedish mobility business adversely affected by low new car sales. 
This growth comes partly from investments into personal insurance and property, which grew by 14 per cent and 7 
per cent in the quarter, respectively. However, supportive conditions in Norway and Denmark also provide a tail 
wind with a notable acceleration in gross written premium growth in Topdanmark to 11 per cent in the quarter. 
Private retention remains high and stable at 89 per cent, reflecting both high customer satisfaction and rational 
Nordic markets. To complete the picture on Private, I am pleased to be able to report that we have recently 
renewed two of the largest motor insurance distribution agreements in the Nordic markets, thereby confirming our 
strong leadership position in the region.
In the UK, we added 84,000 policies in the quarter with growth in new products, such as telematics, bike, van, and 
home insurance, partly offset by a disciplined approach to the broader motor product as market pricing ticked 
down. Overall, 2024 was an outstanding year for Hastings with underwriting profit growth of 49 per cent, 
accounting for almost half the 13 per cent increase at Group level.
In corporate lines, I want to focus on the 1 January 2025 renewals, which account for around 40–45 per cent of the 
business. Commercial achieved high-single digit rate increases, backed by particularly strong development in 
Norway, while retention remained high. In Industrial, a largely supportive market enabled rate increases above plan, 
and we took the opportunity to continue to reduce our exposure to the largest property risks. Our main 
reinsurance programmes were renewed successfully on 1 January, with net retention unchanged at SEK 300 million 
(circa EUR 25 million) per event and individual property risk.
The de-risking action taken in Industrial and our discipline in UK motor illustrates our underwriting culture and 
commitment to high and stable margins. The fourth quarter once again saw strong and consistent development in 
underlying margins, as well as yet another improvement in the Nordic cost ratio putting us ahead of the ambition 
for 2024. The integration of Topdanmark into If P&C provides an opportunity to accelerate Nordic productivity 
improvements over the coming years.
Turning to capital management, the Board of Directors is proposing a dividend of EUR 1.70 per share for 2024, or 
EUR 0.34 per share adjusting for the upcoming share split, representing growth of 6 per cent, as we prioritise 
reliability and a steady trajectory. In addition, I expect that we will launch a new share buyback programme in 
2025, with a fresh mandate from our Annual General Meeting, funded by capital generated in 2024 and potential 
disposals of legacy holding company investments. Our commitment to disciplined capital management is 
unwavering and we will regularly seek to complement dividends with share buybacks.
To conclude, we look to 2025 with great confidence. We have completed our strategic simplification, further 
rapidly developed our digital abilities and seen strong momentum in the 1 January renewals. Based on this, we have 
set an outlook for underwriting profit of EUR 1,350–1,450 million for 2025, reflecting our expectation to be able to 
deliver on our operating EPS growth target of more than 7 per cent per annum on average in 2024–2026.

Group CEO’s comment

===== SIDA 5 =====

Outlook
Operating environment and assumptions
The acquisition of Topdanmark in 2024 completed Sampo’s transition into a fully integrated P&C insurance group. 
Sampo has an attractive operational footprint as the leader in the consolidated Nordic P&C insurance market and a 
leading operator in the growing digital UK P&C insurance market, positioning the Group to deliver both stability 
and growth.
Competitive dynamics remain rational across the Group’s areas of operation going into 2025, while demand for 
P&C insurance is stable despite limited economic growth. Sampo expects claims cost to continue to grow above 
the long-term trend over the year, driven by factors including rising repair costs for new cars and continued wage 
and service inflation. At Group level, underlying claims cost is expected to see a mid-single digit per cent increase 
in 2025, and the Group remains firmly committed to conservatively reflecting this in its pricing.
The strategic and operational investments made by Sampo over recent years have substantially strengthened its 
competitive position. The Group has unique digital capabilities across distribution, pricing, underwriting, and claims 
handling that enable it to deliver superior service and efficiency. Further, the integration of Topdanmark into the 
Group is expected to enable financial benefits through the delivery of scale benefits and synergies.
Outlook for 2025
The outlook for Sampo Group’s 2025 financial performance is:
• Group insurance revenue: EUR 8.7–9.0 billion, representing growth of 4–7 per cent year-on-year.
• Group underwriting result: EUR 1,350–1,450 million, representing growth of 3–10 per cent year-on-year.
The outlook for 2025 is consistent with Sampo’s 2024–2026 financial targets of delivering a combined ratio below 
85 per cent annually and operating EPS growth of more than 7 per cent annually on average.
The outlook is subject to uncertainty related to occurrence and estimation of the cost of P&C claims, investment 
performance, foreign exchange rates, and competitive dynamics. Revenue forecasts, in particular, are subject to 
competitive conditions, which may change rapidly in some areas, such as the UK motor insurance market. The 
revenue and underwriting profit figures in the outlook are based on 31 December 2024 currency exchange rates.
A full explanation of the alternative performance metrics used in the Outlook can be found in the section 
Calculation of key figures.
The major risks and uncertainties for the Group in the 
near-term
In its current day-to-day business activities Sampo Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, mainly 
through its major business units. Major risks affecting the Group companies’ profitability and its variation are 
market, credit, insurance, and operational risks. At the Group level, sources of risks are the same, although they are 
not directly additive due to the effects of diversification. 
Uncertainties in the form of major unforeseen events may have an immediate impact on the Group’s profitability. 
The identification of unforeseen events is easier than the estimation of their probabilities, timing, and potential 
outcomes. Macroeconomic and financial market developments affect Sampo Group primarily through the market 
risk exposures it carries via its insurance company investment portfolios and insurance liabilities. Over time, 
adverse macroeconomic effects could also have an impact on Sampo’s operational business, for example, by 
reducing economic growth or increasing claims costs. 
SAMPO GROUP RESULTS FOR 2024
Outlook

===== SIDA 6 =====

Inflation continued to fall in 2024 with euro-area headline inflation being already close to the central bank target. 
However, the fall in inflation has largely come from lower goods inflation and a decline in energy prices. Whereas 
the fall in goods inflation has been supported by supply-chain normalisation, it may rise if trade restrictions 
increase import prices, and energy prices continue to be vulnerable to geopolitical events. Furthermore, rapid 
wage growth has kept services inflation high and could continue to keep price pressures elevated unless labour 
markets loosen as currently expected. This creates uncertainty on whether central banks will be willing to cut 
interest rates as swiftly as expected. This may lead to both a significant slowdown in economic growth and a 
deterioration in the debt service capacity of businesses, households, and governments, raising the risk of abrupt 
asset repricing in financial markets. Furthermore, the potential escalation of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle 
East represent a major economic risk. Combined with historically high equity market valuations in the US in 
particular, these developments are currently causing significant uncertainties in economic and capital market 
development. At the same time, rapidly evolving hybrid threats create new challenges for states and businesses. 
There are also a number of widely identified macroeconomic, political, and other sources of uncertainty which can, 
in various ways, affect the financial services industry in a negative manner. 
Sampo Group’s insurance exposures in Russia or Ukraine are limited to certain Nordic industrial line clients with 
coverage subject to war exclusions. On the asset side, Sampo has no material direct investments in Russia or 
Ukraine. Given the limited direct exposure, the biggest risk from the war in Ukraine to Sampo relates to the second 
order capital markets and the macroeconomic effects outlined above. 
Other sources of uncertainty are unforeseen structural changes in the business environment and already identified 
trends and potential wide-impact events. These external drivers may have a long-term impact on how Sampo 
Group’s business will be conducted. Examples of identified trends are demographic changes, climate change, and 
technological developments in areas such as artificial intelligence and digitalisation including threats posed by 
cybercrime.

Financial highlights for 2024
Sampo Group sustained strong top-line growth in 2024, fuelled by solid performance in the Group’s 
growth areas, such as the UK, personal insurance, and digital sales. Strong growth, combined with 
positive underlying trends, drove underwriting result growth of 13 per cent. 
Gross written premiums (GWP) and brokerage income increased by 12 per cent on a currency adjusted and a 
reported basis to EUR 9,931 million (8,870) in 2024. If enjoyed 6.7 per cent currency adjusted GWP growth, driven 
by high and stable retention and price actions to mitigate claims inflation. Private saw 6.5 per cent currency 
adjusted growth, as strong development in growth areas such as personal insurance and private property, offset 
slower growth in motor lines due to weak new car sales. Commercial delivered a healthy 5.6 per cent currency 
adjusted growth despite sluggish economic activity, while Industrial achieved 9.5 per cent currency adjusted 
growth, supported by rate action, increased values, and a good renewals outcome. Topdanmark reported GWP 
growth of 16 per cent driven by the acquisition of Oona Health, rate actions, and organic growth of 8 per cent.
The Group’s UK operations had a strong year with 23 per cent GWP growth on local currency basis. The top-line 
growth was driven by an increase in policy count and higher average premiums. In total, the policy count increased 
by 12 per cent to 3.9 million at the end of 2024, driven by 8 per cent growth in motor, and 34 per cent growth in 
home. Policy growth in motor was supported by strong development in new products, such as telematics, bike and 
van insurance, as well as selective growth in the core portfolio.
Claims experience was mixed in 2024 as the harsh Nordic winter in the first quarter was followed by more typical 
weather conditions and an elevated large claims outcome, particularly in the second and third quarter. In total, 
severe weather and large claims had a 3.3 percentage points negative effect on the Group combined ratio. 
Nevertheless, the Group combined ratio improved to 84.3 per cent (84.6), and combined with strong top-line 
growth, led to a 13 per cent increase in the underwriting result on a currency adjusted basis and on a reported 
basis, reaching EUR 1,316 million (1,164). 
Underlying margin development remained positive throughout the year with the Group underlying combined ratio 
improving by 1.5 percentage points. The improvement was driven by particularly strong performance in the UK,  
while the Nordics also experienced a steady positive trend. If reported an undiscounted adjusted risk ratio 
improvement of 0.3 percentage points year-on-year, supported by disciplined underwriting and rate actions to 
cover Nordic claims inflation, which stood at around 4 per cent at the end of 2024. Further, If improved its cost 
ratio by 0.3 percentages points, slightly ahead of the 0.2 percentage points annual ambition. In the UK, motor 
prices were in a downtrend towards the end of the year, while loss costs continued to benefit from favourable 
claims frequency trends.

===== SIDA 8 =====

The net financial result amounted to EUR 636 million (560). Net investment income declined to EUR 888 million 
(1,006), following weaker market performance in the fourth quarter than in the prior year, which benefited from 
exceptionally favourable market conditions. The Group fixed income running yield was 3.9 per cent, while the 
mark-to-market yield amounted to 4.2 per cent at the end of 2024. Insurance finance income or expense (IFIE) 
amounted to EUR -252 million (-446), including a negative effect from unwind of discounting of EUR -238 million 
(-248). Changes in discount rates had a negative effect of EUR -25 million (-160) on IFIE. 
Profit before taxes was EUR 1,559 million (1,481), including non-recurring costs of around EUR 150 million related to 
the Topdanmark integration. Excluding this, profit before taxes would have been EUR 1,709 million. Operating EPS 
grew 13 per cent to EUR 2.33 (2.07) driven by increased underwriting profit. Sampo targets more than 7 per cent 
operating EPS growth on average over 2024–2026.
The Group Solvency II ratio, net of the proposed dividend, amounted to 177 per cent at the end of 2024, down 
from 182 per cent at the end of 2023, but unchanged over the third quarter. Financial leverage stood at 26.9 per 
cent at the end of 2024, up from 25.3 per cent at the end of 2023, but broadly unchanged from 26.8 per cent at 
the end of the third quarter. Sampo targets a solvency ratio of 150– 190 per cent and a financial leverage of below 
30 per cent.
Sampo plc’s Board of Directors proposes a regular dividend of EUR 1.70 per share for 2024 to the Annual General 
Meeting to be held on 23 April 2025. This represents growth of 6 per cent from the prior year regular dividend of 
EUR 1.60 per share. On 5 February 2025, the Board resolved upon a share split so that 4 new shares will be issued 
for each existing share. Adjusted for the share split, the proposed regular dividend is EUR 0.34 per share.
In its outlook for 2025, Sampo expects the deliver insurance revenue of EUR 8.7 - 9.0 billion, representing growth 
of 4 - 7 per cent, and an underwriting result of EUR 1,350 - 1,450 million, implying an increase of 3 - 10 per cent. The 
outlook is consistent with Sampo’s financial targets of achieving a combined ratio below 85 per cent annually and 
operating EPS growth of more than 7 per cent on average over 2024-2026.

Fourth quarter 2024 in brief
Strong top-line growth, notably in Private, and positive margin development drove 28 per cent 
growth in underwriting profits. 
Gross written premiums and brokerage income increased by 18 per cent on a currency-adjusted basis and 19 per 
cent on a reported basis to EUR 2,212 million (1,864) in October-December 2024. The growth was positively 
affected by Topdanmark’s acquisition of Oona Health as well as a change of inception date for a small group of 
large industrial contracts from the third quarter to the fourth quarter. Excluding these, the currency adjusted top-
line growth was 10 per cent.
If reported currency adjusted GWP growth of 8.0 per cent, excluding change of inception date-effects, supported 
by strong growth of 8.3 per cent in its largest business area, Private, which benefited from solid development in 
non-motor lines, such as personal insurance and private property. Excluding the Swedish mobility business, which 
continued to be negatively impacted by low new car sales, Private currency adjusted growth was 9.8 per cent. 
Within corporate lines, Commercial saw 5.4 per cent currency adjusted growth, including a 8 per cent increase in 
SME. Industrial delivered 13.3 per cent growth excluding the effect from the change of inception date. Topdanmark 
had a strong quarter with organic growth of 11 per cent. The reported GWP growth of 41 per cent was driven by 
the acquisition of Oona Health, which generates most of its annual premiums in the fourth quarter.
The UK continued to deliver robust growth, albeit below the exceptionally strong level observed in the third 
quarter, as motor insurance market prices continued to ease from high levels. Fourth quarter GWP increased by 14 
per cent on a local currency basis on a rise in live customer policies and higher average premiums increases. 
Fourth quarter winter weather was fairly normal, with claims damage caused mainly by localised events, whereas 
the prior year was affected by an early start to the winter in the Nordics. In total, severe weather and large claims 
had 2.3 percentage points negative effect on the Group combined ratio, down from 4.5 percentage points in the 
comparison period. The Group underlying combined ratio improved by 1.4 percentage points, driven by solid 
performance across business areas with If reporting an undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improvement of 0.3 
percentage points year-on-year. The Group combined ratio improved to 83.4 per cent (85.5). The underwriting 
result increased by 28 per cent on a currency adjusted basis and on a reported basis to EUR 361 million (281), on 
strong growth.

Fourth quarter 2024 in brief

===== SIDA 11 =====

The net financial result decreased to EUR 62 million (175), driven by lower investment income. Fourth quarter net 
investment income of EUR 70 million (517) was affected by a rise in interest rates and soft Nordic equity market 
performance, while the comparison period benefited from exceptionally favourable conditions. IFIE amounted to 
EUR -7 million (-342), supported by a positive effect of EUR 43 million from changes in discount rates, whereas the 
comparison period saw a negative effect of EUR -271 million. Unwind of discounting stood at EUR -54 million (-81). 
Profit before taxes was EUR 219 million (368). This includes non-recurring costs of around EUR 150 million related 
to the Topdanmark integration reserved for the fourth quarter, without which quarterly profit before taxes would 
have been EUR 369 million. Of the restructuring charge, EUR 76 million was booked in the If segment and EUR 73 
million in the Topdanmark segment. Operating EPS came in at EUR 0.65 (0.42) on the back of a higher 
underwriting result and stable investment returns.

Dividend proposal
Sampo plc’s dividend policy is to pay a stable and sustainable regular dividend that grows in line with Sampo 
Group’s operating result over time. In addition to this, excess capital is returned through share buybacks and/or 
extra dividends, to the extent that it is not utilised to support business development.
Pursuant to Sampo plc’s dividend policy applicable to the distribution of 2024 earnings, total annual dividends paid 
shall represent at least 70 per cent of Sampo Group’s operating result for the year. The Group’s operating result for 
the financial year 2024 amounted to EUR 1,193 million. The parent company’s distributable capital and reserves 
totalled EUR 7,851 million of which profit for the financial year 2024 was EUR 1,863 million.
Based on the policies outlined above, the Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a total dividend of 
EUR 1.70 per share be paid, except for any shares held by Sampo plc on the dividend record date of 25 April 2025. 
However, if the share issue without consideration in proportion to shares owned by shareholders (share split) (as 
announced by Sampo plc on 5 February 2025) is successfully carried out and effected after the date of this 
proposal but prior to the dividend record date, the proposed total dividend shall instead be EUR 0.34 per share, 
except for any shares held by Sampo plc on the dividend record date of 25 April 2025. 
The Board proposal to the Annual General Meeting corresponds to a total dividend of EUR 915 million in the 
aggregate, equating to a payout ratio of 77 per cent of the Group’s operating result for the financial year 2024.
The remainder of the distributable funds are left in the company’s equity capital. After adjusting for the proposed 
dividend, the parent company’s 2024 year-end distributable funds amounted to approximately EUR 6,936 million 
and Group Solvency II ratio to 177 per cent. The Group’s 2024 year-end financial leverage was 26.9 per cent.
Dividend payment 
The dividend is proposed to be paid to the shareholders registered in the company’s shareholders register 
maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy as at the record date of 25 April 2025. The Board proposes that the dividends 
be paid on 6 May 2025.
The issuer of the Swedish depository receipts shall ensure that the dividend is paid to the depository receipt 
holders registered in the securities depository and settlement register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB as at 
the record date of 25 April 2025, with payment made in Swedish Krona.
The dividend payment for shares registered in the form of share entitlements book-entered in VP Securities A/S in 
Denmark as at the record date of 25 April 2025 will be administered by VP Securities A/S subsequent to receipt of 
the dividend by Euroclear Finland.
Financial position
No significant changes have taken place in the company's financial position since the end of the financial year. The 
company's liquidity position is good and in the view of the Board, the proposed distributions do not jeopardise the 
company's ability to fulfil its obligations.

Underwriting performance
If reported an insurance service result of EUR 890 million (842) and a combined ratio of 83.1 per cent (83.1) in 
2024. The underlying margin trend remained positive with an undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improvement of 0.3 
percentage points and a cost ratio reduction of 0.3 percentage points year-on-year. Although the fourth quarter 
was affected by some elevated large claims and severe weather claims, the impact was less pronounced than 
during the same period last year. If delivered a fourth quarter insurance service result of EUR 248 million (214) and 
the combined ratio stood at 81.6 per cent (83.1). The undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.3 percentage 
points and the cost ratio reduced by 0.5 percentage points compared to the fourth quarter last year.

Premium development 
If reported GWP of EUR 5,860 million (5,468) in 2024. Excluding currency effects, premiums grew by 6.7 per cent 
year-on-year. Growth was robust across business areas and countries and driven primarily by re-pricing, increased 
values, and stable retention levels. Currency adjusted premium growth in the fourth quarter stood at 8.0 per cent 
(adjusted for changed inception dates in Industrial). 
Currency adjusted GWP growth in 2024 in Private was 6.5 per cent driven mainly by price increases covering 
claims inflation. The positive GWP development during the year was supported by 12 per cent growth in personal 
insurance, and 6 per cent growth in Private property insurance. Growth in the Private motor products was 
dampened by low new car sales volumes and stood at 5 per cent. Geographically, all countries contributed to 
growth with the Norwegian business being particularly strong. Currency adjusted premium growth in the fourth 
quarter was 8.3 per cent.
In 2024, new car sales remained weak with numbers down by 5 per cent year-on-year for the Nordics and 7 per 
cent for If’s largest market Sweden. Excluding the Swedish mobility business, currency adjusted GWP growth in 
2024 was 7.6 per cent in Private and 7.2 per cent for If P&C. 
Despite rate increases during the year, fourth quarter Private retention rate was stable at 89 per cent (89). The 
development of digital services and digital engagement in the Private business area remained strong in 2024, 
following consistent investments in this area over many years. Digital sales increased by 10 per cent during the 
year, and online claims continued to increase and stood at 64 per cent (61) at the end of the year.
Currency adjusted GWP growth in Commercial for 2024 was 5.6 per cent. The positive development was 
supported by successful renewals, continuous rate increases in line with claims inflation, and strong retention. 
Throughout the year, the SME segment grew by more than 5 percent, with growth accelerating towards the end of 
the year. Currency adjusted GWP growth in the fourth quarter was 5.4 per cent, supported by 8 per cent growth in 
the SME segment. 
In 2024, digital sales in Commercial increased by 24 per cent year-on-year. Strong momentum in online sales and 
accelerated expansion of the digital offering with increased usage of self-service solutions contributed to the 
positive development.
Industrial reported GWP growth of 9.5 per cent on a currency adjusted basis in 2024 mainly driven by rate actions, 
increased values, and a good renewals outcome. GWP growth in the fourth quarter amounted to 69 per cent and 
was positively affected by the change of inception date from the third quarter to the fourth quarter for a small 
number of large Industrial contracts. Excluding the effect from the inception date change, currency adjusted GWP 
growth was 13.3 per cent. During the quarter, Industrial continued to reduce exposures to specific large property 
risks to ensure lower large claims volatility. 
The Baltic business delivered currency adjusted GWP growth of 4.8 per cent in 2024. The development was driven 
by repricing initiatives but impacted by rising competition in the second half of the year. Currency adjusted 
premium growth in the fourth quarter stood at 3.1 per cent.
Combined ratio development 
If reported combined ratios of 83.1 per cent (83.1) and 81.6 per cent (83.1) for year 2024 and the fourth quarter, 
respectively. 
After a favourable large claims outcome in the first quarter of the year, the subsequent quarters saw adverse large 
claims development in both Industrial and Commercial. Large claims in the year were mainly driven by large 
property claims and had a 1.7 percentage points negative effect on the combined ratio. In the fourth quarter, the 
corresponding number was 0.9 percentage points.

During the year, severe weather events had a negative impact of 2.6 percentage points on the combined ratio. The 
first quarter of the year was the most severely affected due to an unusually harsh Nordic winter and Storm Ingunn. 
The fourth quarter saw more normal winter weather, with claims damage caused mainly by localised events. If’s 
large claims outcome is reported as a deviation against budget, while severe weather and natural catastrophe 
effects are disclosed in full. 
Prior year gains in the year stood at 5.1 per cent (5.3) and the risk adjustment and other technical effects had an 
impact of 1.3 percentage points (1.2). In the fourth quarter, prior year gains amounted to 5.5 per cent (5.0), driven 
by reserve releases from long-tailed lines. The risk adjustment and other technical effects amounted to 0.8 per cent 
(1.5). 
The discounting effect reduced to 2.8 per cent (3.4) and 2.9 per cent (4.1) for the full year and the fourth quarter 
respectively as a result of lower discount rates. 
In total, the risk ratio deteriorated by 0.2 percentage points year-on-year to 62.1 per cent (61.9) in 2024. The 
undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.3 percentage points year-on-year. In the fourth quarter, the risk 
ratio was 59.9 per cent (60.9), while the undiscounted adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.3 percentage points. 
The 2024 cost ratio improved to 20.9 per cent (21.2) which is in line with If P&C’s target for 2024–2026 of a ~20 
basis point yearly cost ratio reduction. The fourth quarter cost ratio stood at 21.6 per cent (22.2). Education and 
development costs are included in the cost ratio.

Net financial result 
For 2024, If’s net financial result fell to EUR 464 million (539), as the prior year benefited from exceptionally 
favourable conditions in the fourth quarter, but the mark-to-market return on investments remained at a 
respectable 6.0 per cent (8.3). The corresponding numbers for the fourth quarter were EUR 22 million (166) and 0.1 
per cent (4.1). 
At the end of December, the fixed income running yield was 4.3 per cent (4.2), unchanged from the third quarter. 
However, as a result of increased fixed income instruments’ market values, the mark-to-market yield decreased to 
4.1 per cent from 4.9 per cent at the end of 2023. This equated to an increase of 0.1 percentage points from the 4.0 
per cent reported at the end of the third quarter 2024.
In 2024 the unwind of discounting amounted to EUR -169 million (-180) and changes in discount rates had an 
impact of EUR -15 million (-136). In the fourth quarter the unwind of discounting was EUR -38 million (-62), and 
effect from changes in discount rates amounted to EUR 43 million (-214).
Profit before taxes 
In total, If reported profit before taxes of EUR 1,256 million (1,358) for 2024, representing a decrease of 8 per cent 
year-on-year. The profit before taxes was supported by improved underwriting profit and a strong investment 
result, but offset by lower net investment income and non-recurring costs of EUR 76 million related to the 
Topdanmark integration that were booked to the fourth quarter. For the fourth quarter, profit before taxes was 
EUR 187 million (369).

All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net basis.
Topdanmark delivered GWP of EUR 1,553 million (1,339) in 2024, representing an increase of 16 per cent year-on-
year driven by the acquisition of Oona Health and organic GWP growth of 8 per cent. The organic growth was 
driven by rate increases across all major product areas, positive net customer inflow, and specific rate adjustments 
on workers’ compensation effective from 1 July 2024 following the implementation of new legislation affecting the 
calculation of awarded compensations. The organic GWP growth rate trended positively over the year, rising to 8 
in the third quarter and 11 in the fourth quarter, as several actors on the Danish P&C insurance market increased 
prices to reflect higher claims costs. The reported GWP growth of 41 per cent in the fourth quarter benefited 
disproportionally from the acquisition of Oona Health, which accounted for almost three-quarters of the increase, 
as billing is heavily skewed toward the end of the year. Oona Health has been included in Topdanmark’s results 
from 1 December 2023. 
The combined ratio improved to 84.2 per cent (85.0), largely as a result of weather and large claims falling back 
into line with expected levels following an adverse outcome in the prior year. The underlying claims trend 
deteriorated for the full year, but turned slightly positive in the fourth quarter as rate increases caught up with 
elevated motor claims inflation, while motor claims frequency stabilised, albeit at a high level. The insurance service 
result increased to EUR 233 million (194) driven by the strong growth and an improved combined ratio. 
Topdanmark’s net financial result more than doubled to EUR 60 million (27), mainly as a result of mark-to-market 
effects on liabilities.
The 2024 result was affected by several one-off charges, including EUR 73 million for the integration with If and 
EUR 15 million of other transaction costs related to the acquisition of Topdanmark minority interests by Sampo in 
October (further details available in Other developments). Consequently, profit before taxes declined to EUR 137 
million (162) despite the strong development in the insurance service and net financial results.

All key figures in the table above are calculated on a net basis.
Hastings’ gross written premiums for 2024 increased by 23 per cent year-on-year on a constant currency basis to 
EUR 2,161 million (1,706), reflecting higher earned premiums from rate increases implemented, mainly during 2023, 
alongside increases in live customer policies (‘LCP’). Total LCP increased to 3.9 million, up 12 per cent year-on-year, 
largely due to new business competitiveness. Motor LCP increased by 8 per cent year-on-year, whilst home LCP 
grew by 34 per cent year-on-year.
During the year, Hastings has observed a moderate slow-down in overall claims inflation, from around the 12 per 
cent level seen during 2023, to the high single digit range. Claims frequencies in 2024 tracked below historically 
observed levels, reflecting specific underwriting and claims actions taken by Hastings, alongside favourable 
weather conditions and other market wide trends.
The underwriting result increased by 49 per cent to EUR 190 million (128) in 2024, reflecting a stronger loss ratio of 
61.6 per cent (63.3). Operating expenses increased in line with revenue growth, driven by higher acquisition 
expenses related to new business volume growth and by sustained investment into digital capabilities and 
customer servicing initiatives. As such Hastings’ operating ratio for the period improved to 88.5 per cent (89.8), 
with an operating ratio of 88.7 per cent (87.8) for the fourth quarter.
The net financial result decreased slightly to EUR 41 million (44), as a result of both lower interest rates and more 
modest rate changes that reduced both net investment income and the offsetting unwind of discount on insurance 
claim liabilities. 
As a result of the higher underwriting result, Hastings’ profit before taxes increased 49 per cent to EUR 193 million 
(129). Included within other items is EUR 47 million (41) of non-operational amortisation related to intangible assets 
identified on acquisition of the Hastings Group by Sampo plc in 2020, without which profit before taxes would 
have been EUR 239 million (171).

Financial position
Group solvency 
Sampo Group’s Solvency II ratio, net of the proposed dividend of EUR 1.70 per share, amounted to 177 per cent at 
the end of 2024, based on own funds of EUR 5,368 million (5,856) and solvency capital requirement of EUR 3,040 
million (3,217). The Solvency II coverage decreased from 182 per cent at the end of 2023, but remained at the same 
level as at the end of third quarter. During the fourth quarter, the solvency was supported by solid results, 
offsetting the negative effect from the restructuring charge related to Topdanmark integration. Sampo targets a 
Solvency II ratio of 150– 190 per cent.
Financial leverage position
Sampo Group’s financial leverage is calculated as Group financial debt divided by the sum of IFRS shareholders’ 
equity and financial debt. The Group targets financial leverage of below 30 per cent.
The Group’s shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 7,059 million and financial debt to EUR 2,596 million at the end 
of 2024, translating into a financial leverage of 26.9 per cent, up from 25.3 per cent at the end of 2023 but broadly 
unchanged from 26.8 per cent at the end of the third quarter. The increase from the prior year was driven by 
shareholders’ equity decreasing from EUR 7,687 million at the end of 2023, mainly due to capital deployment of 
EUR 800 million into buybacks and squeeze-out in connection with the Topdanmark exchange offer. Financial debt 
remained broadly unchanged during 2024. 
More information on Sampo Group’s outstanding debt issues is available at www.sampo.com/debtfinancing.

Public exchange offer for Topdanmark
On 17 June 2024, Sampo announced that Sampo and Topdanmark had entered into a combination agreement, 
pursuant to which Sampo would make a recommended best and final public exchange offer to acquire all of the 
outstanding shares in Topdanmark not already owned by Sampo. Under the terms of the offer, Topdanmark 
shareholders would receive 1.25 newly issued Sampo A shares in exchange for each share held in Topdanmark. 
On 8 July 2024, Sampo announced that all necessary regulatory approvals had been obtained for the exchange 
offer. Sampo’s Extraordinary General Meeting held on 9 July 2024 authorised the Board to resolve on a share issue 
to acquire Topdanmark shares. The offer period began on 9 August 2024 and expired on 9 September 2024. 
Based on the final result announced on 16 September 2024, Sampo received acceptances representing 
approximately 92.6 per cent of the entire share capital and total number of voting rights in Topdanmark, excluding 
Topdanmark’s treasury shares. Based on the final result, the Board resolved to issue 48,198,710 new Sampo A 
shares to Topdanmark shareholders. The new Sampo shares were listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen and the trading 
commenced on 18 September 2024. 
On 20 September 2024, Sampo commenced a compulsory acquisition of the 6,613,865 Topdanmark shares held by 
the remaining minority shareholders of Topdanmark in accordance with the Danish Companies Act and the VP rule 
book. The price per Topdanmark share offered in the compulsory acquisition was DKK 366.38, corresponding to 
1.25 times the Sampo closing share price of EUR 39.29 on Nasdaq Helsinki on 14 June 2024. The compulsory 
acquisition price thereby reflected the valuation of the Topdanmark shares (including the premium of 27 per cent) 
indicated in the announcement published on 17 June 2024. The total acquisition cost of the minority shares 
amounted to EUR 325 million. The compulsory acquisition was completed on 25 October 2024. Topdanmark shares 
were removed from trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen on 18 October 2024. Sampo will begin reporting on the 
delivery of synergies from the first quarter of 2025. 
Further information on the offer is available at www.sampo.com/topdanmark.
Shares and shareholders
Sampo’s total share count amounted to 538,247,772 shares at the end of 2024. During 2024, the share count 
increased by 36.5 million shares, driven by new shares issued in connection with the Topdanmark exchange offer 
but partly offset by share buybacks.
In September 2024, Sampo issued 48,198,710 new Sampo A shares to Topdanmark shareholders. The new shares 
represented approximately 8.76 per cent of all Sampo shares and approximately 8.75 per cent of the votes 
conferred by all Sampo shares immediately following the completion of the share Issue.
To reduce the dilution effect from the offer, Sampo had allocated EUR 800 million to share buybacks and the 
squeeze-out of Topdanmark minority shares as announced on 17 June 2024. As the first step of this capital 
deployment, Sampo launched a buyback programme of EUR 400 million, which started on 18 June 2024. Following 
the announcement of the result of the exchange offer on 16 September 2024, the programme was increased to 
EUR 475 million and extended to end no later than 30 November 2024 from the original end date of 31 October 
2024, as the total acquisition cost the Topdanmark minority shares amounted to EUR 325 million. 
The programme was completed on 29 November 2024 and in total, Sampo repurchased 11,747,690 shares at an 
average price of EUR 40.43, corresponding to 2.1 per cent of the total share count. Of this, 4.1 million shares were 
repurchased during the fourth quarter.  All repurchased shares were cancelled on 10 December 2024.
Further details on the company’s share buyback programmes is available at www.sampo.com/sharebuyback.

1 The Group solvency is calculated according to the consolidation method defined in the Solvency II Directive (2009/138/EC).
2 Share prices for 2023 have been adjusted to reflect the separation of Mandatum Group in the partial demerger.
3 Adjusted risk ratio illustrates the underlying underwriting performance as it excludes certain volatile effects such as large and 
severe weather and prior year development on risk ratio.
4 Undiscounted adjusted risk ratio excludes the effect from current year discounting on adjusted risk ratio and illustrates the 
underlying current year underwriting performance. 
The number of shares used at the reporting date was 538,247,772 and the average number during the financial period  512,114,448.

In the net asset value per share, the Group valuation difference on the listed subsidiary Topdanmark has been taken into account in 
the comparison year. At the end of the financial year 2024, Topdanmark was no longer a listed company.

Notes
Accounting principles
Sampo Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU. These interim financial statements are presented in accordance 
with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting principles and methods of computation are applied 
in this financial statement release as were applied in Sampo’s consolidated financial statements 2023, with the 
exception of  an addition to the accounting principles described below. 
The financial statements 2023 are available on Sampo’s website www.sampo.com/year2023.
Information presented in the Financial Statement Release is unaudited. 
Additions to the accounting principles 
Investment component
During the reporting period, investment components have been identified in reinsurance contracts held for cash 
flows repaid to a policyholder in all circumstances, i.e. regardless of whether an insured event occurs or not. 
Identified amounts of investment components are excluded from recognised amounts for reinsurance result in the 
statement of profit and other comprehensive income. 
Change in presentation
The accounting policies for presentation applied in the financial statement release are the same as those applied in 
the financial statements 2023, except for the updated accounting policy for the presentation of the change in 
discounting effect relating to risk adjustment. The change in discounting effect is now allocated between the 
insurance service expenses and insurance finance income or expenses. 
Accounting principles requiring management judgement and key 
sources of estimation uncertainties
Acquisition of Topdanmark’s non-controlling interests
On 17 June 2024, Sampo announced that Sampo and Topdanmark had entered into a combination agreement, 
based on which Sampo made  a recommended best and final public exchange offer to acquire all of the 
outstanding shares in Topdanmark not already owned by Sampo. The transaction was completed by the 
compulsory acquisition of the remaining Topdanmark non-controlling interest on 25 October 2024. Following the 
acquisition of NCI, Sampo plc sold all the issued shares in Topdanmark A/S to If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd. For 
more detailed description of the acquisition, please see  note 11.
In accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, after the control of a subsidiary has been gained, 
any subsequent change in the ownership, not resulting in a loss of control, is treated as an equity transaction 
between the non-controlling interests and the owners of the parent company (IFRS 10.23). The acquisition of non-
controlling interest of Topdanmark was accounted for as an equity transaction between the NCI and the owners of 
the parent. Transaction costs, which were incremental and directly related to equity transaction, were deducted 
directly from equity. The original purchase price allocation calculation (PPA), prepared at the time of the original 
acquisition in 2017 and including goodwill, remained unchanged. 
As the proportion of the equity held by the non-controlling interest changed, the carrying amounts of both the 
equity owners of the parent and the  non-controlling interests were adjusted to reflect the changes. The difference 
between the book value of the NCI and the consideration paid was recognised directly in equity (retained 
earnings) and attributed to the owners of the parent company. 
SAMPO GROUP RESULTS FOR 2024
36

===== SIDA 37 =====

Sampo will be allocating all of Topdanmark’s profits after the completion of the acquisition to the owners of the 
parent company. During the financial year, the NCI’s share of the profit was calculated as weighted average on 
their remaining share of ownership. 
Measurement of acquired Topdanmark shares 
Sampo has determined that the measurement of acquired Topdanmark A/S shares was based on the 
compensation given as an exchange of those shares. The issue price was determined based on the closing price of 
the Sampo class A shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on the last full trading day prior to the Sampo Board resolving 
upon the directed issuance of shares. For shares acquired via compulsory acquisition, the value of acquired shares 
was determined based on the compensation paid in cash. 
Sale of Topdanmark A/S shares to If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd
As the sale transaction of Topdanmark’s shares was an intra-group transaction, all impacts including the sales gain 
of the shares, were eliminated on the Sampo Group level.  The sale generated a sales gain as the previously owned 
shares were at their acquisition value in the balance sheet. The transaction was completed at arm’s length basis. 
The intra-group sale of shares met the definition of a common control transaction as both If P&C Insurance Holding 
Ltd and Topdanmark A/S are under control of Sampo plc before and after the acquisition. 
As part of the intra-group sales transaction, Sampo granted If P&C Insurance Holding loans denominated partly in 
currencies other than functional currencies either in Sampo or in If Group. IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign 
Exchange Rates enables to recognise exchange rate differences arising from a loan (monetary item) in other 
comprehensive income when that loan is included as part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Sampo has 
assessed that in its consolidated accounts, the long-term loan receivable forms a part of Sampo’s net investment in 
foreign operation i.e. investment in subsidiary shares in If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd.  
Segment presentation
At the end of the reporting period, Sampo Group’s business segments were If, Topdanmark, Hastings and Holding.  
Topdanmark continued to be presented as a business segment regardless of the intra-group sale of Topdanmark 
A/S shares. As Sampo presents reporting segments unchanged for the financial year 2024 reporting, no changes 
have been done to the allocation of goodwill to Topdanmark segment. 
Restructuring provision
Following the acquisition of non-controlling interests in Topdanmark, Sampo plc sold the shares of Topdanmark A/
S to If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd for further integration into If Group’s structure. In connection with the acquisition 
and the integration of Topdanmark into If Group, the one-off restructuring costs incurred amounted to 
approximately EUR 150 million. If and Topdanmark have estimated that requirements set in the IAS 37 Provisions, 
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets for a recognition of a provision were met at the end of the reporting 
period. The restructuring provision is recognised as it is probable that the restructuring costs will incur while 
carrying out the integration. These costs relate mainly to decommissioning and sunsetting of IT systems as well as 
rebranding.  
On Sampo Group level, the restructuring provision amounted to approximately EUR 150 million, of which EUR 77 
million was recognised in If’s segment and EUR 73 million in Topdanmark’s segment. In Sampo Group’s balance 
sheet, the restructuring provision is presented under other liabilities. 
Pillar II
Sampo Group is within the scope of Pillar II regulations (EU Minimum Tax Directive and OECD Safe Harbour rules). 
Sampo Group companies have applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for any 
potential impacts of the top-up tax and account for it as a current tax should it occur. Sampo Group will, as of 
fiscal year 2024, be subject to the global minimum top-up tax rules either at the ultimate parent entity level, by 
Sampo plc in Finland, or domestic top-up tax in the countries where Sampo Group companies operate and where 
such rules are enacted. At the reporting date, Sampo Group has identified that Hastings’ operations in Gibraltar are 
subject to the global minimum top-up tax rules.

Discontinued operations in 2023
In order to segregate Mandatum subgroup in the demerger of Sampo plc, Mandatum’s assets and liabilities were 
reclassified as a disposal group held for distribution to owners and related liabilities on 31 March 2023. In the 
statement of profit and other comprehensive income, the result of Mandatum is reported as a single line item as 
profit from the discontinued operations. 
The partial demerger was completed on 1 October 2023, and the first trading day for Mandatum on Nasdaq 
Helsinki was 2 October 2023. In the demerger, all the shares in Mandatum Holding Ltd (a wholly owned direct 
subsidiary of Sampo plc) and the related assets and liabilities were transferred without a liquidation procedure to 
Mandatum plc, a company incorporated in the demerger on the effective date. In addition, EUR 102 million of 
Sampo's general liabilities, not allocated to any specific business operations, were allocated to Mandatum plc. 
These liabilities cannot be legally transferred due to their nature, and therefore Sampo and Mandatum agreed on 
forming an equivalent debt relationship between them on 2 October 2023.

7 Determination and hierarchy of fair values 
A majority of Sampo Group's financial assets are valued at fair value. The valuation is based on either published 
price quotations or valuation techniques based on market observable inputs, where available. For a limited amount 
of assets the value needs to be determined using other techniques. The financial instruments measured at fair value 
have been classified into three hierarchy levels in the notes, depending on, for example, whether the market for the 
instrument is active, or if the inputs used in the valuation technique are observable.  The classification of financial 
assets in hierarchy levels is assessed quarterly. 
The fair value of the derivative instruments is assessed using quoted market prices in active markets, discounting 
method or option pricing models. 
The fair value of loans and other financial instruments which have no quoted price in active markets is based on 
discounted cash flows, using quoted market rates. The market’s yield curve is adjusted by other components of the 
instrument, e.g. by credit risk.
Fair values are "clean" fair values, i.e. less interest accruals.
On level 1, the measurement of the instrument is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 
liabilities. Quoted prices in active markets are considered to represent the best estimate of fair value for related 
financial assets. On an active market quoted prices  are easily and regularly available and represent actual and 
regularly occurring transactions at arm’s length distance. 
On level 2, inputs for the measurement of the instrument also include other than quoted prices observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly by using valuation techniques.
On level 3, the measurement is based on other inputs rather than observable market data. Sampo Group’s level 3 
assets consist mainly of few larger equity investments and investments in private equity and alternative funds.
In level 3 equity investment is valued by using excess return model, in which value of a company is sum of capital 
invested currently in the company and the present value of excess returns that the company expects to make in 
the future. 
For private equity funds the valuation of the underlying investments is conducted by the fund manager who has all 
the relevant information required in the valuation process. The valuation is usually updated quarterly based on the 
value of the underlying assets and the amount of debt in the fund. There are several valuation methods, which can 
be based on, for example, the acquisition value of the investments, the value of publicly traded peer companies, 
the multiple based valuation or the cash flows of the underlying investments.

The value of financial assets regarding the debt security instruments has been tested by assuming a rise of 1 per 
cent in interest rate level in all maturities. For other financial assets, the prices were assumed to go down by 20 per 
cent. 
During the reporting period, on the basis of  these alternative assumptions, a possible change in interest levels 
would cause a reduction of EUR -1 (-0) million for the debt instruments, and EUR -118 (-176) million valuation loss 
for other instruments in the Group’s statement of  profit or loss. The reasonably possible effect, proportionate to 
the Group’s equity, would thus be 1.7 (2.4) per cent.

9 Insurance contract liabilities
Insurance liabilities reflect the liability the Group has for its insurance undertakings, in other words, the insurance 
contracts underwritten. The liability consists of two parts, the liability for remaining coverage and acquisition cash 
flow assets as well as the liability for incurred claims. 
The liability for remaining coverage relates to the obligation to investigate and pay valid claims that have not yet 
occurred. The liability consists of the premium payments received for insurance services to be provided after the 
closing date, i.e. relating to the unexpired portion of the insurance coverage, and adjusted for acquisition cash 
flows. The liability for incurred claims relates to the obligation to investigate and pay valid claims that have 
occurred. The liability is designed to cover anticipated future payments for all claims incurred, including claims not 
yet reported.

11 Acquisition of Topdanmark’s non-controlling interest 
Background
On 17 June 2024, Sampo announced that Sampo and Topdanmark had entered into a combination agreement, 
based on which Sampo made  a recommended best and final public exchange offer to acquire all of the 
outstanding shares in Topdanmark not already owned by Sampo. The offer period began on 9 August 2024 and 
expired on 9 September 2024. The transaction was completed by the compulsory acquisition of the remaining 
Topdanmark minority shares on 25 October 2024. Topdanmark shares were removed from trading on Nasdaq 
Copenhagen on 18 October 2024. For more detailed description of the acquisition, please see sections Other 
developments. 
Compensation to non-controlling interests
During the tender offer process Sampo received acceptances representing approximately 92.6 per cent of the 
entire share capital and total number of voting rights in Topdanmark, excluding Topdanmark’s treasury shares. The 
Board resolved to issue 48,198,710 new Sampo A shares to the Topdanmark non-controlling shareholders and the 
subscription price for the new class A shares was EUR 41.50 per share. The price was determined based on the 
closing price of the Sampo class A shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the last full trading day prior to the Sampo 
Board resolving upon the directed issuance of shares. The share issue amounting to EUR 2,000 million was 
recognised in the invested unrestricted equity. 
Following the completion of tender process, Sampo commenced a compulsory acquisition of the 6,613,865 
Topdanmark shares held by the remaining non-controlling shareholders of Topdanmark. The total acquisition cost 
of the remaining minority shares amounted to EUR 325 million. Compensation was paid in cash. 
Equity transaction 
The transaction with the non-controlling interest is accounted for as an equity transaction in Sampo Group. The 
compensation paid to the NCI for their shares in Topdanmark A/S was recognised as a decrease in the retained 
earnings amounting to EUR 2,325 million. The portion of the NCI’s share in equity, amounting to EUR 394 million, 
was allocated to the owners of the parent company, and recognised as an increase in retained earnings. The total 
decrease of retained earnings amounted to EUR 1,931 million.   
The acquisition costs related to the equity transaction, amounting to EUR 31 million, were accounted for as a 
deduction from the equity. Overall, the transaction decreased Sampo Group’s total equity by EUR 356 million 
consisting of compensation paid in compulsory acquisition of EUR 325 million and transaction costs of EUR 31 
million. 
Valuation of Topdanmark A/S shares 
The measurement of acquired Topdanmark A/S shares was based on the compensation given as an exchange of 
those shares. For Topdanmark’s shares acquired via tender offer, the value of the acquired shares was determined 
based on the value of Sampo’s shares issued totalling EUR 2,000 million. For shares acquired via the compulsory 
acquisition, the value of acquired shares was determined based on the compensation paid in cash totalling EUR 
325 million.

Sale of Topdanmark A/S shares to If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd
On 1 November 2024, Sampo plc sold all the issued shares in Topdanmark A/S to If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd. The 
transaction was completed at arm’s length basis. The sale price, based on the recent market value of EUR 4,659 
million, equivalent to approximately DKK 34.7 billion, was paid through a loan agreement and a shareholder’s 
contribution between Sampo plc and If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd. On 1 November, the loan agreement, amounting 
to EUR 1,724 million, consisted of EUR nominated facility of EUR 862 million and DKK nominated facility of DKK 
6,432 million (approx. EUR 862 million). The remaining part of the purchase price was paid through a shareholder’s 
contribution amounting to SEK 34 029 million (approx. EUR 2,934 million) granted by Sampo plc to If Holding. The 
shareholder’s contribution was recognised as an increase in the carrying amount of If Holding’s shares in Sampo 
plc’s balance sheet. 
As the sale transaction of Topdanmark’s shares is an intra-group transaction, all impacts, including the sales gain of 
the shares, are eliminated on the Sampo Group level. The intra-group sale of shares meets the definition of a 
common control transaction as both If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd and Topdanmark A/S are under control of 
Sampo plc before and after the acquisition.

Topdanmark Group
In December 2022, Sampo plc´s subsidiary Topdanmark Forsikring A/S sold Topdanmark Liv Holding A/S and all 
its subsidiaries to Nordea Life Holding AB. On 1 May 2024, Topdanmark announced that Topdanmark Forsikring   
A/S had entered into an agreement with Nordea regarding the process for completion of the IT separation of 
Topdanmark Liv Holding A/S (today Nordea Pension Holding Danmark A/S). 
As announced by Topdanmark in the first quarter of 2024, Nordea Group has reserved the right to raise claims 
against Topdanmark Forsikring A/S for certain potential losses. At present, it is not possible for Topdanmark A/S 
to determine the size or existence of the potential losses, and thus it is not possible to assess whether they would 
constitute losses for which Topdanmark Forsikring A/S may be held liable under the signed Share Purchase 
Agreement (SPA). Currently, there is no new information on the potential claims, and thus the contingent liability 
remains.
