Talanx AG realigning German life insurance business - goodwill in German
life insurance business of EUR 155 million written off in full - Group net
income of between EUR 600 million and EUR 650 million forecast - proposed
dividend to be unaffected by goodwill impairment

As part of a realignment of its German life insurance business, the Talanx
Group split Board of Management responsibilities for the life insurance and
property/casualty lines in the Retail Germany Division in the second
quarter. As a result of this split, goodwill will be monitored at the level
of the two lines individually, in contrast to the past. Consequently, the
goodwill of EUR 155 million attributable to the German life insurance
business has been written off in full. Taking this impairment loss into
account, Talanx is expecting Group net income of between EUR 600 million
and EUR 650 million for the current financial year. The Board of
Management's proposed dividend for financial year 2015 will remain
unaffected by the goodwill impairment. From today's perspective, it will
thus be based on an as-if IFRS net income of between EUR 755 million and
EUR 805 million at a pay-out ratio of 35% to 45%.
