Press release

Hannover Re Group receives BaFin approval for its internal capital model

Hannover, 5 August 2015: Following intensive preparations, the Hannover Re
Group has received the approval of the Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority (BaFin) to calculate its solvency capital requirements according
to its internal capital model with the implementation of Solvency II. This
model has been successfully used for the risk management and steering of
the Hannover Re Group for several years and covers the most important risk
categories, namely underwriting risk, market risk and counterparty default
risk.

"With our internal capital model, compared to the standard model, we can
best reflect the risk structure of our reinsurance business and also
efficiently implement the supervisory capital requirements within the
Solvency II framework", Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Wallin explained.

According to the upcoming Solvency II guidelines the capital adequacy ratio
as of 31 December 2014 continues to be at a comfortable level above 250%.
