DGAP-Ad-hoc: Allianz SE / Key word(s): Share Buyback/Legal Matter With respect to the pending court and governmental proceedings in the U.S. in relation to the Structured Alpha Funds Allianz anticipates settlements with major investors in those Funds shortly. In anticipation thereof and in light of current discussions with U.S. governmental authorities Allianz today decided to book a provision of EUR 3.7 billion in the financial statements 2021. This provision reduced the 2021 Group net income by EUR 2.8 billion. The anticipated settlements are an important step towards a resolution of the various proceedings. Discussions with remaining plaintiffs, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission remain ongoing and the timing and nature of any global or coordinated resolution of these matters is not certain. Therefore, as of today, the total financial impact of the Structured Alpha matter cannot be reliably estimated and Allianz SE expects to incur additional expenses before these matters are finally resolved. In fiscal 2021 operating profit of Allianz Group increased by 24.6% to EUR 13.4 billion. Shareholder's net income declined by 2.9% to EUR 6.6 billion. The Solvency II ratio reached 209%. In line with the dividend policy announced on 2nd December 2021 the Board of Management intends to propose a dividend in the amount of EUR 10.80 per share after EUR 9.60 last year. Allianz SE has further resolved today on a new share buy-back program for 2022. The volume of such new program will amount to up to EUR 1 billion. Allianz SE will cancel all repurchased shares.
