IR policy

1. Ambitions

In Storebrand we believe it is important to have extensive and efficient communication with financial markets. A frequent and reliable dialogue with owners, investors and analysts, both in Norway and internationally, is a priority for Storebrand.

Storebrand's Investor Relations policy is based on Storebrand's core values. Our goal is to be:

Reliable
We shall provide correct and balanced information, both in written and oral communication. We will treat investors equally. We will not misuse sensitive information.

Enabling
We shall satisfy financial markets' demand for insight and understanding of Storebrand's business operations through transparent, accessible and correct information. Our Investor Relations team shall have in-depth knowledge of our own business and relevant market trends.

Easy to work with
We shall ensure that all information provided, both written and oral, is broadly distributed and presented in a clear and concise form. We shall be easily accessible by telephone, email, Internet or other types of communication, and we will respond in a timely fashion.

Forward-looking
Our Investor Relations team will work continuously to improve the way we work and communicate with financial markets. We will review and respond to comments and feed-back on how we can improve our Investor Relations service.

2. Operational guidelines

In addition to the general principles, Storebrand has outlined the following guidelines for the Investor Relations department's daily activities:

All information available in English and Norwegian simultaneously
Storebrand relates to both domestic and international financial markets, and market communication shall therefore be provided in both Norwegian and English.

Multi-channel distribution of important market information
Important market information shall be distributed through the Oslo Stock Exchange, HUGIN, Storebrand's IR web site and our IR mailing lists. When relevant, press releases from Storebrand's Information department will also be distributed to investors.

Important market information preferably to be released before market opens
To avoid the potential problem of market players getting information at different times when the market is open, we will, to the extent possible, release price sensitive information when the Oslo Stock Exchange is closed.

Updated and extensive Investor Relations web site
Our Investor Relations web site (www.storebrand.no/ir) shall be continuously updated and contain extensive new and historical information, relevant to investors and analysts.

Swift response to telephone or email enquiries
We shall respond promptly to all enquiries during office hours. When required we shall also give due response after normal office hours.

Capital markets day biannually
We will arrange a capital markets day biannually.

Senior management availability
Upon request, we will prioritise face-to-face meetings with market representatives. Storebrand Investor Relations will seek to include senior management in these meetings whenever possible.

All market participants, investors and analysts, are welcome to make use of the services provided by Storebrand Investor Relations.
