Strategische en operationele ontwikkelingen
Op 30 november 2015 kondigde Delta Lloyd een claimemissie aan om extra aandelenkapitaal aan te trekken. De claimemissie is onderdeel van een meeromvattend plan van managementacties en kapitaalmaatregelen, in combinatie met onze herziene strategie, om ervoor te zorgen dat Delta Lloyd sterk is gepositioneerd in het nieuwe Solvency II-tijdperk, dat per 1 januari 2016 in werking is getreden. Vandaag heeft Delta Lloyd een afzonderlijk persbericht gepubliceerd over de actuele situatie met betrekking tot de claimemissie en de voortgang van de aangekondigde managementacties. Dit persbericht is niet bestemd voor vrijgave, publicatie of verspreiding, direct of indirect, in of naar de Verenigde Staten, Canada, Australië of Japan of enige andere jurisdictie waar de distributie of vrijgave een overtreding van de wetgeving zou inhouden.

Onze strategische prioriteiten zijn gericht op de creatie van toekomstig waarde ten behoeve van onze klanten, aandeelhouders en andere stakeholders. Binnen de herziene strategie 'Dichter bij de klant' zullen wij de sterke punten van onze onderneming benutten en ons focussen op kapitaal- en kostenefficiency. Onze gediversifieerde leven- en schadeportefeuille, de versnelde transitie naar meer provisiegedreven en kapitaalextensieve activiteiten en de voortdurende inspanningen om onze balans te optimaliseren voor Solvency II versterken een efficiënt kapitaalgebruik.

Op basis van onze inzichten in wat er leeft bij klanten en onze track record als verzekeraar gaan wij ons richten op de ontwikkeling van geïntegreerde pensioenoplossingen voor individuele klanten en gaan wij onze capaciteit op het gebied van digitale dienstverlening en data analyse uitbreiden zodat wij onze klanten proactief en tijdig van relevant advies kunnen voorzien. Verder zullen wij duurzame, toekomstbestendige producten ontwikkelen die gericht zijn op het voorkomen van de nieuwe soorten risico's waarmee onze klanten te maken krijgen.

Leon van Riet voorgedragen voor Raad van Bestuur
De Raad van Commissarissen van Delta Lloyd heeft vandaag het voornemen aangekondigd Leon van Riet (51) te benoemen tot lid van de Raad van Bestuur. Leon van Riet volgt Onno Verstegen op, die per 1 februari 2016 is teruggetreden als lid van de Raad van Bestuur. De Nederlandsche Bank en de Autoriteit Financiële Markten hebben ingestemd met de voorgenomen benoeming van Leon van Riet.

Klanten
Delta Lloyd heeft een succesvolle onderneming opgebouwd rond de segmenten Leven, Schade en Asset Management, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van een multi-channel en multi-label platform met bekende en gerespecteerde merknamen zoals Delta Lloyd, BeFrank, OHRA en ABN AMRO Verzekeringen. Onze 4,2 miljoen klanten, en ook onze business partners, geven ons voortdurend hoge scores in klanttevredenheidsonderzoeken. De tevredenheid, met name op het niveau van dienstverlening van intermediairs waarmee wij samenwerken, is een belangrijke drijvende factor voor onze commerciële bedrijfsonderdelen in Nederland. Het pensioenbedrijf van Delta Lloyd scoorde in 2015 met 7,6 (2014: 7,6)[4] voor het vierde achtereenvolgende jaar het hoogst op klanttevredenheid bij intermediairs in de markt. BeFrank is in deze score meegenomen.

Het zakelijk schadebedrijf van Delta Lloyd eindigde in 2015 op de derde plaats qua tevredenheid van intermediairs. De algehele tevredenheid van intermediairs is verbeterd tot 7,3 (2014: 7,0). Gevolmachtigde agenten bestempelen de serviceniveaus van Delta Lloyd als de beste in de sector in Nederland. In het Klantbelang Centraal dashboard van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) behaalden wij in 2014 een gemiddelde score van 3,5 op een totaal van 5. Dit ligt boven het sectorgemiddelde van 3,4.

Om onze distributiekracht te versterken wordt het merk OHRA omgevormd in een volledig online schadeverzekeraar. Wij gaan ons bestaande portaal voor verkoop en dienstverlening aan zakelijke en particuliere klanten en brokers uitbreiden. Om een beter inzicht in de behoeften en wensen van onze klanten te krijgen, hebben wij het nieuwe onderdeel Klant, Merk & Digitaal opgezet. Dit is een direct uitvloeisel van onze strategie 'Dichter bij de klant'. Dit zal ons in staat stellen om sneller, efficiënter en actiever in te spelen op de behoeften van klanten en hen de juiste oplossingen te bieden.

Duurzaamheid
Delta Lloyd wil met haar kernactiviteiten een positieve duurzame impact realiseren, waarbij waarde wordt gecreëerd voor zowel de maatschappij als onze onderneming. In 2015 hebben wij een nieuwe duurzaamheidsstrategie vastgesteld. Deze strategie bestaat uit drie pijlers: verantwoord verzekeren, verantwoord beleggen en de Delta Lloyd Foundation. Wij beheren bijvoorbeeld het Triodos mandaat en hebben een nieuwe verzekeringsproduct gelanceerd voor wind- en getijdenenergie. In september 2015 werd Delta Lloyd opnieuw opgenomen in de Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World en in de DJSI Europe. Delta Lloyd behoort tot de beste verzekeraars wat betreft klantgerichtheid en integriteit. Het duurzaamheidsverslag van Delta Lloyd verschijnt op 23 maart 2016.

Delta Lloyd: update kapitaalplan, claimemissie van EUR 650 miljoen


Following today's publication of the Group's 2015 financial results and having made good progress on announced management actions and regulatory discussions, Delta Lloyd now confirms that it is seeking to raise EUR 650 million through the underwritten rights issue previously announced on 30 November 2015. In combination with identified management actions and capital measures, the rights issue will position Delta Lloyd's Solvency II standard formula (SF) ratio within its target range of 140-180%, reduce leverage and lead to an improved net cash and capital position in the Group holding company. Both the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board believe that the rights issue will position Delta Lloyd to return greater value to shareholders going forward through ongoing commitment to capital generation, resulting in an attractive cash dividend, while safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.



Progress on key steps in Delta Lloyd's capital enhancement plan

Clear progress since 30 November 2015 announcement:
Good commercial and operational performance in 2015, confirming that the business model is sound and offers upside
Q4 2015 SF ratio 131% (Q3 2015: 136%)
7%-points addition to solvency ratio (SF) achieved through management actions in Q4 2015
Addressed material Solvency II uncertainties, including most notably the treatment of LAC DT (subject to the rights issue)
Adverse impact of (14)%-points to the solvency ratio (SF) from revised treatment of longevity hedges
Updated capital plan:
Rights issue of EUR 650 million to deliver c. 25%-point addition to solvency ratio (SF)
Tangible management actions targeting c. 20%-point addition to solvency ratio (SF) in 2016, including ALM optimisation and intention to pursue a sale of the shareholding in Van Lanschot by way of a marketed offering
Ongoing commitment to capital generation:
Grow profitable capital light/reduce defined benefit business
Reduce operating expenses by 10% by 2018
Upgrade risk and capital management infrastructure, including the implementation of a Partial Internal Model by 2018
Focus on ALM to drive investment returns and reduce capital requirement
Re-fill pipeline of management actions on an ongoing basis
Expect to pay a targeted cash dividend of EUR 130 million for 2016


Hans van der Noordaa, chairman of the Executive Board: "Following months of analysis, today's announcement brings clarity to the amount of capital that we need to raise to reposition Delta Lloyd under Solvency II. We can see from today's 2015 financial results that the Group is performing strongly and producing good commercial and operational results. Our focus is to further improve our business and capital base in order to drive sustainable capital generation going forward. I am confident that, following the successful completion of the proposed rights issue, in addition to management actions and capital measures, we will be adequately capitalised to operate under Solvency II and better positioned to deliver shareholder value."



Strong progress since 30 November 2015 announcement

In the fourth quarter of 2015, Delta Lloyd made good progress on executing the near-term management actions announced on 30 November 2015, which contributed a 7%-point increase in the solvency ratio (SF). These completed management actions include the sale of the entire commercial real estate portfolio, the unwind of a securitisation transaction and the restructuring of the internal fee structure between the insurance subsidiaries and the asset management business.



Delta Lloyd also addressed regulatory uncertainties during the period, with clarity obtained from DNB for 2016 (excluding year end) on the Loss Absorbing Capacity of Deferred Taxes (LAC DT) (which refers to the level of contingent deferred tax, arising in the case of a 1-in-200 stress event, which is permitted as an offset against the solvency capital requirement (SCR)). This treatment depends on the improved capital position of the holding company post rights issue which will underpin the recovery plans for the Delta Lloyd Leven and Delta Lloyd Schade subsidiaries. The total eligible LAC DT amount of EUR 524 million at 31 December 2015, comprises EUR 437 million for Delta Lloyd Leven and Delta Lloyd Schade, EUR 87 million for ABN AMRO Verzekeringen and zero for Delta Lloyd Life Belgium.



Adjustments were also made to the SF treatment of Delta Lloyd's longevity hedge transactions entered into in 2014 and 2015. Following an onsite review by DNB in December 2015, Delta Lloyd has excluded mitigating effects on the risk margin beyond the current contract duration of 8 years. This resulted in an impact on the solvency ratio (SF) of (14)%-points compared to the solvency ratio (SF) at Q3 2015. Maintaining the risk margin benefit for the period up to 8 years is subject to a restructuring of the hedge to ensure reinsurance treatment - absent this there would be a further adverse impact of (7)%-points. The current SCR benefit is retained, subject to moving to a Partial Internal Model by 2018. Although the outcome of the longevity treatment under Solvency II was disappointing, the Boards believe that it has given a greater clarity on the amount of capital required and now feel comfortable that Delta Lloyd has drawn a line under the major areas of uncertainty specific to the Group. The solvency ratio (SF) at Q4 2015 is 131%.



Capital plan including EUR 650 million rights issue

Notwithstanding the additional management actions and greater regulatory clarity outlined above, Delta Lloyd still requires additional capital to ensure that it is sufficiently capitalised under Solvency II, and is in a position to operate with appropriate leverage, capital and liquidity at the holding company level. However, the Boards have determined that this capital raising should be in an amount EUR 650 million. This amount reflects the impact of positive business performance, planned and executed management actions and is further enhanced by Solvency II clarity. The rights issue is expected to add c. 25%-points to the solvency ratio (SF), with the year-end solvency ratio (SF) pro forma for the rights issue expected to be c. 155%.



Management has identified additional management actions targeted to deliver a c. 20%-point addition to the solvency ratio (SF) in 2016. Delta Lloyd has informed Van Lanschot of its intention to pursue a sale of its shareholding in Van Lanschot by way of a marketed offering in the course of 2016. Van Lanschot has agreed to facilitate this process and to cooperate. This approach is expected to lead to a significant increase in the liquidity of the Van Lanschot stock and high quality execution by Delta Lloyd. Further specific management actions are in place for Asset & Liability Management optimisation and reducing volatility by addressing inefficiencies in the investment portfolio. These actions are expected to deliver a further 10-15%-points to the solvency ratio (SF) in 2016, in addition to the Van Lanschot related improvement of c. 8%-points.



Future capital generation and delivery of shareholder value

Delta Lloyd's is targeting a run-rate of Solvency II capital generation of EUR 200-250 million per annum. The Boards expect that this will enable the Group to pay a targeted cash dividend of EUR 130 million for 2016, subject to internal Solvency II thresholds, with a goal to increase cash generation and dividends over time.



Delta Lloyd has an agenda of ongoing improvements to generate enhanced shareholder returns. Delta Lloyd continues to grow in profitable, capital light business, focusing on disciplined thresholds for new business and reducing the back-book. There is an ongoing commitment to operational cost discipline, especially in relation to managing the DB back-book in the most efficient way possible. Delta Lloyd is committed to reducing operational costs below EUR 560 million in 2018. The Group will strengthen its risk and capital management infrastructure by investing in necessary resources. By 2018, it plans to move to a Partial Internal Model for Solvency II reporting. The Group will focus on ALM to drive investment returns and reduce capital requirements. Finally, management will continue to identify management actions on an ongoing basis to become more capital efficient and thereby free up capital.



Transaction Information

The rights issue will be effected by granting transferable subscription rights to shareholders of Delta Lloyd. Subject to applicable securities laws, such rights will entitle Delta Lloyd shareholders to subscribe for ordinary shares. The terms (including price per new ordinary share) will be announced in due course and set forth in a prospectus for the rights issue.



Delta Lloyd is party to a standby underwriting commitment with Goldman Sachs International (Global Coordinator), BofA Merrill Lynch and Barclays, acting as Joint Bookrunners, pursuant to which they undertake to underwrite the rights issue amount, subject to customary conditions. The rights issue has been submitted for the approval of our shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 16 March 2016.
