TrygVesta - Higher premium growth in 2007, revised return policy and Capital Markets Day



Higher premium growth in 2007
TrygVesta increases the premium growth in 2007 to 3.3% in local
currency from previously 3.0%. A change to Danish workers
compensation legislation and subsequent price increases from July 1,
2007 is the reason for the higher premium growth. Apart from higher
premium growth the Outlook for 2007 is reaffirmed a.o. the combined
ratio is expected at 89 and pre-tax profit is expected at DKK 2.7bn.
The medium term expectation is also reaffirmed i.e. a combined ratio
of 90-92 and a return on equity after tax of 19-21%.

Stock buy back to be part of the dividend policy
TrygVesta revises the dividend policy and going forward the cash
payout ratio will be 50% of the annual result after tax plus stock
buy backs for additional surplus capital. Previously the annual
distribution to shareholders was cash dividend only. The revised
dividend policy becomes effective with the cash distribution for
fiscal 2007. In the presentation material for the Capital Markets Day
the revised dividend policy is explained in greater detail.

Capital Markets Day
TrygVesta's Capital Markets Day (CMD) is held in Ballerup, Denmark
today. The purpose of the CMD is to furnish institutional investors
and analysts TrygVesta's performance, market environment, strategy,
overall actions plans and financial targets."TrygVesta wants to be perceived as the leading "peace of mind"
provider in the Nordic region and going forward we see new
opportunities in the "peace of mind" concept. This is our first
Capital Markets Day and a good occasion to update analysts and
institutional investors on our performance, opportunities and
challenges" says Stine Bosse, CEO.
