significantly from the previous year's first nine months. Combined ratio        
improved to 84.4 per cent (90.5) supported by positive large claims outcome and 
favourable frequency development.                                               

In Sweden the combined ratio deteriorated due to a worse large claims outcome to
92.7 per cent (86.4). In Finland the combined ratio increased to 88.1 per cent  
(86.3) and in Norway to 94.4 per cent (90.6). In Denmark the combined ratio     
improved from the comparison period to 91.6 per cent (125.7) due to a normalized
large claim situation compared to previous year.                                

Gross premiums written increased to EUR 3,317 million (3,279). The premium

capital amounted to EUR 2,613 million on 30 September 2008 (2,681). The solvency
ratio - solvency capital in relation to net premiums written - was 70 per cent  
(71). If's reserve ratios were 173 per cent (170) of net premiums written and   
252 per cent of claims paid (261) compared to the year-end.

the divestment of the run-off businesses, by completing the divestment of a     
Florida-based reinsurance company Capital Assurance. Net income from investments
for the third quarter includes a sales loss of approximately EUR 6 million from

Profit before taxes in life insurance for the first nine months of 2008         
decreased to EUR 114 million (298). Net investment income, excluding income on  
unit-linked contracts, amounted to EUR 235 million (468). Net investment income 
from unit-linked investments decreased to EUR -330 million (98). The fair value 
reserve decreased EUR 323 million from the beginning of the year and was EUR -34
million on 30 September 2008 (289). Return on equity (RoE) in life insurance    
fell to -51.6 per cent (18.8).                                                  

Mandatum Life Group's investment assets, excluding the assets of EUR 1.8 billion
(2.1) covering unit-linked liabilities, amounted to EUR 5.0 billion (5.7) at    
market values on 30 September 2008. Fixed income covered 76 per cent (73),      
equity 21 per cent (25) and real estate 3 per cent (3) of the total assets.     
Equity investments include direct equity holdings, equity funds and private     
equity. The return on investments for the first nine months of 2008 was -4.1 per
cent at market values (5.9). At the end of September 2008 the duration of fixed 
income assets was 2.4 years (1.9).                                              

After the sale of Sampo Bank in early 2007, Mandatum Life has invested in IT    
infrastructure and some other back-up activities previously performed by the    
Bank. This together with the investments in the proprietary sales organization  
has led to an increase in Mandatum Life Group's expense ratio to 112 per cent   
(107). However, if all fee income is taken into account, the expense ratio was  
clearly below 90 per cent.                                                      

Mandatum Life Group's solvency capital was EUR 528 million (846) on 30 September
2008. Solvency ratio decreased to 10.6 per cent (16.5). Total technical reserves
amounted to EUR 6.3 billion (6.7), from which unit-linked reserves accounted for
EUR 1.8 billion (2.1). The share of unit-linked reserves of total technical     
reserves was 28 per cent (31).                                                  

In the first nine months of 2008 Mandatum Life Group's premium income on own    
account amounted to EUR 381 million (430). Premiums in the focus area,          
unit-linked insurance, decreased to EUR 212 million (288) and the share of      
unit-linked premiums was 55 per cent of total premiums (66). Especially         
investment policy sales were affected by difficult market conditions and by     
Sampo Bank's slow return to normal sales performance. Proprietary sales channels
performed well and corporate policy sales stayed at previous year's level.      

Mandatum Life's market share in unit-linked insurance in Finland decreased to   
20.9 per cent (22.0). Mandatum Life's overall market share measured by premium  
income was 19.2 per cent (19.3).                                                

Uncertain capital market conditions also reflected in the Baltic life insurance 
markets. Premium income from the Baltics decreased to EUR 25 million (42).

Sampo plc owns and controls its subsidiaries engaged in P&C and life insurance. 
In addition Sampo plc held on 30 September 2008 approximately 11 per cent of    
Nordea's share capital and votes and had more than a billion euros in cash or   
equivalent.

Shares and share capital                                                        

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to acquire in one or several    
lots a maximum of 50,000,000 Sampo A shares. The shares can also be acquired in 
a proportion differing from the proportions of shares owned by the shareholders.
The share price will be no higher than the highest price paid for Sampo shares  
in public trading at the time of purchase. The authorisation will be valid until
the close of the next Annual General Meeting, nevertheless not more than 18     
months after AGM's decision.                                                    

Based on the aforementioned authorisation, Sampo plc's Board of Directors       
decided on 7 May 2008 to repurchase Sampo A shares with distributable capital   
and reserves. Maximum amount to be repurchased is 50,000,000 A shares,          
corresponding to approximately 8.6 per cent of the total number of shares. The  
shares are acquired through public trading on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki at market 
price prevailing at the time of repurchase.                                     

In the third quarter of 2008 Sampo plc repurchased 443,500 of its own A shares, 
corresponding to 0.08 per cent of the total amount of shares and votes. A total 
of EUR 7.4 million was used for the purchases at an average price of EUR 16.66  
per share.                                                                      

On 30 September 2008 Sampo plc's share capital amounted to EUR 98 million (98), 
and the number of A shares was 570,615,890. The total number of shares of the   
company, including 1,200,000 B shares, was 571,815,890.                         


Share capital after the end of the reporting period                             

On 7 October 2008 Sampo received a disclosure according to which the Board of   
Directors of Exista hf. had decided on 6 October 2008 to engage Citigroup Global
Markets Limited and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc to conduct an        
accelerated book built offering of 114,257,867 Sampo A shares held by Exista hf.
and its subsidiaries. The shares represented 19.98 per cent of the share capital
of Sampo plc. According to the information Sampo has received the shares were   
purchased by more than 150 institutions, the vast majority of which is          
non-Finnish. In the transaction no investor was allocated more than 10 per cent 
of the shares sold.                                                             

Based on the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 15 April    
2008, Sampo plc's Board of Directors decided on 7 October 2008 to repurchase 10 
million Sampo A shares with distributable capital and reserves by participating 
in the afore-mentioned book built offering. The amount repurchased corresponds  
to approximately 1.7 per cent of the total number of shares. Repurchases        
decrease the distributable capital and reserves.                                

The shares were not acquired in the proportion in which the shareholders'       
shareholdings are distributed. The price paid was 11.50 euros per share. Shares 
were purchased from Exista hf. and its subsidiaries, because of the low         
transaction costs and the price lower than in public trading.                   

The shares purchased on the basis of this decision will be cancelled, and       
therefore the purchase will benefit all shareholders in proportion to their     
holding. At the time of this decision the situation in the financial markets was
exceptionally uncertain. In the Board's opinion the above purchase is in the    
interest of all shareholders. The purchase also prevents an overliquidity       
situation in the markets. On the basis of the above, weighty financial reasons  
for repurchases referred to Companies Act exist.                                

On 8 October 2008 Exista hf. notified Sampo in accordance with Chapter 2 Section
9 of the Securities Market Act Exista hf.'s holding in Sampo plc had fallen     
below 5 per cent of the shares and votes of Sampo plc and was 0 per cent on 7   
October 2008.                                                                   

On 22 October Sampo received a disclosure in accordance with Chapter 2 Section 9
of the Securities Market Act regarding Sampo plc's shares. The State of Finland 
and Solidium Oy (Business ID 0866693-1) announced an arrangement that, if       
completed, will lead to a situation in which the portions of holdings of the    
State of Finland will decrease below and the portions of holdings of Solidium Oy
will increase above the thresholds as intended in Chapter 2, Section 9 of the   
Securities Markets Act in Sampo. The 79,280,080 Sampo A shares to be transferred
represent 13.86 per cent of the total amount of shares in Sampo plc.            

On 5 November 2008 Sampo plc holds 10,443,500 of its own A shares corresponding 
to 1.8 per cent of the total amount of shares and votes in the company. The     
average price paid was EUR 11.72 per share and all in all EUR 122 million was   
used for the repurchases.                                                       


Staff                                                                           

Sampo Group's full-time equivalent staff on 30 September 2008 amounted to 7,549 
employees compared to 6,965 employees on 31 December 2007.                      

At the end of September 2008 approximately 93 per cent of the staff worked in   
P&C insurance, 6 per cent in life insurance and 1 per cent in the holding       
company. Geographical division of the staff was the following: 29 per cent      
worked in Finland, 25 per cent in Sweden, 22 per cent in Norway and 24 per cent 
in the Baltics, Russia and other countries. The number of personnel increased   
mostly in If P&C's Russian operations and Mandatum Life's Finnish operations.   

The average number of employees during the first nine months of 2008 was 7,029  
compared to 6,838 employees during the same period of time in 2007.             


Management long-term incentive schemes                                          

The payout on Sampo Group's long-term management incentive schemes is dependent 
on Sampo's financial and share price performance.                               

The incentive schemes 2005II - 2008II extend to 2011. The incentive schemes     
increased staff costs in the third quarter of 2008 by EUR 0.2 million (0.02) and
on 30 September 2008 the total provision for the schemes was EUR 2 million (20).

The ‘Sampo 2006' share-based incentive scheme increased staff costs by EUR 0.7  
million (1) in the third quarter of 2008. The total provision for the scheme on 
30 September 2008 was EUR 7 million (5).

All the main ratings for Sampo Group companies remained unchanged in the third  
quarter of 2008.

Group solvency                                                                  

The Group solvency is based on adjusted solvency calculations for insurance     
groups according to the Decree of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health     
(1106/2000), Chapter 7.1 §. The adjusted solvency is determined on the basis of 
the Group financial statements as permitted by the Insurance Supervisory        
Authority.                                                                      

The Group's solvency ratio (own funds in relation to minimum requirements for   
own funds) on 30 September 2008 was 655.9 per cent (774.6).

In Sampo Group, and in its insurance subsidiaries, risks are measured and       
aggregated internally using an economic capital framework, which quantifies the 
amount of capital required to protect the economic solvency over a one year time
horizon at a confidence level equalling the historic bond defaults of AA-rated  
issuers.                                                                        

The economic capital tied up in Group's operations on 30 September 2008 was EUR 
3,187 million (3,395). During the third quarter of 2008 the economic capital    
requirement decreased for If P&C by EUR 36 million due to lower market risks and
increased for Mandatum Life by EUR 61 million due higher insurance and credit   
risk.                                                                           


Outlook for the rest of 2008                                                    

During the last few weeks governments and regulators have set up plans to       
guarantee bank liabilities, increased the levels of deposit insurance and       
injected significant amounts of capital into the financial system. These        
policies go a long way to resolve the immediate financial crisis. Whether they  
are sufficient and effective in preventing the world from sliding into a deep   
recession remains to be seen.                                                   

Sampo Group has positioned itself to face an economic downturn by reducing      
equity weights in its insurance subsidiaries and by keeping a large part of its 
fixed-income investments in liquid assets.                                      

Sampo Group's result for 2008 will of course depend on investment markets, which
are unlikely to improve in the short term. Changes in the market values of      
Group's investment assets are, however, recorded in the fair value reserve in   
the balance sheet rather than reflected in reported profits, except for         
derivative instruments reported through the profit and loss account.            

The insurance technical development in P&C insurance is not expected to suffer  
from the economic downturn but remain sound in 2008. If P&C is expected to reach
its long-term combined ratio target of below 95 per cent and to achieve a       
combined ratio of 91 - 93 per cent for the full year 2008.                      

Mandatum Life Group is not expected to achieve the exceptionally high profits of
2006 and 2007. Full-year 2008 reported results are expected to remain reasonably
good, although uncertainty in the capital markets makes it extremely challenging
to issue exact guidance for last quarter's profit.                              

Sampo plc has investment assets of EUR 3.7 billion, of which approximately 2.4  
billion euros are invested in Nordea. Remaining funds are mainly invested in    
liquid money market instruments.                                                

The biggest risks for the outlook are a further severe weakening of equity      
markets, particularly in Nordic financials, and a sudden rise in interest rates 
or widening of credit spreads, which would in the short term cause valuation    
losses. However, Sampo Group's equity capital on 30 September 2008 exceeded the 
economic capital required to manage the operations and to hold its present      
assets by approximately EUR 3 billion and Sampo can therefore well sustain all

¹) Sampo plc's sales gain (EURm 2,830) arising from the disposal of the share   
stock of Sampo Bank plc to Danske Bank A/S is included in the comparison Group  
key figures.                                                                    

²) The Group solvency is based on adjusted solvency calculations for insurance  
groups according to the Decree of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health     
(1106/2000), Chapter 7.1 §. The adjusted solvency is determined on the basis of 
the Group financial statements as permitted by the Insurance Supervisory        
Authority.                                                                      

³) The key figures for P&C Insurance are based on activity based costs and      
cannot, therefore, be calculated directly from the consolidated income          
statement. The result analysis of P&C insurance is presented in note 13.        

In calculating the per share key figures, the number of shares used at the      
balance sheet date was 571,372,390 and the average number of shares during the  
period 571,932,689. The treasury shares held by Sampo plc (443,500) have been   
deducted from the number of shares at the balance sheet date. In the average    
number of shares, the treasury shares cancelled on 16 May 2008 have also been   
taken into account (6,715,000).                                                 

In calculating the key figures, the tax corresponding to the result for the     
accounting period has been taken into account. The valuation differences of     
investment property and held-to-maturity debt securities have been taken into   
account in return on assets, return on equity, equity/assets ratio and net asset
value per share. Additionally, the change in fair value reserve has been taken  
into account in return on assets and return on equity. A deferred tax liability 
has been deducted from the valuation differences.                               

The key figures for the insurance business have been calculated in accordance   
with the decree issued by the Ministry of Finance and the specifying regulations
and instructions of the Insurance Supervisory Authority.

In the statements, the net cash derived from the disposal of Banking and        
investment services, is included in the cash flow from investing activities.    

The cash flow statement reports cash flows during the period classified by      
operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows are reported by using 
the indirect method. Cash flows from operating activities derive primarily from 
the principal revenue-producing activities. Cash flows from investments in      
subsidiaries and associated undertakings and those from investments in          
intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are presented in investing  
activities. Financing activities include cash flows resulting from changes in   
equity and borrowings in order to conduct the business. Cash and cash           
equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits (under 3
months).

Investment contracts do not include a provision for claims outstanding.         
Liability adequacy test does not give rise to supplementary claims. Exemption   
allowed in IFRS 4 Insurance contracts has been applied to investment contracts  
with DPF or contracts with a right to trade-off for an investment contract with 
DPF. These investment contracts have been valued like insurance contracts.
