AWD publishes planned figures for 2012 

• Advisor growth to boost revenue and earnings 
• Revenue to reach approximately €1 billion 
• EBIT target of €130 million 

Hanover, 2 December (AWD Holding AG). AWD Holding AG has today published
its planned figures for the year 2012 of Swiss Life’s Investors’ Day.

According to AWD’s planning, the most important value driver, the number of
advisors, will continue to grow until 2012. It is planned that a total of
approximately 8,500 advisers will be following AWD’s approach of holistic
financial advice by then. Based on growing advisor capacities, the AWD
Group will further expand its market presence. The planning forecasts that
approximately 300,000 new customers and a total of some 750,000 advised
customers will have taken advantage of the best-select advisory approach in
the year 2012.

The rising need for private pension planning and the expected growth of
AWD’s value drivers are the foundation for these revenue and earnings
projections. They call for the AWD Group to achieve revenue of €1 billion
in 2012 and set an operating-profit ( EBIT) target of €130 million in 2012.
