Disclaimer

This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on current assumptions and

forecasts of the management of Munich Re. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could lead to material differences between the forward-looking statements given here and the actual development, in particular the results, financial situation and performance of our Company. Obvious fluctuations in

the incidence of major losses as well as pronounced volatility of the capital markets and exchange rates - as well as the special features of IFRS accounting make an accurate forecast of results impossible. Moreover, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the further development of the coronavirus pandemic. The Company assumes no liability to update these forward-lookingstatements or to make them conform

to future events or developments. Figures from Q1 2019 onwards are restated reflecting the new cost- allocation method.
