Journey Forward
Legal Disclaimer
Certain statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements, notwithstanding that such statements are not specifically identified. In addition,
certain statements may be contained in the future filings of the Company with the competent securities regulators or other authorities, in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by or with the
approval of the Company that are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Rather, they are based on current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of
which are outside the Company's control and are difficult to predict, that may cause actual results or developments to differ materially from any future results or developments expressed or implied by the forward-
looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and
uncertainties about its impact and duration; (ii) local, regional, national and international economic conditions, including the risks of a global recession or a recession in one or more of the Company's key markets,
and the impact they may have on the Company and its customers and its assessment of that impact; (iii) financial risks, such as interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk (in particular as against the U.S. dollar,
the Company's reporting currency), commodity risk, asset price risk, equity market risk, counterparty risk, sovereign risk, liquidity risk, inflation or deflation, including inability to achieve the Company's optimal net
debt level; (iv) continued geopolitical instability, which may result in, among other things, economic and political sanctions and currency exchange rate volatility, and which may have a substantial impact on the
economies of one or more of the Company's key markets; (v) changes in government policies and currency controls; (vi) continued availability of financing and the Company's ability to achieve its targeted coverage
and debt levels and terms, including the risk of constraints on financing in the event of a credit rating downgrade; (vii) the monetary and interest rate policies of central banks; (viii) changes in applicable laws,
regulations and taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; (ix) limitations on the Company's ability to contain costs and expenses; (x) the Company's expectations with respect to expansion plans, premium
growth, accretion to reported earnings, working capital improvements and investment income or cash flow projections; (xi) the Company's ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a
timely, cost-effective basis; (xii) the effects of competition and consolidation in the markets in which the Company operates; (xiii) changes in consumer spending; (xiv) changes in pricing environments; (xv) volatility in
the prices of raw materials, commodities and energy; (xvi) difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees; (xvii) regional or general changes in asset valuations; (xviii) greater than expected costs (including
taxes) and expenses; (xvix) the risk of unexpected consequences resulting from acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, corporate reorganizations or divestiture plans, and the Company's ability to successfully
and cost-effectively implement these transactions and integrate the operations of businesses or other assets it has acquired; (xx) the outcome of pending and future litigation, investigations and governmental
proceedings; (xxi) natural or other disasters, including widespread health emergencies, cyberattacks, military conflicts and political instability; (xxii) any inability to economically hedge certain risks; (xxiii) an inability to
complete any strategic options with respect to the Company's Asian Pacific businesses; (xxiv) inadequate impairment provisions and loss reserves; (xxv) technological changes and threats to cybersecurity; and (xxvi)
the Company's success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Many of these risks and uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any worsening of the global business and
economic environment as a result. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary
statements referenced above. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made.
The Company's statements regarding financial risks are subject to uncertainty. For example, certain market and financial risk disclosures are dependent on choices about key model characteristics and assumptions
and are subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market or financial risk disclosures are only estimates and, as a result, actual future gains and losses could differ materially from those that have
been estimated. Subject to the Company's obligations under Belgian and U.S. law in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This document shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any
offer, solicitation or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. By attending the
meeting where this presentation is made, or by reading the presentation slides, you agree to be bound by the above limitations.
