The issue of new shares to fund the acquisition of AmerUs was effected by a share placing. The placing structure utilised attracted merger
relief under section 131 of the Companies Act 1985, resulting in a credit to the merger reserve of £871 million. Subsequent internal
transactions required to complete the placing structure have resulted in this part of the merger reserve being realised. Consequently,
atransfer of £871 million has been made from the merger reserve to retained earnings.
