Notice of Intention

Notice of intention to apply to the Federal Court of Australia for confirmation of a scheme under Division 3A of Part III of the Insurance Act 1973 (Cth) for the transfer of the insurance business of the Australian Branch of AXA Corporate Solutions Assurance to the Australian Branch of XL Insurance Company SE.

Notice is given that the Australian branch of XL Insurance Company SE ABN 36 083 570 441 (XLICSE) proposes to make an application to the Federal Court of Australia (Court) at Sydney for orders confirming a scheme under Division 3A of Part III of the Insurance Act 1973 (Cth) (Act) to transfer the insurance business of the Australian branch of AXA Corporate Solutions Assurance ABN 95 138 904 284 (ACSA) to XLICSE (Scheme).

ACSA is a limited liability company incorporated in France and XLICSE is a societas europaea (public limited liability company) incorporated in Ireland. Both the Australian branches of ACSA and XLICSE are regulated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and authorised under the Act to carry on insurance business in Australia.

Should the Scheme be confirmed by the Court, XLICSE will be substituted for ACSA under policies issued or underwritten by ACSA.

Any policyholder who may be affected by the Scheme (Affected Policyholders) has the right to:

• obtain a copy of the Scheme and associated documentation free of charge on request; and
• attend the Court hearing and request to be heard on the application for confirmation of the Scheme.

An application by XLICSE for confirmation of the Scheme will be made to the Court in Sydney in or about August 2019 (the exact date will be published on the website https://axaxl.com/insurance/global/asia-pacific/australia when available). If you wish to appear at the hearing, it would assist if you could first contact XLICSE's solicitor, Mr Dean Carrigan of Clyde & Co, by telephone on (02) 9210 4400 or by email on dean.carrigan@clydeco.com at least three days before the hearing date.

Affected Policyholders are not required to take any action if they have no objection to the Scheme.
