1Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as IFRS shareholders’ equity of USD2,171.8 million reduced by intangible assets (primarily related to the acquisition of AXA RE's business), net of deferred tax liabilities, in the amount of USD162.2 million.
2The pro forma includes adjustments to (i) gross written premium to reflect the fact that, prior to 1 October 2007, the Company wrote business through AXA RE and retroceded such business to PARIS RE. Gross written premiums are adjusted for retrocession accounted by AXA RE in the name of PARIS RE, (ii) the Reserve Agreement impact to reallocate it to the original accounts (premium, claims and commissions, instead of claims only).
