Group history A history of helping people In 1950 in Switzerland, when people began traveling more, a team of forward thinking business pioneers created ELVIA Travel Insurance. This year marked the beginning of our story in helping people. Twenty-four years later in 1974, SACNAS-Mondial Assistance was founded in France; and our helping reached a new level. The creation of SACNAS-Mondial Assistance paralleled the development of the assistance business, which, in addition to travel insurance, included roadside, medical and repatriation assistance. In 1979, AGF became a shareholder of Mondial Assistance. During the 80’s and 90’s, still as two separate entities, (Elvia and Mondial Assistance), we accompanied our corporate clients through their own changes. As they grew geographically, so did we, developing first in Europe and then gradually throughout the rest of the world. In 1995, Elvia joined German’s Allianz Group. In 2000 Elvia Travel Insurance and SACNAS-Mondial Assistance successfully merged and created our group as we know it today. With nearly 80 years of combined experience and know-how, we became the leading world player in assistance, travel insurance and customer services. We acquired World Access in the United States in April 2000 and Worldcare in Australia a year later. In 2006, we launched a new Brand identity and values worldwide. This was a long-term strategic step for us. It showed our dedication to you and your well-being, and reflected our rich, multi-cultural diversity. In 2007 we hit a landmark year. On January 1st, our four French companies – Mondial Assistance, France Secours, Elvia and SSC – merged to form Mondial Assistance, a unique entity and brand. In doing so, we confirmed and solidified our position in France. And true to our goal to grow internationally, we opened offices in Mexico and India. We also acquired Medvantis, a medical call-centre in Switzerland. We registered our Russian office in 2007 and began operations there on March 1st, 2008. Today, we operate under a unique brand name and speak to you with a single voice. We are present on all 5 continents and feel right at home in the 28 different countries where we are present. Wherever you go, we are always close by, looking out for you. We are here to make sure you have our help, anytime, anywhere. You – our customers, stakeholders and staff members – were, are and always will be what our business is all about. ACIF * * A.C.I.F.: Allianz 50% 50% Compagnia Italiana Finanziamenti S.p.A.

Editorial Breaking from the string of bad news, we are proud to present our 2008 results. They aptly reﬂect the energy and commitment that the 9,817 talented people who make up our Group demonstrated this past year. Together, they embody our business mission and passion - helping people, anywhere, anytime. Our turnover was 1.597 billion euros, up 6%, and our net return was 62.6 million euros, +9.6% over 2007 ! These results clearly reinforce our leading world position in assistance and travel insurance. 2008: Growth in a troubled environment Despite the current economic environment, the tourism market continued to grow slightly, but then slowed due to the volatile world economy. The automotive industry took a real beating from the compounded effects of the crisis. The financial sector, also seriously shaken, lost some important players, while a new financial landscape, though still in flux, begins to emerge. In this complex, unstable context, competition remains fierce on the markets and continents where we are present. Nevertheless we actively pursued growth in all regions where we currently operate, often despite unfavorable exchange rates. Our efforts paid off because 2008 proved to be another strong growth year, + 6% with an operating profit of 106.1 millions euros. Our excellent profitability, with a combined ratio of 94.9%, is the result of our strict, long-term cost control policy. Innovation and sharing best practices – at the heart of our success Our four business lines all contributed to sales growth. Tourism activities account for 48% of Group turnover, nearly 50% of which is generated by e-tourism. The automotive business still represents 39% of overall sales, and today, health & lifecare services constitute the Group’s third mainstay for development. Geographic expansion leads to more balanced international sales We registered our strongest geographic expansion in the Americas (Canada and Brazil) and the Asia Pacific (Japan and Australia). Both regions, which represent 19% and 9.5% respectively, contribute more and more to Group turnover. In Europe, 71.5% of Group sales, Italy, Belgium, Spain and France registered the strongest growth. Five countries from three continents (France, USA, Italy, Australia and UK) together represent 57% of Group turnover. This weight illustrates our objective to achieve more balanced, international sales. A new subsidiary joins the Mondial Assistance family We continued to expand in Eastern Europe in 2008 and opened a subsidiary in Moscow, confirming our investment strategy in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). This geographic expansion strengthens our relations with global customers and demonstrates our firm commitment to partners who wish to offer innovative, top quality services in every corner of the world. 2009: What lies ahead Given the international context, we expect 2009 to be a difficult year. However, when signs of the crisis first appeared, we quickly adjus- ted our strategy to limit costs and help absorb the impact. Today, our policy to balance risks, geographically and in terms of products and distribution channels, is undeniably one of the Group’s solidifying factors as it allows us to absorb some of the negative effects of the crisis. While we remain focused on our immediate future, we are also preparing our long-term growth comeback. By launching strategic initiatives outlined in our ambitious “2015 plan”, we will be able to double our turnover. In 2009 we will further develop synergies 2 Mondial Assistance Annual Report 2008

Report of the Group Auditors on the consolidated nancial statements to the Board of Directors of Mondial Assistance AG, Wallisellen As group auditor, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements on pages 30 to 42 of Mondial Assistance AG, which comprise the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes for the year ended December 31, 2008. Board of Directors’ Responsibility The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the consolidation and valuation principles as set out in the notes. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The board of directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 comply with Swiss law and the consolidation and valuation principles as set out in the notes. Report on Other Legal Requirements We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence (article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence. We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.
