This Investor Report provides financial information reflecting after income tax results for AMP shareholders. Information is provided on an operational basis
(rather than a statutory basis) to reflect a management view of the businesses and existing structures. Content is prepared using external market data and
internal management information. The principles of life insurance accounting are used in reporting the results of AMP Life. This Investor Report is not audited.
Profit attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

Resolution Life transaction


On 8 August 2019, AMP announced a revised agreement with Resolution Life, with updated terms, for the sale of AMP Life (the Australian and New Zealand
wealth protection and mature businesses).
The revised agreement delivers consideration of A$3.0b, comprising:
–– A$2.5b cash, and
–– A$500m equity interest (expected to be around 20%) in Resolution Life Australia, a new Australian-domiciled, Resolution Life-controlled holding company
that will become the owner of AMP Life.

Resolution Life will be on risk for all experience and lapse losses from 1 July 2018 until completion and is entitled to all AMP Life net earnings during that period.
The sale is expected to complete by 30 June 2020. AMP will continue to report the results of AMP Life through to completion of the transaction.

Resolution Life transaction impacts


As outlined on page 1, Resolution Life assumes the risks and is
entitled to profit impacts from the AMP Life sale with effect from
1 July 2018. Operating earnings for 2H 18 included A$42m (post- tax)
which will be attributed for the benefit of Resolution Life when the
transaction settles. This is primarily due to the cessation of internal
distribution arrangements between Advice and the Australian
wealth protection and mature businesses and product revenues
transferring with the sale. The full year equivalent amount is
approximately A$85m (post-tax).

FY 19 tangible capital resources includes requirements relating to


the guaranteed investment options on corporate super products.
The associated revenue is no longer reported in Australian wealth
management and the capital requirements will cease once the
transaction is completed.

are no current plans to introduce these standards and APRA has
not yet started industry consultations. The transition arrangements
provided by APRA in 2013 allow the A$83m subordinated bond
maturing in 2022 to be recognised as Level 3 eligible capital until
the implementation of conglomerate capital standards.

Capital management framework


AMP holds capital to protect clients, creditors and shareholders
against unexpected losses. There are a number of ways AMP
assesses the adequacy of its capital position. Primarily, AMP aims to:
–– maintain a sufficient surplus above minimum regulatory capital
requirements (MRR) to reduce the risk of breaching MRR
–– hold sufficient liquidity to ensure that AMP has sufficient access
to liquid funds, even under stress situations, and
–– maintain the AMP group’s credit rating.

These factors are considered together with AMP’s appetite for


material risks (including financial risk, product and insurance risk
and operational risk), when setting a target surplus above MRR
which seeks to reduce the risk of breaching MRR.
