ERGO Versicherungsgruppe AG: Entry of squeeze-out resolution into Commercial Register

Düsseldorf, 6 July 2010

The resolution passed by the Annual General Meeting of ERGO Versicherungsgruppe AG (ERGO) on 12 May 2010 regarding the transfer of shares from the minority shareholders of ERGO Versicherungsgruppe AG to the Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft in Munich(Munich Re) as the majority shareholder pursuant to Sections 327a et seq. of the German Stock Companies Act (AktG) was recorded in the Company´s
Commercial Register on 5 July 2010.

Now that the resolution on the transfer of shares has been recorded in the Commercial Register, all shares belonging to minority shareholders are transferred to Munich Re by act of law. Details on the payment of the specified cash settlement of 97.72 euros for each bearer share will be announced by Munich Re shortly; publication will be in the electronic Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and in the stock market reports.

The market listing of the ERGO shares is expected to be discontinued in the next few days. Any stock market trading which takes place until then will only be trading of the minority shareholders´ cash settlement claims. As the resolution for the transfer of shares has been recorded in the Commercial Register, ERGO shares still recorded in the portfolios of minority shareholders only guarantee the cash settlement claims stated.
