Appendix 1: Overview of the Closed Book Business
- The closed book business is a business model that acquires closed books carved out from other insurers due to changes in the business strategies and product portfolios resulting from the transforming business environment, and generates income by enhancing values of the closed book acquired from other insurers
- Closed book is a block of in force policies for products that are no longer sold (run-off) by an insurer
- In Western countries (especially in the UK and the US), there has been an increase in the number of closed books due to changes in such background

Appendix 2: Closed Book Market Outlook
- In the US insurance market where Fortitude places high priority, approximately 10% of total life/non-life insurance liability is assumed to be a potential target of a closed book transaction, which is expected to expand further going forward
- We also expect a possibility of closed book transactions to happen in Japan considering the current insurance market trend and business environment
