The Board of Management’s report tothe Annual General Meeting regardingItem 6 of the Agenda pursuant toSec. 71 par. 1 No. 8 in conjunction withSec. 186 par. 4 sentence 2 and Sec. 186par. 3 sentence 4 of the German StockCorporation Act (exclusion of pre-emptive rights in the disposal of Companyshares)

At previous Annual General Meetings,Allianz AG adopted resolutions authoriz-ing the Board of Management to repur-chase, and subsequently dispose of,Company shares, the most recent suchauthorization expiring on 31 December2002. The authorization therefore shouldbe renewed.

Item 6 would authorize the Company torepurchase, directly or through controlledor majority-owned companies, or throughother third parties acting for their accountor on the account of the Company, Company shares totalling up to 10% ofthe current capital stock of Allianz AGuntil 11 December 2003.

Pursuant to Sec. 71 par. 1 No. 8 of theGerman Stock Corporation Act, theshares may also be repurchased and sold in other ways than via the stockexchange. The authorization makes useof this option.

In addition to buying on the stock ex-change, the Company shall also be giventhe alternative to acquire Company

shares by a tender offer to the share-holders of the Company or by making apublic invitation to tender shares. Theprinciple of equal treatment set forth bythe German Stock Corporation Act mustthereby be observed. In this instance, theaddressees of the offer may decide howmany shares they wish to tender and, if aprice range has been fixed, at what price.If the tender offer is oversubscribed or, in the case of a public invitation to tendershares, not all equivalent offers can beaccepted, the shares shall be repurchasedon a pro-rata basis. It shall, however, be permissible to provide for preferredtreatment of small offers or of small frac-tions of offers of up to 100 shares pershareholder. This procedure is intendedto prevent fractional amounts in thedetermination of quotas to be acquired,and fractions of shares, thus facilitatingtechnical settlement of the offer. Theprice offered per share, or the high andlow ends of the price range (excludingincidental costs), may not be more than20% higher or lower than the closingprice at the XETRA-trade (or a compara-ble succeeding system) on the thirdtrading day prior to the public announce-ment of the tender offer, or the invitationto tender shares. Should the share pricedeviate materially from the applicableprice after the public announcement ofthe tender offer, or the invitation totender shares, the price may alternativelybe determined by the share price on the third trading day prior to the publicannouncement of a potential adjustment.

used in the particular market segmentand being as close to XETRA as possible)on the third trading day prior to the pub-lic announcement of the tender offer or the invitation to tender shares. Shouldthese share prices deviate materiallyfrom the applicable price after the publicannouncement of the tender offer or theinvitation to tender shares, the price mayalternatively be determined by the shareprice on the third trading day prior to the public announcement of a potentialadjustment. The tender offer or the invitation to tender shares may stipulatefurther conditions.

Treasury shares acquired within thescope of this authorization may be used for any lawful purpose, includingthe following:

The disposal of treasury shares may alsobe made for contributions in kind, withpre-emptive rights being excluded. As aresult, the Company will be enabled tooffer its own shares as consideration in a merger or for the acquisition of a com-pany, part of a company or a stake in a company. This type of consideration isoften required by the selling party insuch transactions. The proposed authori-zation provides the Company with theleeway necessary to quickly and flexiblyexercise market opportunities to acquirecompanies, parts of companies or stakesin companies on domestic or interna-tional markets. The proposed exclusionof pre-emptive rights acknowledges

19

The tender offer or the invitation totender shares may stipulate further con-ditions.

The Company shall also be given theoption to offer as consideration sharesthat have been admitted to official trad-ing or to a regulated market at a domes-tic stock exchange (including the NeuerMarkt) or to a regulated market withinthe meaning of Art. 1 No. 13 of the Directive 93/22/EEC of the Council datedMay 10, 1993 on securities services (OJ EC No. L 141 page 27) in anothercountry of the European Economic Area.Therefore, the Company has more flexi-bility than if it were restricted to cashoffers. At the same time, the Companyobtains the opportunity to dispose ofsome of its shareholdings. Correspond-ingly, shareholders can exchange theirshares in Allianz AG for shares in thosecompanies in whole or in part. A specificexchange ratio may be stipulated or maybe determined by way of an auction.Cash consideration may supplement thedelivery of exchange shares or be usedto settle fractional amounts. The ratiodetermined for the exchange or the highand low ends of a range may not be 20%higher or lower than the representativevalue of a share in Allianz AG. The valueof the shares of Allianz AG and anyshares offered in exchange therefor is tobe determined based on the closingprice at the XETRA-trade (or, if therespective shares are not traded in theXETRA-trading system, the trading system

these facts. When determining the valua-tion ratios, the Board of Management will ensure adequate protection of the interests of the shareholders. As ageneral rule, the Board of Managementwill assess the value of the shares offered as consideration based on thestock exchange price of the Allianzshares. A fixed link to an stock exchangeprice is, however, not intended, so toavoid having the results of prior nego-tiations challenged due to fluctuations inshare prices. Allianz AG may use, at itsdiscretion, the Authorized Capital 2001/Iapproved by the Annual General Meetingon 11 July 2001, for the acquisition of a companies, parts of companies orstakes in companies. In deciding on themethod of obtaining shares to be used to finance such transactions, the Board of Management will be guided solely by the interests of the shareholders and the Company.

The proposed resolution also includesthe authorization to resell treasury sharesother than via the stock exchange forcash consideration, with an exclusion ofpre-emptive rights. These shares must,however, be sold at a price that is, at thetime of the sale, not substantially belowthe stock exchange price of shares of thesame class of the Company. This authori-zation makes use of the exclusion of pre-emptive rights provided for by Sec. 71par. 1 No. 8 in conjunction with Sec. 186par. 3 sentence 4 of the German StockCorporation Act. The requisite protection

of shareholders against dilution is provid-ed for by the provision that the sharesare to be sold only at a price not sub-stantially below the applicable stockexchange price. The final sales price ofthe Company’s treasury shares will bedetermined shortly before the sale. TheBoard of Management will assess anydiscount on the stock exchange price aslow as possible, giving consideration tomarket conditions prevailing at the timeof placement. The discount on the stockexchange price will in no event exceed5% of the current stock exchange price.This authorization is, however, restrictedpursuant to Sec. 186 par. 3 sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act tothe effect that the total number of sharesissued under exclusion of pre-emptiverights shall not exceed 10% of the capitalstock of Allianz AG, either at the timewhen this authorization takes effect orwhen it is exercised. In determining thislimitation to 10% of the capital stock ofAllianz AG, any shares must be includedthat are issued on the basis of either anauthorization to issue new shares fromauthorized capital, excluding pre-emptiverights pursuant to Sec. 186 par. 3 sen-tence 4 of the German Stock CorporationAct, that is in effect at the time of thisauthorization taking effect, or a subse-quent authorization replacing such exist-ing authorization. Furthermore, sharesrequired to meet obligations arising frombonds carrying conversion and/or optionrights must also be included in determin-ing this limitation to 10% of the capital

The Board of Management’s report to the Annual General Meeting regarding Item 6

Page 21: Invitation to the Annual General Meeting of Allianz …...capital stock of Allianz AG, if these bonds were issued or are to be issuedexcludingpre-emptiverights pursuant to Sec.186

the listing on other exchanges shall notbe more than 5% lower than the closingprice at the XETRA-trade (or a com-parable succeeding system) on the last trading day prior to the introduction(excluding incidental costs).

The Annual General Meeting held on11 July 2001 authorized the issuance ofbonds carrying convertible and/or optionrights for cash contribution or contri-bution in kind (Item 7). To meet theresulting obligations to deliver shares itmay sometimes be advisable to use, inwhole or in part, treasury shares ratherthan increasing the capital stock ofAllianz AG. This is also provided for bythe authorization.

Finally, the authorization allows for thepartial exclusion of pre-emptive rights inthe case of a sale of shares by offeringthem to all shareholders for the benefitof holders of bonds carrying conversionand/or option rights. This offers theoption to grant holders of already exist-ing conversion and/or option rights apre-emptive right instead of a reductionof the option and/or conversion price inorder to protect them against dilution.

The aforementioned possibilities to makeuse of Company shares do not pertainonly to shares purchased on the basis ofthis authorization. Rather, the authoriza-tion also applies to shares acquired onthe basis of authorizations pursuant toSec. 71 par. 1 No. 8 of the German Stock

21

stock of Allianz AG, if these bonds wereissued or are to be issued excluding pre-emptive rights pursuant to Sec. 186 par. 3sentence 4 of the German Stock Corpora-tion Act on the basis of either an authori-zation that is in effect at the time of thisauthorization taking effect, or a subse-quent authorization replacing such exist-ing authorization. This limitation, and thefact that the sales price must be based on the stock exchange price, adequatelyprotect the economic and voting rights of the shareholders. The shareholdershave the option to maintain the percent-age of their interest by buying Allianzshares on the stock market. This authori-zation is in the interest of the Companybecause it provides it with more flexibility.It enables the Company, in particular, totarget the issuance of shares to businesspartners or financial investors.

The authorization is also intended to en-able the Company to use its own sharesin connection with the listing on foreignexchanges where it is not yet listed.Allianz AG faces strong competition onthe international financial markets. It is ofgreat importance to the future businessdevelopment to be in a position to raiseequity on the market at reasonableconditions at any given time. The listingof Allianz shares on foreign exchangesserves this purpose, because it widensthe shareholder base abroad and en-hances the demand for the shares as aninvestment. The price at which theseshares may be offered in connection with

22

Corporation Act adopted by previousAnnual General Meetings, and sharesacquired pursuant to Sec. 71 d sentence5 of the German Stock Corporation Act. It is beneficial and creates further flexi-bility to use these treasury shares in thesame way as those acquired on the basisof this authorization.

The Company may redeem Companyshares acquired on the basis of thisauthorization and previous authorizationswithout obtaining another resolution bythe Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Management will advisenext year’s Annual General Meeting onthe use of this authorization.
