Claims burden for Talanx related to “Sandy” in line with expectations

Talanx AG quantifies the net claims burden related to hurricane “Sandy”, which hit the US East Coast on 29 October 2012, at EUR 306 million for the entire Group. This amount includes the total burden of losses announced today by Hannover Re.

Due to the very moderate occurrence of major losses in 2012, Talanx Group’s budget for claims of this kind is sufficient. Therefore, the effect of hurricane “Sandy” on Talanx Group’s full-year results remains in line with expectations. Talanx will publish its Group Annual Report for the financial year 2012 on 21 March 2013.
