Cautionary note regarding Forward-Looking Information
This release contains some forward-looking statements about the Company,
including its business operations, strategy and expected financial
performance and condition. Forward-looking statements include
statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to
future events or conditions, or include words such as "expects",
"anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "estimates" and similar
expressions or negative versions thereof. In addition, any statement
that may be made concerning future financial performance (including
revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or
prospects, and possible future actions by the Company, including
statements made with respect to the expected benefits of acquisitions
and divestitures, are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on expectations and projections about future
events that were current at the time of the statements and are
inherently subject to, among other things, risks, uncertainties and
assumptions about the Company, economic factors and the financial
services industry generally, including the insurance and mutual fund
industries. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual
events and results could differ materially from those expressed or
implied by forward-looking statements. Material factors and
assumptions that were applied in formulating the forward-looking
information contained herein include the assumption that the business
and economic conditions affecting the Company's operations will
continue substantially in their current state, including, without
limitation, with respect to market prices for products provided, sales
levels, premium income, fee income, expense levels, mortality
experience, morbidity experience, policy lapse rates, taxes, inflation,
information systems, general economic, political and market factors in
North America and internationally, interest and foreign exchange rates,
global equity and capital markets, business competition, and the
Company's ability to complete strategic transactions and integrate
acquisitions, and that there will be no unplanned material changes to
the Company's facilities, customer and employee relations or credit
arrangements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and
events that are not within the control of the Company and there is no
assurance that they will prove to be correct. Other important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements include technological change,
changes in local and international laws and regulations, changes in
accounting policies and the effect of applying future accounting policy
changes, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings and catastrophic
events. The reader is cautioned that the foregoing list of assumptions
and factors is not exhaustive, and there may be other factors listed in
other filings with securities regulators, including factors set out in
the Company's 2013 Annual Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) under
"Risk Management and Control Practices" and "Summary of Critical
Accounting Estimates", which, along with other filings, is available
for review at www.sedar.com. The reader is also cautioned to consider
these and other factors carefully and not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Other than as specifically required by
applicable law, the Company does not intend to update any
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

non-IFRS financial measures are identified include, but are not limited
to, "operating earnings", "constant currency basis", "premiums and
deposits", "sales", and other similar expressions. Non-IFRS financial

measures to measures prescribed by IFRS.
