1 Rating Action: Moody's affirms Allianz SE ratings (Aa3 senior debt) with a stable outlook Global Credit Research - 10 Oct 2017 Allianz Deutschland's Aa2 IFSRs affirmed, outlook revised to stable; Allianz US Life IFSR upgraded to A1 London, 10 October Moody's Investors Service has today affirmed the Aa3 insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) and the Aa3 senior unsecured debt rating of Allianz SE. At the same time, Moody's affirmed the Aa2 IFSRs of Allianz Versicherungs-AG and Allianz Lebensversicherungs AG (Allianz Leben) and revised the outlook to stable from negative, and upgraded the IFSR of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life) to A1 from A2. The outlooks are stable for all Allianz's entities except for Allianz S.p.A. whose outlook is negative in line with the Italian sovereign debt. A list of all affected ratings is available at the end of this press release. RATINGS RATIONALE ALLIANZ SE -- AFFIRMED AT Aa3 SENIOR UNSECURED DEBT The affirmation of Allianz SE's ratings reflects the Group's very strong franchise and business and geographic diversification, strong operating profitability and capitalisation, and very strong financial flexibility. Less positively, the group's life insurance business is likely to continue to face constrained profitability in a lowinterest rate environment, and Allianz has a high, though reducing, concentration risk to Italy. With regard to its business profile, Moody's expects Allianz to maintain its very strong franchise in most of its core markets, including Germany where it has a leading position in life and non-life. Allianz is also one of the largest global asset managers, especially via PIMCO, which has seen increasing positive net flows from Q and which Moody's expects to continue to meaningfully contribute towards the group's earnings. In 2016, the diversification of Allianz's operating profit was very well-balanced, split between non-life 46%, life & health 35%, and asset management 19%. The stable outlook also reflects Moody's expectation that Allianz's operating performance will remain strong, following the improvements in 2016 and, in particular, in H1 17. At the end of June 2017, Allianz reported a 16% and 17% increase in operating profit and net income to 5.9 billion and 4 billion respectively, with the Group reporting a ROE of 13.4% compared to its target of 13% by The P&C combined ratio and life new business margin also improved to 94.6% (H1 16: 94.9%) and 3.3% (H1 16: 2.6%) respectively. Going forward, Moody's expects the P&C result in H2 17 to be somewhat constrained by losses from the recent US hurricanes and the very low interest rate environment to be a key profitability headwind. Specifically, Moody's expects the Group's investment yield to continue to decline. Low interest rates are especially challenging for the Group's life business which has relatively high guarantees in many core markets notably Germany. However, Moody's highlights that the aggregate spread between Allianz's asset yield (3.5% in 2016) and the average guaranteed rate on life policies (2.1%) continues to provide the Group with some flexibility to manoeuvre by reducing credited rates to policyholders. Allianz's asset management segment has also faced pressure with operating profit declining again in 2016 by 4% to 2.2 billion, negatively impacted by reduced revenues and performance fees. However, during H1 17 PIMCO has recorded positive third party net flows of 73 billion which has helped increase the Group's asset management operating profit by 20%. Going forward, Moody's expects the contribution of asset management to the Group's operating profit to remain relatively stable. Moody's expects that Allianz will continue to report a return on capital (Moody's definition, with capital comprising shareholders' equity, free RfB reserve and hybrid capital) above 6% and earnings coverage of at least 6x-8x.

2 Moody's also expects the Group's capitalisation to remain strong. At YE16, Allianz's Solvency II ratio improved to 218% (YE15: 200%) and further to 219% as at H1 17, notwithstanding the full impact of the Group's 3bn share buy-back programme. Like for many of its peers, the ratio is sensitive to financial market movements, although Allianz has meaningfully reduced its interest rate sensitivity since The Group's adjusted financial leverage, which further improved to 24.6% (YE15: 25.2%) during 2016, is expected to remain supportive of the Aa3 credit profile. Allianz continues to have a high, though reducing, concentration risk to Italy, which has some negative impact on its overall credit profile. At YE16, the Group generated around 12% (YE15: 14%) of its insurance revenues and around 13% of its earnings in Italy (YE15: 14%). Allianz also has significant, though reducing, exposure to Italian assets, with around 3.8% of Group investments held in Italian sovereign bonds at YE16 (YE15: 4.6%), which represented around 35% (YE15: 44%) of the Group's reported total equity. Notwithstanding the negative outlook assigned by Moody's to Allianz S.p.A in line with the Italian sovereign rating, we currently consider the weight of Italian exposure within the Group to be consistent with an Aa3 rating, stable outlook for Allianz SE. ALLIANZ GERMANY The change in outlook to stable from negative reflects the resilience shown in a low interest rate environment by Allianz's German life business which has demonstrated relatively stable operating profitability, success in changing its new business mix, an improved new business margin, and very strong capitalisation. Moody's said that the affirmation of Allianz Versicherungs-AG and Allianz Leben's Aa2 IFSRs reflects the considerable strengths of the companies including an outstanding competitive position, a good level of diversification, and strong profitability which Moody's expects to continue. Moody's elaborated that with an average guaranteed rate of 2.5% at YE16, the risk profile of Allianz Germany's life business remains relatively high with profitability and economic capital vulnerable to persistently low interest rates. However, interest rate pressure is being alleviated by Allianz's successful growth in capital-light and less interest-rate sensitive products to about 55% of its German life & health new business in 2016 (2015: 44%). This change in business should continue to benefit the new business margin which has increased significantly to 4% at Q2 17 from 2.1% at YE15, albeit mainly driven by model changes. Nevertheless, existing guaranteed products will continue to form a significant part of the balance sheet for some years. Allianz Leben's Solvency II ratio at 379% without transitional measures as at YE16 is testament to the company's strong economic capitalisation. The ratio benefits from surplus funds which are not fully fungible across the Allianz Group, and in reducing sensitivity to interest rates and lowering guarantees on new business Allianz has been able to offset the decline in interest rates in 2015 and Nevertheless, the ratio remains sensitive to interest rate movements -- a 50bp reduction in interest rates is estimated by Allianz to reduce the ratio by 36% points. Allianz have also disclosed that if modelled for negative interest rates, Allianz Leben's YE16 Solvency II ratio would reduce to 320%. Going forward, we expect Allianz Leben's capital adequacy to remain very strong with a Solvency II ratio consistently above 250%. Furthermore, we note the strong Solvency II ratio at YE16 of 245% of Allianz Versicherungs-AG. ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA -- IFSR UPGRADED TO A1 Moody's upgrade of Allianz Life's IFSR to A1 and stable outlook reflects the improvement in the company's standalone credit profile, which was raised to A2, and the strong implicit support of Allianz Group. The standalone credit profile of Allianz Life reflects the company's positive trajectory with improvements in its business and financial profile factors. The rating reflects Allianz Life's leading market position in the fixed indexed annuity (FIA) market as well as its large block of inforce fixed annuities and sizeable variable annuity business in the US. The company is frequently innovating new products and continues to grow its life insurance business. The rating agency considers risk management is a key strategic focus of the company and frequent product adjustments have led to strong profitability over the past several years. Allianz Life's capital adequacy is good with a NAIC company action level (CAL) risk based capital (RBC) ratio of 343% at year-end Offsetting these positive attributes are the risks inherent in the company's relatively complex product portfolio. According to Moody's, Allianz Group's commitment and implicit support for Allianz Life remains strong. Allianz Life is an increasingly important contributor to Allianz Group representing 9% of total Allianz SE profitability in The US operations share the Allianz brand name and the Group's global hedge platform is located at Allianz Life in Minneapolis.

3 WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATINGS DOWN/UP ALLIANZ SE In terms of rating drivers going forward, Moody's said that positive rating pressure could arise from: 1) Sustained decrease in financial leverage to below 20% and/or; 2) sustainable capitalisation at a very high level, both in absolute terms and compared to the peer group and/or; 3) improvements in profitability as evidenced by a Return on Capital (Moody's definition, with capital comprising shareholders' equity, free RfB reserve and hybrid capital) consistently above 8% and fixed charge coverage consistently above 9x across the underwriting cycle. Conversely, negative rating pressure could arise from: 1) Sustained rise in adjusted financial leverage beyond 30% and/or; 2) deterioration in profitability as evidenced by a Return on Capital (Moody's definition, with capital comprising shareholders' equity, free RfB reserve and hybrid capital) below 5% and fixed charge coverage below 5x across the underwriting cycle and/or; 3) deterioration in stand-alone credit fundamentals of main operating entities. ALLIANZ GERMANY In terms of rating drivers going forward, Moody's said that there is limited upside potential on the Aa2 ratings of Allianz Deutschland although significantly lowered exposure to the interest rate risk of the life portfolio while maintaining a very strong solvency position could place upwards pressure on the ratings. Conversely, negative rating pressure could arise from: 1) A consistent reduction in operating profitability and/or; 2) deterioration in Allianz Deutschland's capitalisation (e.g., with a life entity's Solvency II ratio consistently below 250% without transitional measures) and/or; 3) a weakening in its asset quality and/or; 4) a deterioration in the credit quality of Allianz SE. ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA The following factors could place upward pressure on the ratings of Allianz Life: 1) implementation of an explicit guarantee from Allianz SE in favor of Allianz Life; 2) NAIC CAL RBC ratio at Allianz Life consistently above 400%; 3) Return on capital (ROC) at Allianz Life consistently above 8%; and/or 4) Reduction of equity market sensitivity of earnings and capital and greater diversification with protection products. Conversely, the following could place downward pressure on the ratings of Allianz Life: 1) a multi-notch downgrade of Allianz SE; 2) ROC consistently below 5%; 3) NAIC CAL RBC ratio at Allianz Life below 325%; and/or 4) loss of distribution channels other than its core field marketing organization (FMO) channel, leaving the company effectively with a single distribution channel.
