What Is Blockchain? 4 Technologies In 1 Distributed ledger Decentralized, peer-to-peer network Append-only distributed database - immutable Replicated to all participants on the network Shows current status as well as status over time Consensus Consensus is the process by which transactions are verified Decentralized consensus ensures agreement on "single-version-of-the-truth (allows for consistency among distributed ledger) Cryptography Ensures that transactions are secure, authenticated & verifiable Verifies participants' privacy while the ledger is shared Smart Contracts Programmable contracts which contain the business logic that is automatically executed when pre-defined conditions are met Ideal for arrangements that are: tailored, verifiable, signed, self-executing, embedded in blockchain networks Blockchain is another way of producing, storing, managing and sharing data as a distributed and secure record of transactions 4

B3i and Market Potential: Significant Opportunities An independent market analysis, conducted by Stern Stewart & Co in November 2017, surveyed 38 B3i member and testing participants. The results were distributed and discussed with all 38 participating firms and generally considered very positive for the consortium. Largest consortium Participants view B3i as the most significant and valuable DLT consortium: The 38 companies represent 27% ceded and 51% reinsurance premiums market share. High relevance Over 80% of those surveyed perceive platform as relevant. Significant Potential Participants estimated an initial annual aggregate of USD 30 billion premium to flow through the platform, generating an aggregate of USD 210 million annual savings resulting from streamlining the administration processes (1). Factoring in further market adoption, the full potential is estimated as USD 80-140 billion and USD 1'120 million respectively. Desire to adopt On average, most respondents considered they would be early adopters. (1) Survey participants reported the costs impacted and percentage saving by B3i platform usage; broker savings excluded as most brokers chose not to respond to that question 20

Challenges For Scaling Up Transformation Wait-and-see attitude within management Complete overhaul vs. Step-by-step overhaul transform Management commitment and successful use cases needed Legislation & Regulation Regulation authorities follow a wait and see approach Legal uncertainty Seek legal counsel and regulators, address all possible legal solution, continuously monitor legal Technology verdicts and new regulatory requirements Application of the same Blockchain technology Integrating AI and Big Data Technical progress is not yet fully satisfactory Building the industry wide standard on existing standards like ACORD Collaboration Building up trust between rivals for tshared data base Benefits of Blockchain are maximized the more firms are involved in the network Extensive and open collaboration between as many insurers, reinsurers and brokers as possible with winning collaboration model User Adoption & Social Acceptance Social acceptance is all but certain, especially because of potential job losses and failing businesses Resistance of consumers Internal and external change management through economic and psychological driver 21

Agenda 1. Background to blockchain and B3i 2. Current product and future applications 3. Current priorities 4. Potential for Oil and Gas and future prospects 22

Value Chain The value chain: Extract Refine Process Retail Manufacture Trading Transport Separate markets with numerous parties involved and multiple transactions at all stages introduces complexity, lack of transparency, need for reconciliations and verification. 34

What Problem is there to Fix The industry is reliant on: Sharing and validation of data Complex network of suppliers, shippers and contractors Blockchain offers: A single version of the truth All participants have common access 35 Quote from: Tara Walters, Senior Associate, Ashurst

What can Blockchain do for Energy Insurance Complete visibility & transparency across the value chain would provide: Consistent and quality data Smart contracts and automated transactions Traceability and ownership Regulatory compliance Insurance process benefits from: Improved efficiency Better cash flow Automated verification Contract certainty Limited fraud An energy value chain of transactions and activities recorded on the blockchain should improve the insurance processes especially if recorded on the same data standards/core blockchain framework 36

Future Perspective Insurance Industry Is Evolving Towards Digital Platform Ecosystem Today: Pen & Paper Tomorrow: Digital Platform Drivers Silos No integrated systems Pipeline Manual handover between parties Inefficient Paper based transferring of risks Data Volume FinTech Technology Customer Needs Desire for Digitalization ( ) Platform Economy Business benefit increases with more parties; the power of the network Standards Setting the standard for evolving technologies; a common language to provide fluidity Technology Shared infrastructure creates efficiencies; economies of scale 37

A Future Blockchain-enabled Landscape Reduced administrative costs and friction Reduced friction through secure, shared version of the truth (contracts & data) Digital world & paper processes Future ready, standardized data exchange with multiple participants Access to rich data set to assist modelling Codifying complex contracts Codified logic ( Smart Contract ) where feasible. Enforced version control Trust, digital contracts and data Trust through immutability, contract certainty and transparency of data Seriatim data access whilst preserving privacy Regulatory transparency Openness and continuous monitoring and auditing 38 Update on B3i development and priorities
