Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This event may include 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 action by the Company, including statements made with respect to the expected benefits of acquisitions or divestitures, are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events 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 made by the Company due to, but not limited to, important factors such as sales levels, premium income, fee income, expense levels, mortality experience, morbidity experience, policy lapse rates, taxes, general economic, political and market factors in North America and internationally, interest and foreign exchange rates, global equity and capital markets, business competition, technological change, changes in government regulations, changes in accounting policies and the effect of applying future accounting policy changes including the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings, catastrophic events, and the Company's ability to complete strategic transactions and integrate acquisitions. The reader is cautioned that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive, and there may be other factors, including factors set out under "Risk Management and Control Practices" and “Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Company’s 2011 Annual Management's Discussion and Analysis, and any listed in other filings with securities regulators, which are available for review at www.sedar.com. The audience is also cautioned to consider these and other factors carefully and to 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. |

Terms by which 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 are used to provide management and investors with additional measures of performance.

Please refer to the appropriate reconciliations of these non-IFRS financial measures to measures prescribed by IFRS. |
