AXA is hosting today an investor conference in Paris, during
which the management team will present its strategic plan "Ambition AXA",
focusing on financial and operational priorities for each of its business
lines, Life & Savings, Property & Casualty, and Asset Management.

"The long term potential of Insurance and Asset Management is
more promising than ever, addressing global needs for risk and life-style
protection, underpinned by long term demographic trends and the rapid advent
of emerging economies", said Henri de Castries, Chairman and CEO of AXA.
"Through Ambition AXA, our new strategic plan for the next 5 years, we
reaffirm today our objective to become the industry's preferred company,
building on customer centricity and a culture of trust and achievement for
our teams."

"Ambition AXA is about three main priorities: Selectivity,
Acceleration and Efficiency.

Selectivity, mainly in mature markets where we will
concentrate our efforts on actively developing higher margin offers with
lower capital consumption which address our customers' needs. This should
allow us to generate sustainable growth of earnings and operational Free Cash
Flows.

Acceleration, mainly in high growth markets where the Group
already benefits from a strong footprint worldwide which has been reasserted
by the recent AXA APH transaction, and where we want to grow further and
allocate a larger share of our capital. This will allow us to double our size
and more than double our profitability organically by 2015 and to continue to
attract leading partners in insurance distribution.

Efficiency everywhere with a specific focus on mature markets,
where we expect to deliver Euro 1.5 billion of cost savings by 2015 whilst
continuing to improve customers' experience with AXA.

We will fulfil our Ambition by building on our key
differentiating assets, such as our brand, our unique distribution mix, our
capital management agility and our deep international talent pool. This is
our Ambition, and we are committed to deliver on it."
