Teachers Assurance Pays Special Bonus to Members

BOURNEMOUTH, England, April 6, 2011 - Teachers Assurance (www.teachersassurance.co.uk/) has today
announced that they will be returning excess profits to their With-Profits
members in the form of a Special Mutuality Bonus.

Going from strength to strength, in 2010 Teachers Assurance was reported
as the 'Strongest With-Profits Life Office*' for the fourth year in a row. An
excess of free assets has allowed them to reward their members with this
special bonus and for the third time in their recent history, over GBP4m will
be returned to members later this year.

Chief Executive David Furniss commented "Since our set up in 1877 we have
existed as a mutual society, for the benefit of our members. This encompasses
everything we do, from the design of our products with their specific
guaranteed returns, through to bonuses and additional payments that we give
back to members to increase the value of their returns.

In 2010 we paid out over GBP90m to members and customers on policies, we
achieved an 11.6% investment return on the With-Profits Fund and we're now
delighted to make this additional special payment to those members who have
invested with us."
