Contingent liabilities On 10 August 2016, the Malaysia Competition Commission (“MyCC”) commenced an investigation into an alleged infringement by Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (“PIAM”) and all 22 general insurers including the Company’s general insurance subsidiary, Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad (“AGIC”) of Section 4(2)(a) of the Competition Act 2010 (“CA”). The alleged infringement is in relation to the agreement reached between PIAM and the Federation Of Automobile Workshop Owners' Association Of Malaysia (“FAWOAM”) in relation to trade discount rates for parts for certain vehicle makes and labour hourly rates for PIAM Approved Repairers Scheme workshops. These rates were applied by AGIC pursuant to a members’ circular issued by PIAM, which arose from Bank Negara Malaysia’s (“BNM”) directive to PIAM to engage FAWOAM to resolve the issues of parts trade discounts and labour hourly rate. On 22 February 2017, AGIC received MyCC’s notice of proposed decision (“Proposed Decision”) that AGIC and all the other 21 general insurers who are members of PIAM have infringed one of the prohibitions under Part II of the CA. The Proposed Decision includes a proposed financial penalty of RM213,454,814 on all the 22 general insurers. AGIC, as one of the members of PIAM, will have a share of RM27,480,883 of the proposed penalty. The Proposed Decision is not final as at the date of this report and AGIC in consultation with its legal advisers will take such appropriate actions to defend its position that it has not been in infringement of Section 4(2)(a) of the CA. 11. Debt and equity securities Save for the issuance of 4,397,861 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each pursuant to the conversion of the ICPS, there were no other issuances of shares, shares buy-backs and repayment of debt and equity securities by the Group during the financial year under review. 12. Subsequent event The Allianz SE and Standard Chartered Bank entered into a 15-year bancaassurance agreement for the distribution of Allianz's general insurance products, including travel, personal accident, fire and motor insurance products, to Standard Chartered's Retail Banking clients in five key markets across Asia, namely Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong and China.

  16. ALLIANZ MALAYSIA BERHAD (12428-W) Part B: Explanatory notes pursuant to the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities (continued) 2. Current year prospect The Malaysia economy is expected to expand about 4% in 2017 as a result of subdued consumer and investment spending amid increased uncertainty and volatility in the global economy and financial markets. In tandem with the subdued outlook of the economy, we can also expect an equally subdued outlook for the general insurance industry. Further, the motor business will likely witness more intense competition with the phased detarification of the motor and fire products which began last year as a result of continued lower automotive sales. The life insurance industry will witness continued growth in 2017 with increasing consumer awareness on the needs for insurance protection and the current low insurance penetration rate. To remain ahead of competition, the Group will continue to focus on offering innovative products to meet protection needs and service differentiation to provide greater value proposition to customers. Both the insurance subsidiaries will continue to strengthen its distribution networks. The general insurance subsidiary expanded in non-agency distribution with the recent tied-up with Standard Chartered Bank via a regional 15 years bancassurance arrangement. The life insurance subsidiary will focus on expanding its agency force and building professional agency force to service customers. The Group will also continue its digital ambition to drive simplification across all processes and to create scalable operation platform. Investments will continue to be made in areas of digital initiatives. Whilst the Group continues to operate in a difficult macroeconomic environment, the Board is confident that with the Group’s focus on optimizing the performance of its insurance businesses it will continue its growth momentum and deliver sustainable returns to all stakeholders in 2017. 3.
