UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the separate historical consolidated financial statements of ACE Limited (“ACE”) and The Chubb Corporation (“Chubb”) after giving effect to ACE’s acquisition of Chubb (the “Chubb Merger”) and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the pro forma combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 is presented as if the Chubb Merger had occurred on June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 are presented as if the Chubb Merger had occurred on January 1, 2014. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the Chubb Merger and, with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations only, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.

The preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and related adjustments required ACE’s management to make certain assumptions and estimates. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read together with:

 

    the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements;

 

    ACE’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in ACE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014;

 

    Chubb’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Chubb’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014;

 

    ACE’s unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in ACE’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015; and

 

    Chubb’s unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Chubb’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015.

The Chubb Merger will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations,” (“ASC 805”) with ACE identified as the acquirer. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements set forth below primarily give effect to the following:

 

    application of the acquisition method of accounting in connection with the Chubb Merger to reflect the aggregate purchase consideration;

 

    the issuance of ACE common shares to the shareholders of Chubb as a portion of the Merger Consideration;

 

    the issuance of equity replacement awards to holders of Chubb’s outstanding equity awards;

 

    borrowings under new debt facilities to fund part of the cash consideration for the Chubb Merger;

 

    liquidation of certain ACE investments to fund part of the cash consideration for the Chubb Merger;

 

    liquidation of certain Chubb investments to fund part of the cash consideration for the Chubb Merger; and


    transaction costs in connection with the Chubb Merger.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which ACE believes are reasonable under the circumstances, have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based upon available information and certain assumptions described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Chubb Merger are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Such a valuation requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates. ACE management believes the fair values recognized for the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions currently available. The final determination of the acquisition consideration and fair values of Chubb’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Chubb that exist as of the date of completion of the Chubb Merger. Consequently, the amounts allocated to goodwill and intangible assets could change significantly from those allocations used in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements presented below and could result in a material change in amortization of acquired finite lived intangible assets.

The adjustments that will be recorded at the effective time of the Chubb Merger may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements including, but not limited to, as a result of:

 

    the occurrence of natural or man-made catastrophic events which trigger losses on catastrophe-exposed insurance contracts written by ACE or Chubb;

 

    changes in the fair value of ACE’s or Chubb’s investment portfolios due to market volatility;

 

    changes in market volatility impacting financing assumptions;

 

    changes in the trading price for ACE common shares;

 

    net cash used or generated in ACE’s or Chubb’s operations between the signing of the Merger Agreement and completion of the Chubb Merger;

 

    the timing of the completion of the Chubb Merger; and

 

    other changes in Chubb’s net assets that occur prior to completion of the Chubb Merger.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared by ACE management in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that might have been achieved had the transaction been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the combined company will experience after the transaction. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do not include any pro forma adjustments to reflect expected revenue synergies, expected cost savings or restructuring actions that may be achievable or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs.

Certain financial information of Chubb, as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements, has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in ACE’s consolidated financial statements, for purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. Refer to note 4 of the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements for an explanation of these reclassifications.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Description of the Transaction

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Chubb, with Chubb continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ACE. In the Chubb Merger, each share of Chubb common stock owned by a Chubb shareholder (except for certain shares held by ACE, Chubb, or their subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive 0.6019 of an ACE common share and $62.93 in cash. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued, ACE will pay cash in an amount equal to the fraction of an ACE common share which the holder would otherwise be entitled to receive multiplied by the average closing price of ACE common shares on the NYSE as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the five full trading days ending on the day immediately preceding the date the Chubb Merger is consummated. No interest will be paid or will accrue on cash payable to holders in lieu of fractional shares.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of ACE and Chubb after giving effect to the completion of the Chubb Merger and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Such pro forma adjustments are (1) factually supportable, (2) directly attributable to the Chubb Merger and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the merger date.

The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

At this preliminary stage, the estimated identifiable finite lived intangible assets include unearned premiums reserves (“UPR”), agency distribution relationships and renewal rights, and internally developed technology. The estimated identifiable indefinite lived identifiable intangible asset represents the Chubb trademark, which is not amortized, but will be subject to periodic impairment testing and is subject to the same risks and uncertainties noted for the identifiable finite lived intangible assets. In addition, unpaid losses and loss expenses represent the estimated fair value of Chubb’s reserve balance. Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated purchase price over the estimated fair value of Chubb’s assets and liabilities, including the fair value of the estimated identifiable finite and indefinite lived intangible assets, and will not be amortized, but will be subject to periodic impairment testing.

Upon consummation of the Chubb Merger and the completion of a formal valuation study, the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities will be updated, including the estimated fair value and useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets and allocation of the excess purchase price to goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented solely for informational purposes and are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that might have been achieved had the transaction been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the combined company will experience


after the transaction. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do not reflect expected revenue synergies, expected cost savings or restructuring actions that may be achievable or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs.

 

3. Accounting Policies

As part of preparing the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, ACE conducted a review of the accounting policies of Chubb to determine if differences in accounting policies require restatement or reclassification of results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to ACE’s accounting policies and classifications. During the preparation of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, ACE did not become aware of any material differences between accounting policies of ACE and Chubb, except for certain reclassifications necessary to conform to ACE’s financial presentation, and accordingly, these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not assume any material differences in accounting policies between ACE and Chubb. The results of this review are included in note 4. Upon consummation of the Chubb Merger, a more comprehensive review of the accounting policies of Chubb will be performed, which may identify other differences among the accounting policies of ACE and Chubb that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

5. Preliminary Purchase Consideration

Upon completion of the Chubb Merger, each Chubb common share (other than the exception shares defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be canceled and converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement, into the right to receive (i) 0.6019 of an ACE common share and (ii) $62.93 in cash. In addition, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, replacement equity awards will be issued by ACE to the holders of Chubb’s outstanding stock-based awards (stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, deferred unit obligations and performance units). The estimated fair value of the replacement equity awards attributable to service periods prior to the Chubb Merger is included in purchase consideration.

The preliminary estimate of the purchase consideration has been calculated using the number of Chubb’s common shares outstanding and outstanding equity based awards as of June 30, 2015 and the closing price of ACE’s common shares as of August 27, 2015.

Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The unearned premium reserves (UPR) intangible represents the profits inherent in the acquired in-force policies and was estimated using the income approach. Agency distribution relationships and renewal rights represent the network through which Chubb conducted its operations and existing Chubb policyholder relationships. The fair value of this intangible asset was estimated using the income approach. Critical


inputs into the valuation model for agency distribution relationships and renewal rights include estimates of expected premium and retention rates. Internally developed technology relates to Chubb’s internally developed software and was estimated using the relief-from-royalty approach. The Chubb trademark was also estimated using the relief-from-royalty approach. The preliminary allocation to intangible assets is as follows:

The actual purchase price will fluctuate until the closing date of the Chubb Merger and the final valuation could differ significantly from the current estimate. The effect of using ACE’s annual historical stock price volatility of 21 percent would have the following impact on certain components of the purchase consideration and goodwill:
