Message

Today, on 6 May 2020, AS LHV Group and Toveko Invest OÜ signed the foundation
resolution of non-life insurance undertaking AS LHV Kindlustus, and approved the
company's articles of association. The main business of the undertaking will be
offering non-life insurance products. Obtaining an activity licence from the
Financial Supervision Authority is still required to commence the operations of
the insurance undertaking.

The share capital of AS LHV Kindlustus is EUR 1,250,000, which has been divided
into 1,250,000 shares with a nominal value of EUR 1, in a way that 65% of all
shares of AS LHV Kindlustus (812,500 shares) belong to AS LHV Group, and 35%
(437,500 shares) belong to Toveko Invest OÜ. The new undertaking is a subsidiary
of AS LHV Group, and belongs to the LHV consolidation group. Pursuant to an
agreement of the shareholders, the share capital of AS LHV Kindlustus will be
increased to EUR 5,000,000 before obtaining the activity licence.

From the standpoint of LHV Group, the purpose of establishing a non-life
insurance undertaking is to provide additional value to LHV's retail clients,
and, more broadly, to improve insurance opportunities on the Estonian market
while acting profitably. Offering insurance protection to the clients of LHV and
Euronics will create a synergy that guarantees the insurance undertaking with
enough insurance premiums to cover damages and costs, and to achieve profitable
operation immediately upon the commencement of insurance operations.

AS LHV Kindlustus intends to apply for an activity licence during this year.
From establishing the company to receiving the activity licence, LHV Kindlustus
will bear the costs and generate a loss. LHV Group will publish the financial
forecast related to the subsidiary after receiving the activity licence.
