In the period commencing after the 2015 Annual General Meeting and
extending up to the 2016 Annual General Meeting, Munich Re intends to buy
back up to 11 million shares for a maximum purchase price of  EUR1bn.

On the basis of the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on
30 April 2014 or a future authorisation, Munich Reinsurance Company's Board
of Management has resolved to buy back up to 11 million shares for a
maximum total purchase price of EUR1bn (excluding incidental expenses) in
the period between 24 April 2015 and, at the latest, the Annual General
Meeting on 27 April 2016. On the basis of the current share price (status:
10 March 2015), this would amount to around 3,1% of the share capital. The
own shares acquired under the 2014/2015 share buy-back program in the
period from 14 May 2014 to no later than the Company's Annual General
Meeting on 23 April 2015 are to be retired.
