CGNU Revised Reporting Dates

CGNU PLC 5 July 2001 CGNU ANNOUNCES REVISED REPORTING TIMETABLE In the light of the recent disposal of its US general insurance operations, and the consequent increase in the long-term savings proportion of the Group's business, CGNU plc ('CGNU') has decided to change its communication of financial and operating information to the market. Commencing with the third quarter of this year, the Group will discontinue the practice of full first and third quarter reporting. The Group will continue to provide quarterly long-term savings new business information and will release market briefings on any key operational and financial developments as and when appropriate. CGNU believes that half-yearly accounts statements are more appropriate for long-term savings businesses, consistent with many of its peers in financial services. In the first and third quarter, the Group will provide an enhanced level of disclosure of its new business long-term sales information, including new business margins, market developments and sales environment. The third quarter long-term savings new business announcement will be released on 25 October 2001 and full-year results will be released on 27 February 2002.
