Profit before taxes for P&C insurance for the first nine months of 2010
increased to EUR 519 million (476). Technical result decreased to EUR 340
million (374) because of lower allocated investment income, as a result of lower
interest rate level, and lower underwriting result. Technical result for Private
business area amounted to EUR 177 million (186), Commercial EUR 101 million
(106), Industrial EUR 45 million (55) and Baltic and Russia EUR 13 million (20).

Return on equity (RoE) exceeded clearly the target level of 17.5 per cent and
was 39.0 per cent (54.0). RoE was further strengthened by favorable currency
movements. Insurance margin (technical result in relation to net premiums
earned) amounted to 11.7 per cent (13.8). Fair value reserve at the end of
September 2010 rose to EUR 283 million (105).

Combined ratio for January-September 2010 amounted to 93.0 per cent (92.0)
supported by third quarter's combined ratio of 90.6 per cent (90.9).  EUR 92
million (79) was released from technical reserves related to prior year claims.
Risk ratio was 69.5 per cent (68.1). The deterioration of 1.4 percentage points
from the same period last year was affected by the difficult first quarter of
the year.

In Private business area combined ratio rose to 93.2 (92.3). Nominal costs were
flat and cost ratio decreased 0.7 percentage points to 23.7 per cent. Risk ratio
deteriorated 1.7 percentage points reflecting the effects from extreme winter
conditions in the first quarter of the year. Despite the exceptional storms in
Finland and cloud bursts in Denmark, the third quarter claims development was
stable. In Commercial business area combined ratio was stable at 93.3 per cent
(93.1). In Industrial business area combined ratio rose to 92.4 per cent (90.9)
due to an increase in large claims costs. Risk ratio deteriorated 1.7 percentage
points to 73.9 per cent. In Baltic and Russia business area combined ratio was
92.1 per cent (89.4).

Gross written premiums increased 9 per cent to EUR 3,332 million (3,083).
Adjusted for currency the premiums increased 0.6 per cent. In business area
Private the premiums grew 3.9 per cent with fixed currencies. The largest
increase was in Denmark but all countries had positive development. In
Commercial business area premiums increased 0.2 per cent with positive growth in
Norway and Denmark. Industrial business area still suffered from recessionary
effects and premiums decreased 4.4 per cent. In business area Baltic and Russia
premiums fell 18.4 per cent.

23.5 per cent (23.8). Adjusted for currency the nominal costs decreased 2 per
cent.

billion (10.7) of which 87 per cent (89) was invested in fixed income
instruments and 12 per cent (11) in equities. Net income from investments rose

was 5.7 per cent (10.1). Duration for interest bearing assets was 1.7 years
(2.5).

If P&C's solvency ratio as at 30 September 2010 (solvency capital in relation to
net premiums written) was 86 per cent (77). Solvency capital amounted to EUR
3,599 million (2,943). Reserve ratios were 174 per cent (172) of net premiums

account on the line Share of associate´s profit/loss.

The following text is based on Nordea's January - September 2010 interim report
published on 27 October 2010.

Nordea's total income reached a record high as it increased 9 per cent from the
previous quarter and 4 per cent compared to the third quarter last year. The
development in the customer business remained strong. Lending volumes increased
by 4 per cent and deposit volumes by 3 per cent from the previous quarter,
margins were largely stable in the quarter and market shares increased, mainly
within household.

The fair value result in the Nordea Group increased from the low level in the
second quarter. Total expenses increased 1 per cent compared to the previous
quarter and staff costs increased by 3 per cent. In local currencies and
excluding costs related to Group initiatives, total expenses were down 2 per
cent in the third quarter. Net loan loss provisions amounted to EUR 207 million,
of which EUR 50 million relates to the Danish guarantee scheme. The loan loss
ratio was down by approx. 6 basis points compared to the previous quarter and
was 29 basis points including and 22 basis points excluding the Danish guarantee
scheme provisions.



Operating profit was up 32 per cent from the previous quarter, mainly due to
higher net interest income and net result from items at fair value. Risk-
adjusted profit increased 37 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

The inflow of new Gold and Private Banking customers remained strong, increasing
by more than 15,000 per month. Around 60 per cent of the new Gold and Private
Banking customers were new customers to Nordea.

Nordea has continued to benefit from a strong funding name and has continued to
issue long-term funding throughout the third quarter. Nordea issued its first
covered bond in Norway during the third quarter and has announced its covered
bond program in Finland with the first issue expected in the fourth quarter
2010.

The core tier 1 capital ratio, i.e. excluding hybrid loans, was 10.4 per cent
excluding transition rules according to Basel II (10.0 per cent in the second
quarter). Including transition rules, the core tier 1 capital ratio was 9.1 per
cent (9.0 per cent). The effect from currency fluctuations contributed to an
increase in income and expenses of approx. 1 percentage point compared to the
previous quarter and of approx. 4-5 percentage points compared to the third
quarter last year.

Management incentive schemes

On 8 June 2010 Sampo's Board approved a Compensation Code which applies to all
Group companies. The Boards of these companies have adopted company-level
policies based on the Code. The Code lays down the principles for e.g.
management incentives and can be viewed at www.sampo.com/compensation.

The management incentive schemes of Sampo Group are of two types; long-term
management incentive schemes based on share appreciation rights and one share-
based incentive scheme. The outcome of the long-term management incentive
schemes is determined by Sampo's share price development over a period of
approximately three years starting from the issue of the respective program. The
programs are subject to thresholds on share price development and company
profitability, as well as ceilings for maximum bonuses. Furthermore, the
programs are subject to rules requiring part of the paid bonus to be used to
acquire Sampo shares, which must in turn be held for a specified period of time.

In 2006, Sampo's Annual General Meeting decided on a share-based incentive
scheme for the Executive Management belonging to the Group Executive Committee.
Under the program, the participants are granted the right to receive up to a
pre-determined number of Sampo shares, if Sampo's share price has outperformed a
predefined threshold value and insurance margin targets have been exceeded. The
bonus will be paid in Sampo shares, in cash or a combination thereof.
Furthermore, the programs are subject to lock-up on Sampo shares received.

Payments based on the long-term management incentive schemes in January -
September 2010 amounted to EUR 10 million (0). No payments were made on the
basis of the share-based incentive scheme 2006 (0).

The terms of all incentive schemes are available on Sampo's web pages at
www.sampo.com/compensation.



Shares and share capital

On 8 June 2010 the Sampo Board decided to cancel the 90,000 Sampo A shares
purchased in late 2009 according to the authorization by the Annual General
Meeting. The shares were purchased at an average price of EUR 16.53 per share
and the total amount paid for the shares was EUR 1.5 million. The cancellation
reduced the number of Sampo A shares with the corresponding amount but had no
effect on the share capital.

As at 30 September 2010 the number of Sampo plc's A shares totaled 560,082,390.
Total number of shares of the company, including 1,200,000 B shares, is
561,282,390 shares. Sampo plc did not hold its own A shares on 30 September
2010. The other Group companies hold no shares in the parent company either.

  The Annual General Meeting of 2010 authorised the Board to acquire in one or
several lots a maximum of 50,000,000 Sampo A shares. Shares can be repurchased
in other proportion than the shareholders' proportional shareholdings (private
repurchase). The share price will be no higher than the highest price paid for
Sampo shares in public trading at the time of purchase. The authorisation will
be valid until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, nevertheless not
more than 18 months after AGM's decision. The authorisation has not been used.


Internal dividends

During the third quarter of 2010 no dividends were paid by the subsidiaries to
the parent company Sampo plc.

Sampo plc has received a dividend of EUR 103 million (SEK 1,000 million) from If
P&C Insurance Holding Ltd on 13 April 2010 and, in addition, the associated
company Nordea Bank AB paid on 8 April 2010 a dividend amounting to EUR 204
million. No dividend has been paid from Mandatum Life to Sampo plc in the first
three quarters of 2010.

Group solvency ratio

(Own funds  per cent of minimum requirements)             167.0            158.3





The Group's solvency ratio (own funds in relation to minimum requirements for
own funds) was 167.0 per cent (158.3) as at 30 September 2010. Nordea is treated
as an associated company in the solvency calculation and the part of Nordea's
capital requirement corresponding to Sampo's holding in Nordea is taken into
account in the Group's capital requirement.

In Sampo Group solvency is assessed internally by comparing the capital required
to the capital available. Capital requirement assessment is based on an economic
capital framework, in which Group companies quantify the amount of capital
required for measurable risks over a one year time horizon at 99.5 per cent´s
confidence level. In addition to economic capital companies are assessing their
capital need related to non-measurable risks like risks in business environment.

Capital available or Adjusted Solvency Capital include regulatory capital and in
addition other loss absorbing items like the effect of discounting technical
reserves and other reserves excluded from regulatory capital.

The economic capital tied up in Group's operations on 30 September 2010 was EUR
4,189 million (3,783) and adjusted solvency capital was EUR 7,279 million
(7,077).



EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 13 October 2010, Sampo plc received a disclosure according to which Capital
Research and Management Company's holding in Sampo plc had on 11 October 2010
fallen below one twentieth (1/20) of Sampo plc's entire stock and voting rights.
According to the notification Capital Research held 4.95 per cent of Sampo's
total share capital and 4.91 per cent of related votes.



OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 2010

Global economic recovery continues broadly as expected. In the Nordic countries
economic activity has rebounded faster than anticipated despite sovereign debt
problems causing uncertainty. Volatility in the capital markets will persist
with quickly changing investor sentiments.

Sampo Group is expected to report a good result for 2010 with a continuing good
profitability of its insurance operations supported by the share of Nordea's
profit.

If P&C is expected to reach its long-term combined ratio target of below 95 per
cent in 2010 and achieve a combined ratio between 92 and 94 per cent. Profit is
expected to remain on a very good level.

Mandatum Life's marked-to-market profit is highly dependent on capital markets
and is expected to remain good. Reported profit is foreseen to reach year 2009
level. The company seeks further growth in the unit-linked volumes.

The profit contribution of the associated company, Nordea Bank AB, is expected
to remain significant.

¹)  The Group solvency is calculated according to the consolidation method
defined in Chapter 3 of the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance
Conglomerates (2004/699). In the comparison year the solvency was calculated
based on adjusted solvency calculations for insurance groups according to the
Decree of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health (1106/2000), determined on
the basis of the Group financial statements. Nordea Bank has been consolidated
as an associate as of 31 Dec. 2009, so the capital demand required by this
investment did not burden the Group's solvency on 30 Sep. 2009.

²) The key figures for P&C Insurance are based on activity based costs and
cannot, therefore, be calculated directly from the consolidated income
statement. The result analysis of P&C insurance is presented in note 13.

In calculating the per share key figures, the number of shares used at the
balance sheet date and as the average number of shares was 561,282,390.

The valuation differences on investment property have been taken into account in
calculating the return on assets, return on equity, equity/assets ratio and net
asset value per share. The tax component includes the tax corresponding to the
result for the period, and the deferred tax liability related to valuation
differences on investment property.

The total comprehensive income has been used in the calculation of the return on
assets and return on equity.

The key figures for the insurance business have been calculated in accordance
with the decree issued by the Ministry of Finance and the specifying regulations
and instructions of the Finance Supervisory Authority (former Insurance
Supervisory Authority).

NOTES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Sampo Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU. The
interim financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting. In preparing the interim financial statements, the same
accounting policies and methods of computation are applied as in the financial
statements for 2009.

Sampo adopted various new or revised standards and interpretations at the
beginning of the year 2010. These standards and interpretations are explained in
Sampos accounting policies for the financial year 2009. The financial statements
are available on Sampo's website at www.sampo.com/result.

The most significant of the adopted standards is the revised IFRS 3 Business
combinations. The standard includes various significant changes regarding the
accounting treatment of business combinations by allowing the company to measure
the non-controlling interest at fair value instead of the proportionate interest
in the acquiree's net assets. The choice affects the amounts of recognised
goodwill and non-controlling interest.
