Important notes 1. Vista is an investment-linked assurance scheme. It is a regular and/or single premium insurance policy issued by Zurich International Life Limited (‘Zurich’). 2. Your investments are therefore subject to the credit risk of Zurich. 3. The premiums paid by you towards the insurance policy will become part of the assets of Zurich. You do not have any rights or ownership over any of those assets. Your recourse is against Zurich only. 4. Your return on investment choices linked to the scheme is calculated or determined by Zurich with reference to the performance of the underlying fund/assets, and is subject to the charges of the policy and may be lower than the return of the corresponding SFC-authorised fund. 5. Any early termination/surrender/partial surrender of the policy or reduction in premium may result in significant loss of the principal and any bonus awarded. Poor performance of underlying funds/assets may further magnify your investment losses, while all charges are still deductible. 6. Each investment choice will have very different features and risk profiles; some may be of high risk. 7. You should not purchase this policy unless you understand it and it has been explained how it is suitable for you. The final decision is yours. 8. You should not invest based on this promotional leaflet alone. This leaflet must be read in conjunction with the Vista Product key facts statement and the Principal brochure which consists of the Vista Product brochure and Your guide to investment choices, copies of which are available on request. 9. Investment involves risks, and the value of investments may go up as well as down. Investment returns are not guaranteed. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. * Please note the following terms and conditions of the offer: · It applies to new policies only and the policies must be issued on or before 31 July 2012. · It applies to regular premiums only and not on increased premiums or single premiums. · It only applies to policies with a minimum policy term of ten years. · The bonus payable is calculated as regular premiums paid during the first 12 months, multiplied by the bonus rate, multiplied by the policy term. · The bonus is paid as unit allocation in the first 12 months upon premiums due and paid. · It is available at inception of the policy only. · It is subject to bonus reclaim conditions.

Policy bonus You can calculate your policy bonus by using the formula below: Policy bonus = Premiums paid during the first 12 months of regular premiums x bonus allocation percentage x remaining policy term. Note that ‘remaining policy term’ is the number of years up to the earlier of your policy maturity date or the 25th policy anniversary. Policy bonuses apply to policies with regular premiums of HKD5,600/USD750 per month or more (or currency and payment frequency equivalent). There are three bonus types, namely Bronze, Silver and Gold, with different qualifying levels of premium. The bonus is paid as additional Initial units1 of your selected investment choices. If you reduce or stop your regular premiums during the first 18 months from the effective date when you start paying your regular or increased amount of premiums, any bonus allocated to your policy will be reclaimed accordingly by cancellation of units from your investment account. The bonus reclaimed is the amount of the bonus paid and the new bonus will be reduced to represent the bonus level due on the premium level you have reduced to. For example, if a Gold bonus of HKD10,000/USD1,250 was paid and the premium was reduced to the Silver level where the bonus payable was HKD4,000/USD500, then the bonus reclaim will be HKD6,000/USD750. Units to the value of the reclaim will be cancelled at the current investment choice price as of the date of unit redemption proportionate to the value of the investment choices, and is independent of the account value. For details, please refer to ‘Reaping the rewards’ section of the Vista Product brochure. Partial surrenders and regular withdrawals For regular premium policies, partial surrenders and regular withdrawals can only be made 18 months after the policy has started, and if your policy has a surrender value. The surrender value is made up of the value your investment account less the surrender charge and the surrender value is available from your relevant financial professional on request. For a single premium policy, a surrender or regular withdrawal can be made at any time following policy inception. The maximum partial surrender is the value of your Accumulation units2 and cannot exceed the surrender value. If, following a partial surrender, the policy value falls to zero, then the policy will lapse without value. For detail, please refer to the ‘Surrender’ section of the Vista Product brochure. Death benefit An amount equal to 100% of the account value following notification of the death of the life insured or the first to die where there are two lives insured. Fees and charges The following fees and charges may be applicable, please refer to the ‘Summary of charges’ in the Vista Product brochure for details. Charges of the policy

Table 3 Example calculation of total premium allocation amount You take out a Vista policy with monthly premiums of HKD15,000/USD2,000 for a policy term of 20 years.

20 years

Monthly premium

HKD15,000/USD2,000

HKD15,000/USD2,000 x 12 = HKD180,000/USD24,000

HKD342,000/USD45,600 ÷ 12 months = HKD28,500/USD3,800 The premium is allocated as Initial units1, while the bonuses are paid as additional Initial units1 in the first 12 months, upon the monthly regular premiums due and paid.

Table 4 Example calculation of bonus reclaim You take out a Vista policy with monthly premiums of HKD15,000/USD2,000 for a policy term of 20 years. You have been paying the premium level of HKD15,000/USD2,000 for 14 months only, and you wish to reduce your monthly premium to HKD2,400/USD300 starting from the 15th month. As the premium level is not maintained at the level started for at least 18 months, your bonus will be reclaimed and your bonus level will be reduced to represent the bonus level due on the premium level you have reduced to. The reclaim of any unearned bonus is calculated as follows: Policy term in years

20 years

Previous monthly premium

HKD15,000/USD2,000

Previous bonus payable with existing and additional bonuses

(HKD15,000/USD2,000 x 12) x 4.5% x 20 years = HKD162,000/USD21,600

Reduction of monthly premium

Monthly premium reduced to HKD2,400/USD300 starting from the 15th month. You do not continue to pay the monthly premium at the same level for at least 18 months, so the original bonus payable HKD162,000/ USD21,600 is reduced. The revised bonus entitlement is calculated using the new lower monthly premium of HKD2,400/USD300 which is the Standard level.

Revised bonus entitlement rate with existing and additional bonuses

0% + 1% = 1% (for Standard level, the existing bonus rate is 0% and the additional bonus rate is 1%)

Revised bonus payable with existing and additional bonuses

(HKD2,400/USD300 x 12) x 1% x 20 years = HKD5,760/USD720

Reclaim calculation in terms of amount

= a – b, where: a = amount of bonus paid at previous premium level but not earned b = amount of bonus to be paid at the new premium level Bonus to be reclaimed is HKD162,000/USD21,600 – HKD5,760/USD720 = HKD156,240/USD20,880 The bonus allocated to your policy will be reclaimed accordingly by the cancellation of units from your investment account. The bonus reclaimed is the amount of the bonus paid and the new bonus will be reduced to represent the bonus level due on the premium level you have reduced to.

Reclaim calculation in terms of a percentage of the Initial units1

The bonus reclaim in terms of a percentage of the Initial units1 can be calculated as follows: The bonus amount to be reclaimed after reduction of premium ÷ the total previous bonus payable x 100% Thus, the bonus reclaimed is: HKD156,240/USD20,880 ÷ HKD162,000/USD21,600 x 100% which equates to 97% of the Initial units1. The above units to the value of the reclaim will be cancelled at the current investment choice price as of the date of unit redemption proportionate to the value of the investment choices, and is independent of the account value. For details, please refer to ‘Reaping the rewards’ section of the Vista Product brochure.

1 Initial units are units allocated as regards all regular premiums paid within the primary or any secondary initial contribution period (ICP), together with any bonus allocation.
