Deal Pricing vs. P&C Index Not only is the quantity and size of deals impacted by relative stock prices, but evidence (albeit limited) shows that the price companies pay in a deal is also impacted by relative stock price… • Over the past three years, the price paid in a transaction versus earnings has followed the P&C index both up in 1998 and down in 1999. • Likewise, the price to book value has also followed the trend in the P&C index.

Key Conclusions Our discussion of St. Paul’s valuation and merger consequences approaches, combined with our review of P&C merger and acquisition activity suggests the following… When market valuations are low: • sellers feel they are undervalued • buyers stock is generally of low value • future earnings are poor • premiums to market decline • fewer deals get done When market valuations are high • sellers feel the market has more appropriately valued their enterprise • buyers have additional currency in the form of stock • future earnings are better • premiums to market increase • more deals get done Said another way, when market valuation decline, insurers are not necessarily the bargains they appear to be.
