Effective 24 March 2014 Funis GmbH & Co. KG (“Funis”) redeemed the voting puttable preference shares that it held in Glencar Underwriting Managers Inc., Chicago, United States (“Glencar”) and hence relinquished its majority voting interest in the company. In the context of this transaction a change was also made to the composition of Glencar’s managing board as per the contractual agreement, since Hannover Re no longer had majority representation on this body. In view of the fact that Hannover Re is therefore no longer able to exercise control over Glencar, but continues to be able to exercise a significant influence over the company, Glencar was deconsolidated as at the end of the first quarter of 2014 and included at equity in the consolidated financial statement. The derecognition of assets and liabilities as well as recognition of the participating interest at fair value gave rise to income of EUR 2.7 million, which was carried under other income and expenses. In addition, cumulative other comprehensive income of -EUR 0.1 million was realised from currency translation.

After Secquaero ILS Fund Ltd., Georgetown, Grand Cayman, had been deconsolidated and carried as a participating interest at net asset value in the previous year, the remaining shares held by Hannover Rück SE were returned effective 31 December 2014 and the participation in the company was terminated.
