Dear Paul,
Throughout2Oll, QBE faced a number of difficulties that negatively impacted its bottom
line including a record level of catastrophes that affected the worldwide insurance
industry, substantially lower risk free rates for discounting outstanding claims and
unrealised losses on investments due to widening credit spreads.
As a result of these challenges, overall QBE lnsurance Australia ROE and your business
unit's ROE fell below the 15% required to activate the STI scheme for the 2011 year.
Despite the difficult year we faced, QBE has maEe a discretionary pool available to enable
an STI payment to be made to recognise people that performed at a high level throughout
2011.
You have been identified as a high performing employee via the PMP process, and as a
result, I am pleased to advise that you will be awarded a cash incentive of $5000 (gross),
subject to superannuation and PAYG tax.
This STI payment will be paid together with your usual salary in the pay period ending 1 1
May 2012. Please note that this payment may have been pro-rated based on start date, or
any leave without pay you have taken during the 2011 calendar year.
On behalf of QBE, I would like to say thank you again for your contribution and efforts
throughout last year. lam sure that 2012 will be a busy, interesting, productive and
profitable year.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Paul,
On behalf of QBE I would like to convey our appreciation for your contribution and efforts during 2010.

to major catastrophes and other activities.
201 0 was a year in which the insurance industry responded to some of the most extreme weather
conditions experienced in Australia's history - the Melbourne and Perth hailstorms are examples. The
overall Australian result was satisfactory but unfortunately was below budget, thereby reducing the overall
STIpool.
ln light of your contribution you will be awarded a cash incentive of $21,850 (gross), subject to
superannuation and PAYG tax.
This STI payment will be paid together with your usual salary in the pay period ending 18 March 201 1.
ln order to achieve our 2015 aspirations, your continued efforls and commitment to maintaining our
market leading position, as well as your dedication to servicing our customers and supporting colleagues,
is an absolute necessity and I would appreciate your support for these initiatives.
Whilst 2010 has been a challenging year we can proceed in 201 1 with confidence. We will continue to
stay focused on what matters most to our customers, investors and ourselves.
I look forward to working with you in this year to ensure that we can deliver on our 2011 objectives.
Yours sincerely,

desired results. Whilst the overall Australian result was satisfactory it was below budget which has reduced the amount
of the STI pool.
Notwithstanding the reduced STI pool your contribution has been recognised and you will be awarded a cash incentive
of $17,885 (gross), subject to superannuation and PAYG tax'
your STI payment will be paid together with your usual salary in the pay period ending 19 March 2010'

customers and supporting colleagues is greatly appreciated'
