                   UPDATE ON REATTRIBUTION OF INHERITED ESTATE

Earlier this month Aviva plc ('Aviva'), the parent company of Norwich Union
Life, announced that it had made an offer to the Policyholder Advocate to buy
out the eligible policyholders' interests in the remaining inherited estate.

Norwich Union Life had asked for a response to this offer by the end of February
but it has now been agreed that the Policyholder Advocate will respond in early
March. This extension to the timetable recognises the complexity of the process.

Norwich Union Life and the Policyholder Advocate remain committed to trying to
agree an offer that is fair to policyholders and shareholders.

An update will be provided in due course.
