Year 2025 Capital and Solvency Report of the Board of Directors Financial Statements Corporate Governance Remuneration Report 4 ‌Mandatum as an investment WHY INVEST IN MANDATUM Mandatum has ambitious growth targets and it aims to become the fastest - growing asset and wealth manager in the Nordics. STRONG GROWTH AMBITIONS The target is above 10% growth (CAGR) in profit before taxes for the capital - light business during 2025-2028. Mandatum targets profitable growth in the capital-light business, particularly in asset and wealth management and corporate business, which are core to its strategy. During the strategy period 2025-2028, growth is sought from: International institutional asset management, where strong growth ambitions are supported by strong investment expertise and award - winning fixed income products. Private wealth management with an aim to double the market share. Corporate business, where growth continues to be pursued across all products by leveraging an extensive contact network and increasing sales resources. SIGNIFICANT PROFITABILITY IMPROVEMENT AHEAD The target is above 20% return on equity (ROE) by the end of 2028. Mandatum's key profitability metrics is return on equity (ROE), for which the company targets a pronounced step - up. The drivers of Mandatum's ROE are: Earnings growth in the capital-light business which is supported by growth in business volumes and further strengthening of operational leverage. The capital released from the runoff of the with-profit insurance portfolio, as this business ties up a significant amount of capital and therefore weighs on return on equity. ATTRACTIVE CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION The target is cumulative shareholder distribution of more than EUR 1 billion for years 2025-2028 and the solvency margin target range is 160-180% by the end of 2028. Mandatum aims to be an attractive dividend payer - now and in the future. Mandatum's unique balance sheet position, and especially the capital released from the run-off with - profit business, enables an attractive shareholder distribution. The company's capacity for shareholder distribution is driven by: Strong solvency position, which was 169 per cent 1 at the end of 2025. Distributable funds which are supported by the capital release from the run-off of the with-profit business and profitable earnings growth of the capital-light business. A STRONG BRAND AND HIGH CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION What sets Mandatum apart from its competitors is its strong brand, supported by the competitive advantage created by high customer and employee satisfaction. A strong and reputable brand serves as a distinctive competitive advantage, supports sales particularly in private wealth management and creates added value compared to competitors. Customer satisfaction is demonstrably high across all business areas, and Mandatum has, among other recognitions, been ranked the best private wealth manager in Finland. 2 Skilled and professional personnel are essential to Mandatum's success. The company has notably satisfied employees and has, for example, received the Great Place to Work certification numerous times.

The year was marked by many successes. I would like to highlight the work around refining our strategy, the success of our international asset management business, and a significant improvement in cost efficiency. What developments took place around the strategy? The work undertaken to further sharpen our strategy had a significant impact on the year in many respects. In June, we hosted Mandatum's first Capital Markets Day, at which we announced new financial targets and outlined clear strategic priorities for the period 2025-2028. Mandatum pursues profitable growth in the capital-light business, while the with-profit business continues its planned contraction. During this strategy period, our focus is on strengthening international institutional asset management; accelerating the growth of private wealth management in Finland; leveraging corporate client relationships to support business growth; and improving operational efficiency. We made clear and tangible progress across all of these areas during the year. In the autumn, Mandatum's entire organisation engaged deeply in the strategy, translating our objectives into clear direction for every business area, team and individual. The level of energy and commitment was inspiring to witness. I am confident that this shared effort will support us throughout the strategy period. How did the international expansion of asset management business progress? International expansion was once again a major success in 2025. Growth in institutional asset management continued at a strong pace, particularly in Sweden, and we also gained our first new clients in Central Europe. As our market recognition increases, it will further contribute to the achievement of our growth objectives. Our international success is firmly built on high-quality investment products. Competing with large global players requires top-tier expertise and consistently strong performance. Our position in this regard is, for example, reflected in the numerous awards we received during the year. Year 2025 Capital and Solvency Report of the Board of Directors Financial Statements Corporate Governance Remuneration Report 8 You also mentioned cost efficiency. What does this mean in practice? We have worked systematically over the past years to improve our cost efficiency, and the results are clearly visible. The cost/ income ratio related to client assets under management improved by nine percentage points compared with the previous year, driven both by growth in client assets under management and a simultaneous reduction in expenses. Our scalable business model allows us to increase revenues without a corresponding rise in costs, providing a solid platform for future growth. How did private wealth management in Finland perform, and which services were most popular? Private wealth management also delivered an excellent year. Client assets under management increased by 19 per cent compared with the previous year, and we gained market share. High client satisfaction is reflected in Mandatum being ranked the best private banking provider in the Kantar Prospera Private Banking 2025 Finland survey. Discretionary mandates were particularly popular. I believe their appeal lies in a personal and proactive service model, combined with Mandatum's strong portfolio management expertise. Clients can confidently entrust investment decisions to our professionals. What would you highlight in the corporate and retail clients business areas? In corporate clients, Mandatum is the market leader in supplementary pensions and in personnel funds, which recorded strong net flow growth during the year. Cooperation between wealth management and the corporate client business, which is strategically important for Mandatum, continued to work extremely well. Within our retail clients business, we initiated a partnership with Pohjantähti in the distribution of personal risk insurance, and the collaboration started off strongly. How did Mandatum's financial performance develop in 2025? Mandatum achieved strong and profitable growth during the year. Even if the overall result declined compared with the previous year, its quality remained high. The growth of capital-light profit, which is strategically important for Mandatum, accelerated particularly towards the end of the year. This demonstrates that we are focusing on the right priorities: profitable growth in institutional and wealth management, corporate clients, and retail clients. Overall, client assets under management increased to EUR 15.3 billion, and solvency remained at a strong level. One of our new financial targets is a cumulative shareholder payout of over EUR 1 billion for this strategy period. We are progressing well towards this goal. The Board of Directors has decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of EUR 0.85 per share, corresponding to a total dividend distribution of approximately EUR 427 million for 2025. As I have stated before, it is important for Mandatum to be a good dividend payer, both now and in the future. What role does sustainability play at Mandatum, and how was this reflected in 2025? For Mandatum, sustainability first and foremost means active measures that strengthen the company's success in the long run. Our sustainability efforts were reflected in strong performance across a range of external ESG assessments during the year. In spring 2025, Mandatum was included in the OMXH25 ESG Responsible™ Index. Our ESG ratings remained strong across the board: Sustainalytics assessed Mandatum as a low-risk company with improved scores, MSCI maintained its AA rating, and ISS ESG once again awarded Mandatum the Prime status. We also performed well in the PRI responsible investment assessment and in the GRESB assessment of real estate investments. Mandatum received the Great Place to Work certification. What does this indicate and what is the connection between employee and customer satisfaction? Successful business is built on both engaged employees and satisfied customers, and we therefore monitor employee and customer satisfaction closely. In 2025, Mandatum received two employee experience certifications: the Siqni Future Workplaces certification for the fourth consecutive year and the Great Place to Work certification for 2025-2026. These recognitions reflect Mandatum's strong corporate culture and high levels of employee engagement. I firmly believe that a positive employee experience is reflected in high customer satisfaction. This was also evident in our results, with a further improved Net Promoter Score (NPS) reaching 79.7 for the full year. You have highlighted several successes, but where was there room for improvement in 2025? Although sales of personal risk insurance were at a good level, we did not fully reach our ambitious targets. We will continue to develop this business area with determination. How is Mandatum positioned for 2026? Mandatum is well positioned both for 2026 and for achieving its longer-term strategic objectives. We aim to become the fastest-growing asset and wealth manager in the Nordics, and we are firmly progressing towards this goal. Finally, I would like to extend my warm thanks to Mandatum's employees, clients, partners and shareholders for the past year.

MANDATUM AND POHJANTÄHTI STARTED COLLABORATION IN PERSONAL RISK INSURANCES Mandatum and Pohjantähti agreed on collaboration, through which Pohjantähti started to act as Mandatum's partner in offering personal risk insurances to cover critical illness, short-term and long-term disability and death, as of September 2025.

Its wide range of services includes asset and wealth management, pension plans, compensation and rewards, as well as personal risk insurance. The key markets are expected to grow over the next years. Mandatum has its roots in Finland, where it offers the full variety of its services. In Finland, the company serves some 250,000 retail clients and around 20,000 companies. The asset management business is international and has expanded especially to Sweden, but also to other Nordic countries and into Central Europe. Asset management market in the Nordics 2 AuM (EUR billion) +8 % 1 1,500 1,000 Finland MARKET GROWTH SUPPORTS MANDATUM'S GROWTH OBJECTIVES The key markets for Mandatum in asset management, private wealth management, as well as corporate pension and personal risk insurance have developed favourably in recent years, and their growth is expected to remain strong in the coming years. Private wealth management market in Finland 2 AuM (EUR billion) +6 % 1 200 100 The value of the Nordic asset management market already exceeds EUR 1,000 billion and it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 8 per cent in the coming years. In Finland, the private wealth management market CAGR is expected to be around 6 per cent. Factors influencing this development include the growth of Nordic economies, creation of new wealth by the corporate Corporate unit-linked pension and corporate personal insurance market in Finland 2 Gross written premium (EUR million) +5 % 1 600 400 sector, and the transfer of accumulated wealth to the next generations. In the corporate unit-linked pension insurance and corporate personal risk insurance market, the CAGR for premiums written is expected to be around 5 per cent in the coming years. Factors influencing the pension insurance market growth include the ageing of Finland's population and the weakening of social security. As a result, the need for individuals to supplement their statutory pensions with voluntary pension savings has grown. Companies have also assumed a more prominent role in supplementing employees' insurance cover, and the popularity of insurance benefits offered as employee benefits has increased in Finland in recent years.

During this strategy period, the company's focus is on expanding the foothold of asset management internationally, accelerating the growth of private wealth management in Finland, increasing sales by leveraging excellent corporate client relationships, and improving operational efficiency. Mandatum has divided its business into four areas: institutional and wealth management, corporate clients, retail clients, and with-profit business. The strategy is to grow profitably in the capital-light business areas, i.e. in institutional and wealth management, corporate clients and retail clients, while scaling down the more capital-heavy with-profit business in a planned and predictable manner. This strategy has been in place since the early 2000s, when sales of new with-profit pension insurance policies were discontinued and the company started building growth in the capital-light business areas. While with-profit business is profitable, due to its high capital requirement, the return on capital remains relatively low. For this reason, Mandatum's focus is now on capital-light business. As the with-profit portfolio declines, capital is released. This, together with the Group's strong solvency position and the growth of capital-light business, forms the basis of Mandatum's dividend capacity. VISION AND STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Mandatum's growth objectives are ambitious: its vision is to become the fastest-growing Nordic asset and wealth manager with optimised growth in Finnish life and pension. During the strategy period of 2025-2028, the focus is on expanding the foothold in asset management internationally, especially in the Nordics, accelerating the growth of wealth management in Finland, leveraging corporate client relations for growth, and improving operational efficiency. Mandatum is well-positioned to achieve its goals: the company has extensive experience and a proven track record in investment operations, a strong brand, high-quality products, and satisfied customers and employees. FINANCIAL TARGETS In June 2025, Mandatum announced new financial targets as part of its strategy, reinforcing its commitment to growth within the capital-light business and to shareholder value creation. The financial targets for 2025-2028 are: Return on equity (ROE): above 20% Capital-light profit before taxes: Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) above 10% Solvency margin: target range of 160-180% with cumulative shareholder payouts exceeding EUR 1 billion. STRATEGY PROGRESS IN 2025 In line with the strategy, the capital - light business continued to grow in 2025, while the with-profit business contracted. Capital - light profit before taxes increased by 5 per cent year - on - year. Year 2025 Capital and Solvency Report of the Board of Directors Financial Statements Corporate Governance Remuneration Report 13 Throughout the year, Mandatum focused both on accelerating sales and enhancing operational efficiency. Sales resources were strengthened both in the institutional and wealth management and the corporate client business areas, and sales operations were further systematised. International growth remained strong, particularly in Sweden, and new clients were acquired in Central Europe. To support the expanding client base, a new sales unit was established in Luxembourg. In the retail client business area, sales benefitted from the newly launched partnership with Pohjantähti Mutual Insurance Company. Operational efficiency improvements were pursued systematically throughout the year. Lower expenses contributed to an improved cost/income ratio related to client assets under management, which improved by 9 percentage points during the year.
