Moving Forward Company 789 becomes the Ontario Mutual Automobile Plan 2021 was a landmark year for the group of Ontario Mutual companies that have for decades been filing automobile rates and rules as a unified entity through Farm Mutual Re Ontario automobile insurance has always been a complex and sometimes volatile product but the onset of increasingly sophisticated analytical underwriting tools and consumer expectations around usage based insurance and digital platforms spurred the Auto Rate Filing Committee to rethink how best to approach the work that the 789 group of the companies did together The name Company 789 came from the IBC statistical automobile data filing code number for our mutual group The committee under the leadership of Chair Henry Miller with assistance from OMIA and Farm Mutual Re worked energetically at creating a dedicated operational structure to ensure the group had access to resources expertise and opportunities to innovate in producing the auto insurance product The committee presented a proposal to membership in early 2021 did a series of town halls and the other information sharing events revised the proposal based on feedback and by mid year moved ahead with the unanimous approval of members to establish the new Ontario Mutual Automobile Plan OMAP There are ambitious objectives for the months and years ahead however the first and most important task was recruiting a leader for OMAP Tyler Kroetsch Bmath FCAS FCIA was appointed as VP OMAP on October 12 2021 By the end of the 2021 further recruitment and strategy work had been completed As we launch into an new year in auto insurance OMAP is at the wheel 10 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

In 2020 it was announced that IFRS 17 would be delayed by one year and will be effective on January 1 2023 Implementation will be required earlier in order to create comparative statements for the 2023 fiscal year During 2021 the committee continued to work on IFRS 17 readiness by developing position papers shared with mutuals participating in the group actuarial services project All draft position papers to date have been posted to the OMIA Members Website for members to review In work to date the Accounting Advisory Committee has included representatives from policy management systems in order to provide some indication on what system changes may be required for data collection and financial reporting The committee will also be working closely with mutual auditors to ensure decisions are acceptable to our audit partners With the assistance from OMIA Statistics the committee completed its work with three mutuals as test companies to ensure that the actuary will receive premiums and claims data to provide the required actuarial services under IFRS 17 Looking Ahead Looking ahead into 2022 the committee will be finalizing position papers and continue to work with Mutuals to provide data to the actuary to complete the 2023 P C 1s and to prepare IFRS 17 financial statements The Financial Review Committee also plays a critical role in IFRS 17 readiness and their contributions to the committee and the Accountants Roundtable provide valuable insight to the potential impact on regulatory reporting and solvency examination The work of the Accounting Advisory Committee has been critical in assuring our regulator FSRA that despite the extreme level of complexity involved in the IFRS 17 transition our mutuals are well prepared well positioned and wellresourced for the new standard Auto Rate Filing Committee Report Mandate To lead member companies in working together to create a sustainable and profitable auto product offered at competitive rates to meet the unique needs of mutual policyholders Chair Henry Miller Maple Mutual 2021 Committee Members Warren Ting HTM Shelley Deyo North Blenheim Steve Quinn Cayuga Tracy MacDonald Trillium Jodi Meiering Ayr Tyler Kroetsch OMAP Jeff Ferguson OMIA Christine Senior OMIA Background The Auto Rate Filing Committee represents the group of OMIA companies that underwrite automobile insurance in Ontario and have elected to do a common filing with the Financial Services Regulatory Authority FSRA This approach is a successful example of mutuals working together to pool expertise and leadership create economies of scale and make decisions in the best interest of member companies and policyholders In 2021 in addition to the usual work with rate filings the committee with the support of members launched a new approach to managing the mutual auto insurance portfolio with creation of the Ontario Mutual Automobile Plan 14 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

Automobile Committee Report Mandate To develop OMIA s position on auto insurance issues and communicate with the industry regulators and legislative ministries Chair Terry Knight North Blenheim Mutual 2021 Committee Members Frank Montgomery Maple Kelly Jackson Westminster Linda Pereira Lambton Lisa Fazzari Farm Mutual Re Jon Hodson Farm Mutual Re John Taylor OMIA Susan Baker OMIA Janet Schmidt OMIA Background Something New Pandemic Relief The Automobile Insurance Committee provides formal input to government consultations on potential changes to Ontario s automobile insurance product As noted the almost complete shutdown of Ontario s economy in March 2020 had a radical impact on driving behaviors with fewer trips and fewer miles travelled for both personal and commercial vehicles The government responded quickly in the early months of the pandemic with public comments demanding that auto insurers provide some form of premium relief In reforms dating back over 25 years every part of the Ontario automobile insurance environment has been affected often radically by changes to either statute or regulation Each of these changes has required detailed study and comment from the insurance industry including OMIA Many of the initial reforms in the 1990s focused on enrichment of statutory accident schedule benefits and creating more stringent claims handling regulations The Ontario auto insurance system has often been described as evolving toward a social safety net Over time this has created a very generous insurance product with benefits that exceed those of any other jurisdiction in Canada In addition the stringent rules governing pricing selection policy terms and claims processes have created a highly complex environment for both insurers and policyholders This in turn has led to more involvement of legal counsel on behalf of policyholders and an adversarial environment for auto claims 2020 was a year of temporary adjustment as pandemic conditions radically changed driving patterns and driver expectations While we have seen a partial return to normal driving patterns the impact of the pandemic is still incomplete and much about Ontario auto remains on pause as a result Behind the scenes however the government has been consulting vigorously on a wide range of potential changes relating to modernizing auto insurance The report that follows reflects the variety of issues requiring an OMIA response 16 Almost every automobile insurer in Ontario allowed policyholders to reduce coverage or make other immediate cost saving impacts Some insurers also reduced premiums or provided a premium rebate The mutual approach was to allow policyholders to adjust coverages based on personal circumstance and then consider the 2020 results overall If warranted they could then make a refund to policyholders much in the same way that mutuals have over the years provided property refunds to policyholders during years with positive underwriting results Traditionally this had not been done with automobile insurance As automobile insurance is highly regulated there was a significant learning curve as the mutuals that chose to make refunds had to make complex submissions and undertakings to FSRA for approval In early 2021 OMIA assisted with coordinating this process and working with FSRA to simplify a complicated process wherever possible There were a few iterations on submissions but in all about 14 mutuals made auto refunds in early 2021 There is a sense that while driving levels increased from 2020 they had not reached pre pandemic levels and auto results seemed to fare reasonably well in the 2021 financial year There appears to be less public expectation or political advocacy for auto refunds for the 2021 year 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

Ministry of Finance Consultations March 2021 Early in the year there was a flurry of requests for input from the Ministry of Finance on proposals on automobile insurance The first of these related to amending regulations to allow the electronic delivery of automobile insurance notices and other automobile insurance documents This attempt to modernize communication with policyholders is generally welcomed OMIA s input to the Ministry was to ensure that there was careful consideration of mitigating any downside due to inconsistent use of electronic delivery or addresses and other concerns about privacy or cyber security potential of greater benefit for all Ontario drivers OMIA expressed concerns that some innovators would attempt to avoid transparency and practices by citing intellectual property rights OMIA also advised the Ministry to be wary of allowing market leaders to use the sandbox to create innovations that in effect eliminate competition in the longer term and reduce availability in the market which in turn would be detrimental to all automobile insurance purchasers Tomec versus Economical In 2020 a decision on automobile insurance effectively removed defenses relating to limitation arguments on some statutory accident benefits schedule claims Aggressive plaintiff law firms indicated this would open the door to reopening older claims The insurance industry including OMIA have been carefully monitoring the adverse impact of Tomec and continue to survey members twice annually to see if this litigation trend does in fact take place The year end 2021 survey of mutuals shows no discernible meaningful impact from Tomec Fraud and Abuse Consultation Paper The second of the Ministry s proposals was allowing automobile policyholders to opt out of direct compensation property damage coverage This has always been a compulsory coverage in Ontario automobile insurance and is a key part of no fault coverage This is the coverage that allows drivers to recover from their own insurer without any penalty or deductible when damage is done to their vehicle through the negligence of another party OMIA s input to the Ministry was to tread lightly given that many consumers may be likely to opt out of this coverage for very small premium savings without understanding that they were waiving all rights to recover physical damage caused to their vehicle by others The third proposal related to the creation of a regulatory sandbox at FSRA This type of sandbox has been piloted in other jurisdictions and is a place where innovations to a product or process can be implemented even though they do not meet existing regulations The regulator is then in a position to assess the benefit if any to policyholders of the innovation and allow it to be applied more broadly OMIA s input to the Ministry of Finance was to ensure that the creation of a sandbox would be evenhanded and that there would be complete transparency as to the types of innovations being undertaken in the sandbox so that there would be The Ministry of Finance in conjunction with FSRA published a detailed consultation paper on how to establish a fraud and abuse prevention program For many years the prevalence of fraudulent claims in automobile insurance has been a concern and it has been estimated to have cost billions of dollars which ultimately is paid by consumers through increased premiums As the Ministry of Finance and FSRA contemplate a more comprehensive regulatory approach to reducing fraud and abuse OMIA provided detailed answers to 34 questions across a range of topics including the definition of insurance fraud and abuse the use of data in fraud and abuse prevention fraud management tools tools for the regulator and other significant concerns It is anticipated that this consultation may result in a significant strengthening of fraud and abuse prevention practices Bill 282 Moving Ontarians More Safely MOMS Act 2021 and Towing and Storage Safety Enforcement Act 2021 The MOMS Act and Towing and Storage Safety Enforcement Act were introduced in the spring of 2021 The MOMS Act proposed measures to combat unsafe and aggressive driving The Towing and Storage Safety and Enforcement Act put in place some pilot measures to significantly reduce bad behavior by towing firms at accident scenes continued on next page 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 17

Page 18

OMIA strongly supported enforcement of laws to improve towing services to accident victims OMIA noted that most tow operators in Ontario provided a valuable service but for many years some towing firms have acted to inflate towing and storage costs to the detriment of policyholders OMIA s response to the MOMS Act also reflected our observation that many rural communities in Ontario were seeing increased incidents of excessive speed on the roads which is a top contributor to increased accident severity In addition in 2021 OMIA created a Towing Sub Committee from the Claims Roundtable and this group was able to provide input for OMIA s participation on stakeholder consultation on the towing bill New Issues Golf Carts Don t Belong on the Road Early in 2021 the province launched a pilot to allow specified municipalities to allow unlicensed vehicles such as golf carts to operate on provincial roadways This has opened a wide range of questions as related to allowing unlicensed vehicles onto roadways The primary issue from OMIA s standpoint is increased accident risk and the severity of injuries that typically arise from collisions between these types of vehicles and motor vehicles This is of concern as the pilot project does not require these vehicles to have auto insurance and claims could conceivably fall back on a home farm or business policy While monitoring this new project and other initiatives relating to non licensed vehicles OMIA has been helping members ensure they are taking a consistent approach to creating underwriting guidelines to eliminate any ambiguity on coverage Looking Ahead Consultation and proposed changes impacting automobile insurance have taken place in a piecemeal fashion and don t seem to incorporate any broad vision of sweeping reform To some degree this might be expected with the pandemic creating significant changes in travel patterns and automobile results that may be an anomaly in the longer term trend line An upcoming election always has the potential to create political pressure points on automobile insurance but relative rate stability over the past couple of years may reduce this as we head towards a June 2022 provincial election 18 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

Information sessions were held in December 2018 and OMIA requested input from members on the potential changes early in 2019 Overall the purpose of the study has been to investigate ways to reduce the volatility of the contribution requirement from employers and find ways to best manage or ideally reduce contribution risk in the future In 2019 the OMIA board elected to make the following changes to the OMIA Defined Benefit DB Pension Plan effective January 1st 2022 1 T he DB pension formula will change to 1 5 x credited service x final average earnings for future service only 2 T he monthly employee and employer contributions will increase to 9 3 The indexing cap will decrease to 3 All companies participating in the Defined Benefit Pension Plan received a report on the OMIA Board s decision with respect to the changes listed above in June 2019 An employee announcement detailing the plan changes was sent to all participating members of the Defined Benefit Pension Plan in September 2019 A legal notice of upcoming pension plan changes was distributed to all participating active members of the Defined Benefit Pension Plan in November 2019 OMIA will return to the ALM in early 2022 Pension Plan Text The Plan Text was restated January 1 2021 incorporating all prior amendments to the previous plan text In addition clarified terms and references with the text to ensure compliance with Canada Revenue Agency interpretations on payment of pension benefits Annual Plan Review Defined Benefit Pension Plan This review is completed by OMIA as Plan Administrator and LifeWorks previously Morneau Shepell as Plan Actuary The annual plan review ensures that the OMIA Plan is compliant with both statute and regulations relating to pension plans in Ontario It also provides a formal review of governance practices to measure the Plan s policies and processes against best practices in the pension field Member companies were provided with written confirmation of the OMIA Plan s compliance in September 2021 Stewardship Review Defined Contribution Pension Plan OMIA as Plan Administrator and Canada Life as Plan Manager review the Defined Contribution DC Plan for stewardship and compliance annually This report provides feedback to OMIA on the design of the Plan and the services available to employees in the Defined Contribution Plan as compared to pension industry trends and best practices The review completed in November 2021 confirmed OMIA s DC Plan as well designed and current with best practices among employers 20 Pension Valuation January 1 2020 marked the end of the most recent annual valuation period for the OMIA Pension Plan The OMIA Board of Directors elected to file an early valuation due to the significant improvement to the funded position of the Plan based on the guidance and interest rate environment the Plan membership information as of January 1 2020 and various other actuarial assumptions and rates in the Plan s position and legislative changes with respect to the funding of pension plans Results of that valuation revealed a small surplus on a solvency basis therefore no special payments were required The next mandated valuation is required for the period ending January 1 2023 The January 1 2020 valuation also indicated a required decrease to the employer normal cost effective January 1 2020 to 5 08 bringing the total employer contribution rate to 12 58 7 5 5 08 Effective January 1 2022 the total employer rate increased to 14 08 9 0 5 08 Transfer Status of Defined Benefit Pension Plan At the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic financial markets reacted with a significant decline in equity markets Defined Benefit pension plans have significant exposure to equity markets and the decrease in underlying asset values affects the funded status of pension plans In early 2020 the FSRA introduced regulations that restricted the ability of any plan to transfer lump sum pension entitlements to terminating members The purpose of the regulation is to ensure plans have sufficient capacity to protect all members following significant declines in funded status One of the regulations states that if the transfer ratio of a pension plan at the end of a quarter has deteriorated by more than 10 since the last valuation filed with the regulator the plan cannot process the payment of lumpsum pension entitlements for terminating members without first obtaining approval from FSRA Following the market volatility that started in March 2020 a majority of the Defined Benefit pension plans experienced significant deterioration in asset values and funded status at the end of Q1 2020 Our own plan s transfer ratio as at March 31 2020 was 77 3 This represented a decrease of more than 10 from the last reported transfer ratio of the plan 92 3 as reported in the January 1 2018 funding valuation report This decrease triggered the new regulation and as a result OMIA as Plan Administrator was required to request FSRA s approval to allow lumpsum commuted value transfer payments to continue from the plan for terminating members 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

At that time FSRA only approved commuted value transfer payments capped at the most recent transfer ratio of 77 3 The remaining 22 7 of commuted value owing to terminating members can only be made subject to a sponsor top up payment or may also be paid within 5 years if the transfer ratio improves to the most recently filed transfer ratio of 92 3 For those terminating members who have elected a lump sum payment OMIA proceeds with transfers at 77 3 of the lump sum owing Each terminating member receives notice of the restriction and future considerations on the remaining lump sum owing Notice of the regulatory change and future considerations on the remaining lump sum owing is included in a member s pension termination document therefore all members terminating now receive this documentation and can make their decision on the form of pension they wish to take accordingly Note that this hold back only applies to members who elect the lump sum transfer option upon termination or retirement This has no impact on processing retirement calculations or terminating members who elect deferred annuity options it will also have no effect on any DC Plan members The Plan Actuary will continue to monitor the transfer value quarterly Should the transfer ratio increase above the 92 3 threshold from the January 1 2018 valuation OMIA will apply to FSRA to have any of the remaining 22 7 of the payment plus accumulated interest based on the prescribed interest rate set out by Canadian Institute of Actuaries paid and then future payments from that point forward would be paid at 100 For OMIA as the Plan Administrator and for plan sponsors the security of pension benefits for plan members is a priority Additionally FSRA has set security of benefits as a priority and we recognize that these regulatory actions were taken with that in mind Late in 2020 the OMIA Board elected to make a funding call to allow for the release of funds being held back in 2020 Late in 2021 the OMIA Board elected to make a funding call to allow for the release of funds being held back in 2021 These funding calls were applied against the overall funded position of the plan In 2022 the plan continues to pay lump sum transfers at 77 3 holding back the remaining 22 7 The OMIA board will revisit whether to make a further funding call in 2022 to release the funds being held back in 2021 Rate of Return Defined Benefit Pension Plan The 2021 annual return on assets as at December 31 2021 was 11 72 Total Assets under management was 219 809 025 Employee Benefits Health and Dental Coverage The OMIA Health and Dental Plan operates under an ASO Administrative Services Only model In an ASO model participating companies essentially selfinsure and fund claims through direct premium assessment to member companies Services to administer claims under the plan are purchased from a life and health insurer This model provides the most cost effective basis for the benefit plan while also ensuring claims are adjudicated at arm s length on a confidential basis The OMIA Benefits Committee monitors the ASO claims experience history changes in participation levels and claims utilization data The committee also provides input on benefits issues that are brought forward by member companies and monitors the ASO target reserve The committee reviewed the target reserve set in 2019 and recommended increasing the current target level over the next five years Some of the items and trends of interest this year have been L ong Term Disability LTD rates decreased by 20 at the 2022 renewal Sun Life instituted a new disability incidence factor in 2021 for calculating LTD rates and OMIA experienced a rate decrease even with the inclusion of the new incidence factor The incidence factor accounts for the significant increases in LTD claims across Sun Life s block of business largely related to mental health claims OMIA s overall LTD claims experience continues to be better than the experience in Sun Life s block of business T he OMIA Benefits Plan experienced a decrease in health and dental claims in the first half of 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic however by December 2020 claims were trending to what the plan experienced pre pandemic By December 2021 Health and Dental claims increased back to the levels seen in 2019 Claims are expected to continue increasing in 2022 and in future years even as the pandemic continues we do not expect to see pandemicrelated claims decreases at this time H ealth and Dental claims costs are expected to continue to rise especially with the continued increases in CPI The Benefits Committee closely monitors this trend and potential continued on next page 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 21

Legislative Affairs Committee Report Mandate To communicate the association s position on legislative issues to our elected representatives Chair Brad Vanstone West Wawanosh Mutual 2021 Committee Members Allan Hedley Cayuga Doug Crockett Westminster Ross Lamont Trillium Barbara Bethune Nova Ed Forbes Dufferin Farm Mutual Re John Taylor OMIA Legislative Affairs at OMIA Roundtable Summaries The Ontario Mutuals have a unique place in the insurance landscape in Ontario This is demonstrated by our mutuals commitment to the economic health of rural Ontario local community causes and direct policyholder participation in their mutual Our commitment and mutual value system are well recognized as MPPs see mutuals as an important part of a healthy and sustainable insurance system Spring 2021 The Legislative Affairs delegate at your mutual plays an important role in maintaining our profile with MPPs and MPs These delegates act as ambassadors to the legislature and communicate effectively on the impact of proposed legislation In some cases our delegates provide an informal sounding board for MPPs and provide feedback on how government policies relating to insurance will affect policyholders This is especially important during difficult markets or when the availability and affordability of insurance coverage becomes an issue Legislative Affairs delegates also provide information back to OMIA and fellow mutuals on important issues in their ridings that will have an impact either locally or provincially These early discussions on local issues can lead to broader discussions as issues migrate to other areas of the province Local road safety concerns and trespass and activism on family farms are good examples of this type of issue Stephen provided his background which included his service in the legislature as an MPP from 2012 until 2018 and his time as the Minister of Transportation Delegates participate in two roundtables each year The spring event takes place in early March with a visit to Queen s Park Roundtable topics focus on areas of developing interest In addition to roundtables individual delegates are also expected to be active in attending local political events within their communities An effective Legislative Affairs delegate has a keen interest in the democratic process a down to earth approach in communicating with MPPs and a sincere interest in promoting mutual insurance 26 Our spring meeting could not be held at Queens Park as it remained closed to visitors but 66 delegates attended our virtual roundtable on March 2 2021 We welcomed Stephen Del Duca the leader of the Ontario Liberal party as our opening speaker He also provided insight into the unique challenges of leading a political party during a time of lockdowns and travel and meeting restrictions As party leader he identified four key priorities Publicly funded education Universal healthcare including long term care Economic growth and prosperity with more evenly distributed income equality Environmental sustainability He spoke to some specific issues more prevalent to rural Ontario including access to broadband connectivity and the provincial funding required for road and bridge maintenance much of which was downloaded to municipalities in the 1990s During the spring of 2021 paid sick days and modernizing minimum wage were key public issues which Stephen spoke to as well In response to a question on managing post pandemic debt levels he described himself as a fiscally responsible liberal with an interest in balancing austerity with fiscal responsibility 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

The second part of the Roundtable included a review of OMIA s submission to the Minister of Finance in preparation for his spring budget This included participating in a virtual roundtable with the minister The OMIA budget submission included Requests for increased consideration on exemptions or reductions on reporting requirement for small insurers Support for universal broadband access and infrastructure in rural Ontario Ensuring that watershed and floodplain management is carefully undertaken given the significant flood risk in watershed areas where mutuals are significant insurers An ongoing request for significant automobile insurance and tort reform to remove adversarial elements of the current time system and reduce the portion of premiums not going directly to policyholders or injured parties During the Roundtable delegates also received an update on OMIA s submission relating to the Corporations Act and a request that the Act be amended to allow mutuals to have a board size that is not necessarily divisible by three As of October 2021 there has been no further action on permanent amendments to the Corporations Act Fall 2021 Thirty five delegates attended the fall roundtable on September 29 2021 At the outset of the Roundtable National Truth and Reconciliation Day which falls on September 30 was noted and an indigenous land acknowledgment was made The opening speaker was Bill Walker MPP for Bruce GreyOwen Sound Bill has represented Bruce Grey Owen Sound for 18 years and has extensive experience in the legislature including roles as a government whip Minister of Government Consumer Services Associate Minister of Energy Opposition Critic for Seniors and Long Term Care Community and Social Services Long Term Care and Wellness and Children and Youth Services He also chaired the PC Caucus Nuclear Committee MPP Walker provided perspective on fulfilling the duties of an MPP during COVID 19 including issues at the constituency level He spoke to the government s RED Rural Economic Development program including commitments to broadband and infrastructure In a question and answer session with delegates the topics covered included issues of labour supply in rural areas escalating house prices and lack of housing availability concerns of excessive speed on rural roads and balancing transportation needs with farmland protection Federal Election The Roundtable also heard updates from delegates on the riding results from the federal election on September 20 This was generally a stand pat election with little movement in seat totals Almost all of the delegates shared the hope that the level of political debate and discourse would improve citing several negative examples from the most recent federal campaign John Taylor provided updates on key provincial issues for the fall term including advocating for some specific rules and restrictions relating to the sale of property casualty insurance in credit union branches and websites He also spoke to OMIA s position on meaningful changes to the Ontario Building Code and the potential for incentivizing resilient construction at the local or municipal level Two other key provincial issues remain Ontario Automobile and the ongoing need for tort reform particularly as related to liability The final segment of the Roundtable featured discussion questions including the following Do cannabis production facilities pose a noise odour and environmental risk in your community Have your local municipalities flagged excessive speed as a community safety risk Delegates had some excellent examples of local issues arising on both of these questions and a combination of public intervention and regulation may be necessary to address them Looking Ahead In December 2021 Brad Vanstone stepped down from the OMIA Board and from the Chair of the Legislative Affairs Committee Brad joined the committee in 2013 and his passion for mutuality and grass roots political leadership was evident from day one He has been succeeded as Chair by Kevin Inglis of Howick Mutual With pandemic management continuing to be the government s legislative priority through the end of 2021 and with restrictions on gatherings still in place in early 2022 the annual Queens Park Day scheduled for March 2022 was deferred Nonetheless 2022 provides the promise of a return to more normal activities and an opportunity to speak with our elected representatives on important issues facing mutual insurers their communities and our economy This will be a particularly important process leading up to the June 2022 provincial election 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 27

Market Issues Committee Report Mandate To gather and analyze industry market information that affects Mutuals ability to sell their product and serve policyholders to disseminate this information to the mutuals and to connect with industry groups Chair Marg Torrance Halwell Mutual 2021 Committee Members Ed Forbes Dufferin Rob Moorehead McKillop Christine Owens HTM Pam Marson Grenville Jeff Consitt Farm Mutual Re Sharon Turnbull Farm Mutual Re Susan Baker OMIA John Taylor OMIA The Market Issues Committee focuses on proactively identifying and researching issues that affect how where and when insurance products are sold to policyholders might arise from class action litigation over the potential for transmission of COVID 19 to customers and employees in business premises The committee s discussions and work are published to members through the MarketWatch bulletin The committee also provides important input as OMIA plans subject matter and topics of interest for meetings roundtables and conferences Perhaps the most important part of the committee s process is to answer about any emerging issue What will this mean to my mutual In addition there were several high profile class actions launched against insurers in 2020 for business interruption coverage arising from the COVID 19 shutdown These continued to make their way through the Courts in 2021 but it will be sometime before the full impact of that litigation is known Many had high hopes that 2021 would bring an almost full return to normal for both mutuals and their clients but that was not to be The end of year omicron wave actually pushed back a lot of the progress we had seen in the fall From an insurance standpoint while there were some new insurance issues to a large extent 2021 was a continuation of 2020 Profitability and Availability A hard market that was first noted in 2019 escalated in 2020 and continued into 2021 but with potentially fewer COVID related complications Availability of coverage for hospitality risks was acute in 2020 This is not a core market for our mutuals however we did carefully monitor the industry response particularly as there were significant political overtones as restaurants and other hospitality venues struggled with reopening later in 2020 The Insurance Bureau of Canada led an industry coalition and established a Business Insurance Action Team to help hospitality risks do proactive risk management to find coverage in the marketplace By all indications this was largely successful Much of the initial concern around commercial insurance in the early stages of the pandemic was related to exposure that 28 Another category of risk that encountered a difficult hard market was snow removal operations This again arises from liability exposures Ontario took some steps to reduce liability exposures for slip and falls but this was relatively minor in the overall litigation environment With 2021 results now finalized it appears that industry numbers were strong from the profitability standpoint This may serve to mitigate the hard market although it is still too early to predict particularly as it relates to the potential for longtail casualty claims In addition there is a sense that the strong investment returns will not be repeated in 2022 With interest rates expected to rise significantly throughout 2022 fixed income investment returns will be challenging This will place additional emphasis on pricing and underwriting for profitability Troubling trends that intensified in late 2021 were supply chain disruptions and inflation Each of these pressures can be expected to increase claims costs and put more pressure on profitability From a mutual standpoint strong pricing discipline in the industry will be required to maintain the path to profitability and to ensure long term stability in rates 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

Cyber Coverage Cyber is the most volatile of the commercial markets due to huge increases in both severity and frequency of cyber events This is a relatively new coverage but has become a critical financial safety net as cyber risk has exploded The pandemic has exacerbated cyber loss ratios due to security gaps and learning curves with more and more people accessing corporate networks while working from home Mutuals offer cyber coverage through a third party partnership and as a result do not retain cyber coverage but this is an increasingly prominent risk management area for mutual policyholders This will be both an ongoing need and a potential opportunity The cyber insurance market is global in nature and recent indications are that cyber coverage even with very significant increases in pricing in 2021 will continue to increase in price over the next couple of years For mutuals this will primarily be of concern as they attempt to obtain their own corporate coverage and to maintain existing partnerships to add cyber coverage to client portfolios In late 2021 the question as to whether some elements of cyber risk were uninsurable emerged for the first time High Value Homes A subgroup of mutuals formed a High Value Homes Working Group to develop a model to provide coverage to some higher value homes that fall within the mutual risk appetite and target market The working group prepared a detailed proposal on a model to create shared underwriting capacity but ultimately this proposal did not move ahead Given that the real estate market in Canada continues to boom and that there is an increasing willingness of Canadians to invest in higher value homes and renovations this remains a topic of interest for many mutuals We expect that there will continue to be discussions on how this market can be tackled profitably Credit Union Insurance Sales Although other provinces have allowed credit unions to handle some P C insurance sales in branches the Ontario government is looking to create a more liberal regime to allow credit unions to sell property casualty insurance products in their branches and on their websites The development of rules to support this went through two iterations of government consultations in 2021 and OMIA made submissions identifying some very specific rules required for consumer protection The Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario also provided some insightful input and the final rules as published appear to include the practices required to ensure appropriate separation of lending activities from insurance sales Given that credit unions are member based entities like mutuals there remains an interest in looking for strategic partnerships Mergers and Acquisitions The P C marketplace continues to consolidate Two of the biggest changes among larger Canadian based insurers was the approval by policyholders of Economical s demutualization and initial public offering as Definity and the acquisition of RSA by Intact and a Danish partner This will further consolidate the market share concentration among the largest Canadian insurers This market concentration raises the question of whether regulators will intervene at any point to ensure market diversity and competition Indications are that the concentration limit is not yet sufficient for concern Perhaps of even greater interest to mutuals is the ongoing consolidation in the broker distribution network Until 10 years ago most brokerages were independently owned small businesses Many of these small business operators however have sold brokerages to consolidators some of whom are controlled by underwriters The last couple of years has also seen an increasing infusion of capital from venture capitalists and the strategy to begin combining business operations of P C business lines with health and benefits providers The mutual owned Collectivfide has continued to acquire brokerages in 2021 and provides a meaningful alternative for brokers who wish to maintain a greater degree of independence while still being part of a larger communitybased insurance network Charitable Giving and Community Support The theme of charitable giving and community support continued strongly in 2021 There is a sense that the degree of economic recovery from the pandemic has not been evenly shared among all sectors and as a result continued support of good causes resonates with policyholders MarketWatch MarketWatch was published in January and July The July edition looked at the future of underwriting and ongoing requirements for data to enable more sophisticated pricing and eventually some greater digital capability with customers MarketWatch can be found on omia com under Member Resources Marketing Looking Ahead With economic headwinds inflation social unrest supply chain scarcity and the hoped for return to pre pandemic normality 2022 may be yet another unprecedented year 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 29

Regulatory Review Committee Report Mandate To review regulatory issues that affect member companies Chair John Stirk Dufferin Mutual 2021 Committee Members Shawn Durnin HT C Jeff Whiting Ayr Bryan Hicks Trillium Marg Torrance Halwell John Taylor OMIA Jackie Roy OMIA The Regulatory Review Committee is the key liaison with insurance regulators including the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario FSRA Regulatory oversight is an active area for insurers provincially nationally and globally In fact many insurers identify the threat of regulatory intervention as an enterprise risk The committee s areas of focus include regulatory requirements on solvency market conduct and governance These requirements continue to evolve in complexity and increasingly reflect international trends on financial regulation In 2021 FSRA continued to define and fill out its regulatory structure and its relationship with stakeholders This structure is more complex than its predecessor the Financial Services Commission of Ontario and it is a much bigger organization with more departments and headcount All of this has taken place against the backdrop of the pandemic and the many challenges posed by restrictions on in person meetings and industry outreach and education events In addition public and political pressure relating to premium relief for Ontario drivers created a new dynamic for the regulator in balancing prudent regulation with consumer expectations Early in 2021 FSRA released a Report from the Residents Reference Panel on Auto Insurance This was a special purpose consumer panel convened by FSRA to provide grass roots input on what a cross section of drivers in Ontario expect from their auto insurance This process and panel differed significantly from previous consumer consultations as it was drawn from a broad spectrum of drivers none of whom were involved with exiting advocacy groups trade associations or businesses in any way affiliated with auto insurance Senior FSRA staff shared the findings with OMIA and our members at our Managers Conference in May 2021 This was a good chance to hear consumer perspectives and to show FSRA our own commitment to a commonsense approach to insurance 34 Our Regulatory Review Committee also held a long awaited meeting with FSRA s Market Conduct Team in early August This meeting provided the Committee with a chance to hear FSRA s outlook on how Market Conduct will be supervised in the coming years and just as importantly a chance for the committee to showcase our policyholder focused insurance philosophy and the transparency and stability that mutuals create in the insurance market The work of this OMIA committee is a living example of how mutuals work together to combine all the benefits of operating as small independent insurers while working together to create a mutual network that benefits policyholders and communities across Ontario We look forward to regular meetings with our FSRA peers There has also been a broad range of consultations with FSRA and other Ministries and Agencies on proposed changes to statutes regulations and guidelines Ministry of Government and Consumer Services Corporations Act The onset of the pandemic in March 2020 created a dilemma where businesses incorporated under the Corporations Act such as mutual insurers were not allowed to hold annual meetings in person In 2020 temporary regulatory exemptions were put in place to allow these meetings to take place virtually and the mutuals successfully adapted to the virtual AGM meeting environment The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services opened a consultation about making some of these changes permanent and OMIA responded to this with written feedback The feedback included a recommendation that any changes to the Corporation Act ensured that electronic meetings could not be hijacked by interest groups to promote demutualization OMIA also asked for changes to the Corporations Act to reduce the restrictions on board composition for mutuals Currently mutual boards must total between 6 and 15 directors and the 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT

Page 35

board complement must be divisible by 3 We ve asked for the removal of this divisible by 3 requirement As of October 2021 no permanent changes have been announced but changes to allow virtual meetings will undoubted be introduced in 2022 Amendments on board composition are not expected without input from the Ministry of Finance and OMIA has initiated this work with the Ministry more cumbersome or time consuming for certain applicants The mutuals were not singled out but FSRA expects all auto insurers to spend the first months of 2022 identifying existing or potential violations and then correcting them Canadian Insurance Services Regulatory Organizations CISRO Principles of Conduct for Intermediaries CISRO is an umbrella organization for insurance regulators across Canada They have been tasked with putting more definition and uniformity on the Fair Treatment of Consumer Guidelines which have been published across Canada over the last few years Our committee made a submission to CISRO outlining our belief that in creating these guidelines the group should look for every opportunity to create simple transparent and understandable expectations for all insurers and all other insurance stakeholders Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices Rule UDAP As incorporated FSRA can create rules around insurance that previously would have required cabinet approval In early 2021 FSRA released its first working paper on proposed changes to the Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices section of the Insurance Act FSRA published a comprehensive proposal and the Regulatory Review Committee provided its detailed input to FSRA in March The key principles supported by OMIA centered around ensuring that changes to UDAP do not put an unfair burden on smaller enterprises recognizing that many small insurers would face unnecessary and expensive burden if reporting requirements were increased In its submissions OMIA often refers to this as the principle of the proportionality In addition OMIA cautioned FSRA to be careful in casting strict liability nets for penalties that may be imposed against boards of directors We support accountability and responsibility for boards of directors but also recognize that in some cases the levels of regulatory liability imposed on directors can be a significant obstacle to recruiting the types of community minded grassroots individuals who compose mutual boards As 2021 came to a close FSRA published the results of its lengthy study on violations by insurers of Take All Comers as related to auto insurance applications FSRA noted issues primarily related to the use of systems to screen out potential applicants by making the application process We will continue to provide detailed responses to this group as the work they are doing at a national level will increasingly impact provincial regulation Ministry of Finance The Ministry of Finance intend to allow credit unions to sell property casualty insurance products in their branches and on their websites OMIA made a detailed submission to the Ministry outlining our strong recommendation that specific rules be put in place to ensure no tied selling of products c omplete transparency on commission and referral fee arrangements r estrictions are placed on data sharing between credit union operations and insurance sales operations and t hat the insurance distributor in the credit union must be a separate corporate entity from the credit union itself After a second consultation in late 2021 by the Ministry on published draft rules a further submission was made in support of input provided by the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario to further clarify and strengthen the separation of deposit taking and lending from insurance sales We believe the final rules will be much better as a result of this consultation process Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators CCIR Incentive Management This is another umbrella organization of insurance regulators who have been active in developing standards that will probably filter down to each provincial level OMIA has and continued on next page 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 35

will be making submissions relating to consultations on how incentive programs should be managed by property casualty insurers Prudential Supervision Solvency Review Fire Mutuals Guarantee Fund members are somewhat unique as their solvency is supervised by FSRA The majority of insurers in Canada are supervised by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions a federal agency The Fire Mutuals Guarantee Fund and OMIA have developed a unique relationship with provincial supervision over the years and the strength of the guarantee fund system is a distinct benefit to policyholders Regulatory Compliance Roundtable This Roundtable was established two years ago evolving out of the Privacy Officer s Roundtable A working group creates agendas and the Roundtable meets twice per year Any area that creates a compliance requirement for mutuals is fair game for consideration by the Roundtable The Roundtable s objective is to provide research and education as well as an informal discussion forum for individuals at mutuals who are tasked with compliance to develop their capabilities Bryan Hicks has served as the Chair of the Roundtable and Jackie Roy has taken lead from the OMIA side of the process We hope to see increased participation by members in 2022 and the recently published Compliance Corner will highlight areas the roundtable is studying Privacy Privacy law continues to develop in Canada and has been of greater importance than ever with the escalation of cybercrime and the threat to the security of personal information Over the past two years we have been working with FSRA as they tailor their approach to solvency supervision The work of the Financial Review Committee in maintaining our relationship and adapting to emerging solvency needs has been a critical piece of this work The committee and OMIA are participating in a FSRA Technical Advisory Committee on an Insurance Prudential Solvency Framework to formalize their plan for solvency supervision moving forward John Taylor Glenn Taylor Steve Grant and Bryan Hicks are participating in this committee 36 OMIA monitors changes in privacy legislation and provides educational opportunities to ensure privacy requirements are being met Looking Ahead Regulatory requirements for insurers and for many businesses across Ontario have become increasingly complex and are difficult to navigate As we look ahead to 2022 we anticipate that many of the consultations which were started by regulatory bodies in 2021 will result in new guidelines or regulatory compliance requirements Our objective is to ensure that regulators are aware of any adverse outcomes of the potential of any proposals and to ensure that mutuals are ready to meet new requirements as they come into force 2021 ONTARIO MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT
