Venezuela

In 2010, Venezuela’s currency was devalued and this is the reason for the decline shown between
2009 and 2010. 2011 figures were estimated; i.e., we had the total figures for 2011, but not the
breakdown by line. So, we made a projection trying to maintain the previous year relation.

Anyway, there was a 24% growth. So we assume that in 2011 surety bonds were growing hand
in hand with the rest of the lines.
