14.2.3 Level 3 financial instrument sensitivities 
 
Included in Level 3 investments are two property investment structures with a value of £29 million within fixed and
variable rate income securities (30 June 2013 Restated: £18 million; 31 December 2013 Restated: £15 million) and £118
million within investment in joint ventures (30 June 2013 Restated: £104 million; 31 December 2013 Restated: £125
million). 
 
Both investments have been valued by taking the fair value of the property within the structures, which have been
independently valued, less the fair value of the debt within the structures. The valuations are sensitive to movements in
yields on the underlying property portfolio. An increase in yields of 25bps would reduce the value of the first investment
by £8 million (30 June 2013: £9 million; 31 December 2013: £8 million) and the second investment by £21 million (30 June
2013: £22 million; 31 December 2013: £23 million). A reduction in yields of 25bps would increase the value of the first
investments by £9 million (30 June 2013: £10 million; 31 December 2013: £9 million) and the second investment by £25
million (30 June 2013: £25 million; 31 December 2013: £25 million). 
 
Level 3 investments in indirect property, equities (including private equity) and collective investment schemes (including
hedge funds) are valued using net asset statements provided by independent third parties, and therefore no sensitivity
analysis has been prepared. 
 
Debt securities categorised as Level 3 investments are valued using broker quotes. Although such valuations are sensitive
to estimates, it is believed that changing one or more of the assumptions to reasonably possible alternative assumptions
would not change the fair value significantly. 
 
Borrowings measured at fair value and categorised as Level 3 financial liabilities comprise the property reversion loans,
measured using an internally developed model. The valuation is sensitive to increases (decreases) in the fair value of
relevant residential property reversions which would result in a higher (lower) fair value of property reversion loans.
Details of the valuation of the underlying residential property reversions are included in note 13.

Consistent with the prior year, all the Group's Level 1 and Level 2 assets have been valued using standard market pricing
sources. 
 
The application of the Group's fair value hierarchy classification methodology at an individual security level in
particular observations with regard to measures of market depth and bid-ask spreads, have resulted in an overall net
movement of financial assets from Level 2 to Level 1 in the period.

During the period, updates to the Group's observations with regard to the extent to which inputs to the valuation of fixed
and variable rate income securities are market observable resulted in a net transfer from Level 3 to Levels 1 and 2. 
 
Gains and losses on Level 3 financial instruments are included in net investment income in the consolidated income
statement. There were no gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income.

16. Related party transactions 
 
The nature of the related party transactions of the Group has not changed from those referred to in the Group's
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013. 
 
During the period, the PGL Pension Scheme entered into a longevity swap with PLL with effect from 1 January 2014, under
which the Scheme has transferred the risk of longevity improvements in respect of its in-payment members to PLL. This
transaction has been eliminated upon consolidation and therefore has had no impact on the interim financial statements. 
 
There were no other transactions with related parties during the six months ended 30 June 2014, which have had a material
effect on the results or financial position of the Group. 
 
17. Contingent liabilities 
 
In the normal course of business the Group is exposed to certain legal issues, which involve litigation and arbitration. At
the period end, the Group has a number of contingent liabilities in this regard, none of which are considered by the
directors to be material. 
 
18. Events after the reporting period 
 
On 1 July 2014 the Group completed the divestment of Ignis Asset Management to Standard Life Investments and gross cash
consideration of £390 million was received. £250 million of these proceeds were used to prepay the Impala loan facility. 
 
On 7 July 2014 the Group's new financing subsidiary, PGH Capital Limited, issued a £300 million 7 year senior unsecured
bond at an annual coupon rate of 5.75%. The net proceeds from the bond issue of £296 million were used to prepay the Impala
loan facility. 
 
On 23 July 2014 PGH Capital Limited entered into a new £900 million 5 year unsecured bank facility which along with a £206
million debt prepayment from internal resources was used to refinance the entirety of the Group's existing two bank
facilities and PIK notes, replacing the Pearl and Impala loan facilities with a single debt facility. 
 
The new facility comprises a £450 million revolving credit facility ('RCF') loan and a £450 million amortising term loan.
Both loans are repayable by July 2019 with an option to request an extension to the term of the RCF loan by two years to
July 2021. Further terms of the facilities agreement include: 
 
−  Term facility repayment instalments of £30 million are due semi-annually on 30 June and 31 December each year.
Additional target repayments of £30 million may be paid semi-annually on 30 June and 31 December each year from 30 June
2015, non-payment of which would trigger restrictions on the Group regarding the declaration of dividends; 
 
−  The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an opening margin of 3.50% p.a. and the RCF loan at LIBOR plus an opening
margin of 3.25% p.a.. After six months the margins will change in accordance with a margin ratchet which operates by
reference to the Group's gearing ratio. Margins will reduce by 0.50% on achievement of an investment grade rating. 
 
−  Amongst other fees, a utilisation fee of 0.25% p.a. is payable in respect of the RCF loan for so long as the amount
outstanding under the RCF exceeds 50% of the total commitments of the RCF loan. 
 
On 31 July 2014 the Group entered into a reinsurance agreement, effective 1 January 2014, to transfer approximately £1.7
billion of annuity in-payment liabilities, currently held within the Group's with-profit funds, to Guardian Assurance
Limited ('Guardian'). On 11 August 2014 the Group made an associated transfer of £1.7 billion of assets to Guardian as the
related reinsurance premium for the transferred annuity liabilities. 
 
On 20 August 2014, the Board declared an interim dividend per share of 26.7p for the half year ended 30 June 2014 (30 June
2013: 26.7p). The cost of this dividend has not been recognised as a liability in the interim financial statements for the
period to 30 June 2014 and will be charged to the statement of consolidated changes in equity when paid.
