I. Other notes
I1. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES held for sale
The balances as at 31 December 2015 relate to the Part VII transfer of a portfolio of annuity liabilities to ReAssure
Limited and the agreement to sell the Group's interest in an investment property joint venture held by Pearl Breakfast Unit
Trust.
2016 2015
£m £m
Assets classified as held for sale:
Reinsurers' share of insurance contract liabilities - 1,521
Investment in joint venture - 149
- 1,670
Liabilities classified as held for sale:
Liabilities under insurance contracts - 1,587
- 1,587
I1.1 Annuity liabilities transfer
On 31 July 2014, the Group entered into a reinsurance agreement, effective from 1 January 2014 to reinsure certain
portfolios of the Group's annuity liabilities to ReAssure Life Limited (formerly Guardian Assurance Limited) in exchange
for the transfer of financial assets of £1.7 billion. The annuity in-payment liabilities were held in the Group's
with-profit funds. On 30 December 2016, the reinsurance agreement was replaced by a formal scheme under Part VII of the
Financial Services and Market Act 2000 to transfer the annuity liabilities to ReAssure Limited, a fellow subsidiary of
ReAssure Life Limited. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in 2015 were extinguished at the time of
transfer. The carrying value of liabilities and assets transferred and the resulting gain are set out below:
£m
Liabilities
Liabilities under insurance contracts 1,652
Assets
Reinsurers' share of insurance contract liabilities 1,582
Net liabilities transferred 70
Consideration (18)
Gain on transfer of business 52
As the portfolio of annuities was previously held in unsupported with-profit funds, the gain is offset by an equivalent
increase in policyholder liabilities and there is no net impact on the Group's result for the period.
At 31 December 2015, under the terms of this reinsurance agreement, ReAssure Life Limited held assets in a collateral
account over which the Group had a fixed charge as disclosed in note F3.2.
I1.2 Sale of Pearl Breakfast Unit Trust
At 31 December 2015 the Group invested in an investment property joint venture which was held by the Pearl Breakfast Unit
Trust. In 2015 the Group committed to selling the Pearl Breakfast Unit Trust (and consequently its investment in the joint
venture) and on 25 February 2016 the units in the Pearl Breakfast Unit Trust were sold at their fair value to Tesco
Property Holdings (No.2) Limited and Tesco Property Holdings Limited. As part of the sale agreement Tesco plc also
purchased the Group's investment in Tesco Property Partner (GP) Limited. No gain or loss arose on this disposal.
I2. Share-based payment
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing services are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. Further details
regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set below.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At each period end,
the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of
non-market-based vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the
consolidated income statement such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate with a corresponding
adjustment to equity.
I2.1 Share-based payment expense
The expense recognised for employee services receivable during the year is as follows:

I2.2 Share-based payment schemes in issue
Long-Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP')
The Group implemented a long-term incentive plan to retain and motivate its senior management group. The awards under this
plan are in the form of nil-cost options to acquire an allocated number of ordinary shares. Assuming no good leavers or
other events which would trigger early vesting rights, the 2013, 2014 and 2015 LTIP awards are subject to performance
conditions tied to the Company's financial performance over a three-year period in respect of growth in MCEV (up to 31
December 2015), growth in Own Funds (from 1 January 2016), cumulative cash generation and total shareholder return ('TSR').
The 2016 LTIP award is subject to performance conditions tied to the Company's performance in respect of cumulative cash
generation and TSR.
For all LTIP awards made from 2015 onwards, a holding period applies so that any LTIP awards for which the performance
vesting requirements are satisfied will not be released for a further two years from the third anniversary of the original
award date. Dividends will accrue on LTIP awards until the end of the holding period. There are no cash settlement
alternatives.
2016 LTIP awards were granted on 30 March 2016 and 2 June 2016. The number of shares for all outstanding LTIP awards has
been increased to take into account the impact of the Group's rights issue (see note D1). This adjustment has been based on
the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price. The 2013 LTIP awards vested during the year. The 2014 award will vest on 26 March 2017,
the 2015 award will vest on 28 September 2018 and the 2016 awards will vest on 30 March 2019 and 2 June 2019.
The fair value of these awards is estimated at the share price at the grant date, taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value is adjusted in respect of the TSR performance condition
which is deemed to be a 'market condition'.
Sharesave scheme
The sharesave scheme allows participating employees to save up to £250 each month over a period of either three or five
years. This amount was increased to £500 each month with respect to the sharesave schemes from 2014 onwards.
Under the sharesave arrangement, participants remaining in the Group's employment at the end of the three or five year
saving period are entitled to use their savings to purchase shares at an exercise price at a discount to the share price on
the date of grant. Employees leaving the Group for certain reasons are able to use their savings to purchase shares if they
leave less than six months before the end of their three or five year periods.
The fair value of the awards has been determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Key assumptions within this
valuation model include expected share price volatility and expected dividend yield.
The 2011 and 2012 sharesave awards were increased during 2013, and the exercise prices updated, as a result of the equity
raising on 21 February 2013. All sharesave awards were increased in November 2016 following the Group's rights issue (see
note D1). The exercise price of these awards was also amended as a result of this issue. The 2016 sharesave awards were
granted on 25 April 2016.
The following information was relevant in the determination of the fair value of the 2012 to 2016 sharesave awards in the
year:

Deferred bonus share scheme ('DBSS')
Each year, part of the annual incentive for certain executives is deferred into Phoenix Group Holdings' shares. This grant
of shares is conditional on the employee remaining in employment with the Group for a period of three years. For DBSS
awards made in 2015 and for those to be made in subsequent years, the three year deferral period will run to the dealing
day following the three year anniversary of the announcement of the annual results. Dividends will accrue for DBSS awards
over the three year deferral period. The 2016 DBSS was granted on 30 March 2016 and 2 June 2016 and is expected to vest on
24 March 2019. The number of shares for all outstanding DBSS awards has been increased to take into account the impact of
the Group's rights issue (see note D1). This adjustment has been based on the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price. The 2013 DBSS
awards vested during the year. The 2014 awards are expected to vest on 28 March 2017 and the 2015 awards are expected to
vest on 19 March 2018.
The fair value of these awards is estimated at the share price at the grant date, taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the options were granted.

I4. Capital management
This note sets out the Group's approach to managing capital, provides a description of what the Group manages as capital
and explains the regulatory requirements and capital policies of the Group and its life companies.
Risk and capital management objectives
The risk management objectives and policies of the Group are based on the requirement to protect the Group's regulatory
capital position, thereby safeguarding policyholders' guaranteed benefits whilst also ensuring the Group can meet its
various cash flow requirements. Subject to this, the Group seeks to use available capital to achieve increased returns,
balancing risk and reward, to generate additional value for policyholders and shareholders.
In pursuing these objectives, the Group deploys financial and other assets and incurs insurance contract liabilities and
financial and other liabilities. Financial and other assets principally comprise investments in equity securities, fixed
and variable rate income securities, collective investment schemes, property, derivatives, reinsurance, trade and other
receivables, and banking deposits. Financial liabilities principally comprise investment contracts, borrowings for
financing purposes, derivative liabilities and net asset value attributable to unit-holders.
The risk management disclosures in the IFRS consolidated financial statements set out the major risks that the Group
businesses are exposed to and describe the Group's approach to managing these. The section on financial risk is included in
note E6, the section on insurance risk is included in note F4 and the sections on risk and capital management objectives
and other risks are included below. The Group's risk management framework is described in the Risk Management section on
pages 34 to 39 of the Annual Report and Accounts.
Other risks
Customer risk
Customer risk is the risk of reductions in earnings and/or value, through inappropriate or poor customer treatment
(including poor advice).
Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of reductions in earnings and/or value, through financial or reputational loss, from
