Chubb Easy Select Critical Illness Plus

Hong Kong people have always been working for long hours, prioritizing work over rest and proper meals to the detriment of our health. In the unfortunate event of a critical illness, it may be difficult to afford a large amount of medical fees suddenly, and worse still, one’s existing critical illness plan(s) may not be sufficient to cover all the living expenses and medical fees. Chubb Easy Select Critical Illness Plus (“Easy Select” or the “Basic Plan”) provides you with a tailored critical illness coverage where you will receive 15 years of critical illness protection for three Core Critical Illnesses (Cancer, Heart Attack and Stroke) as well as three Self-Selected Critical Illnesses. If the Basic Plan is still in force and no claim has been made, a guaranteed Cash Value equivalent to 105% of Total Basic Premiums Paid will be payable to you upon policy maturity.

Product Feature Highlights

Tailored Critical Illness CoverageEasy Select provides 3+3 critical illness protection including three Core Critical Illnesses and three Self-Selected Critical Illnesses. Upon the Insured has been diagnosed with one of the covered Core Critical Illnesses or Self-Selected Critical Illnesses during the benefit term, a Critical Illness Benefit equivalent to 100% of the Sum Assured shall be payable to the policyowner.

Please refer to the policy provisions for details of the covered critical illnesses. * The policyowner can change the selection of Self-Selected Critical Illnesses before the end of cooling-off period or within a period of 30 days after the 5th Policy Anniversary and 10th Policy Anniversary, provided that the Insured has never been diagnosed with and/or has not within the last 30 days immediately before the application shown any symptom for any of the Self-Selected Critical Illnesses selected and indicated in the application for change of selection of Self-Selected Critical Illnesses.

This product brochure provides an overview of the key features of this product and should be read along with other materials which cover additional information about this product. Such materials include, but not limited to, policy provisions that contain exact terms and conditions, benefit illustrations (if any) and other policy documents and other relevant marketing materials, which are all available upon request. You might also consider seeking independent professional advice if needed.

Key Product Risks

The following information helps you better understand the key product risks associated with this product that you may need to pay attention before application.

■ Premium Payment TermYou should only apply for this product if you intend to pay the premium for the whole of the premium payment term. Should you cease paying premiums early, your policy may be terminated. You will lose your insurance coverage and even the premiums paid as a result.

■ Premium AdjustmentThe Company reserves the right to review and adjust the premium rates of this product based on our expectation and experience of a series of factors including but not limited to investment returns, claims, policy surrenders and expenses. The

Company will give prior written notice of any adjustment in premium rates.

■ Liquidity Risk/Early Surrender If you have any unexpected liquidity needs, you may surrender the policy for its surrender value (if any). You are reminded that if your policy is surrendered in early years, the surrender value payable may be less than the premiums paid by you.

■ Credit RiskThis product is issued and underwritten by the Company. Your policy is therefore subject to the credit risk of the Company. If the Company is unable to satisfy the financial obligation of the policy, you may lose your insurance coverage and the premiums paid.

■ Exchange Rate RiskFor the policy denominated in currencies other than local currency, you are subject to exchange rate risk. The political and economic environment can affect the currency exchange rate significantly. Exchange rate fluctuates and is determined by the Company from time to time. Any transaction in foreign currencies involves risk. You should take exchange rate risk into consideration when deciding the policy currency.

■ Inflation Risk Please note that the cost of living in the future is likely to be higher than it is today due to inflation. Hence, the insurance coverage planned today may not be sufficient to meet your future needs.

Termination

The Basic Plan and its coverage will be terminated automatically on the occurrence of the earliest of the following:

■ Lapse or surrender of the policy;

■ Upon the date of initial diagnosis of the relevant Core Critical Illness or

U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Under the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) is required to report to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) certain information on U.S. persons that hold accounts with that FFI outside the U.S. and to obtain their consent to the FFI passing that information to the IRS. An FFI which does not sign or agree to comply with the requirements of an agreement with the IRS (“FFI Agreement”) in respect of FATCA and/or who is not otherwise exempt from doing so (referred to as a “nonparticipating FFI”) will face a 30% withholding tax (“FATCA Withholding Tax”) on all “withholdable payments” (as defined under FATCA) derived from U.S. sources (initially including dividends, interest and certain derivative payments).

The U.S. and Hong Kong have signed an inter-governmental agreement (“IGA”) to facilitate compliance by FFIs in Hong Kong with FATCA and which creates a framework for Hong Kong FFIs to rely on streamlined due diligence procedures to (i) identify U.S. indicia, (ii) seek consent for disclosure from its U.S. policyholders and (iii) report relevant tax information of those policyholders to the IRS.

FATCA applies to Chubb Life Insurance Company Ltd. (the “Company”) and this Product. The Company is a participating FFI. The Company is committed to complying with FATCA. To do so, the Company requires you to:

(i) provide to the Company certain information and documentation including, as applicable, your U.S. identification details (e.g. name, address, the US federal taxpayer identifying numbers, etc); and

(ii) consent to the Company reporting this information and documentation and your account information (such as account balances, interest and dividend income and withdrawals) to the IRS.

If you fail to comply with these obligations (being a “Non-Compliant Accountholder”), the Company is required to report “aggregate information” of account balances, payment amounts and number of non-consenting US accounts to IRS.

The Company could, in certain circumstances, be required to impose FATCA Withholding Tax on payments made to, or which it makes from, your policy. Currently the only circumstances in which the Company may be required to do so are:

(i) if the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong fails to exchange information with the IRS under IGA (and the relevant tax information exchange agreement between Hong Kong and the U.S.), in which case the Company may be required to deduct and withhold FATCA Withholding Tax on withholdable payments made to your policy and remit this to the IRS; and

(ii) if you are (or any other account holder is) a nonparticipating FFI, in which case the Company may be required to deduct and withhold FATCA Withholding Tax on withholdable payments made to your policy and remit this to the IRS.

You should seek independent professional advice on the impact FATCA may have on you or your policy.

Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information

Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (“AEOI”) is an arrangement that involves the transmission of financial account information from Hong Kong to an overseas tax jurisdiction with which Hong Kong has entered into an AEOI agreement. In Hong Kong, the relevant legislative framework for implementation of AEOI is laid down in the Inland Revenue Ordinance.

The Inland Revenue (Amendment) (No. 3) Ordinance 2016 requires financial institutions in Hong Kong, to identify and report information relating to financial accounts held by customers that are tax residents of reportable jurisdictions to the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”).

Chubb Life Insurance Company Ltd. (“Chubb”) must comply with the following requirements of Inland Revenue Ordinance to facilitate the IRD automatically exchanging certain financial account information as provided for thereunder:

(i) to identify certain accounts as “non- excluded financial accounts” (“NEFAs”);

(ii) to identify the jurisdiction(s) in which NEFA-holding individuals and certain NEFA-holding entities reside for tax purposes;

(iii) to determine the status of certain NEFA-holding entities as “passive NFEs” and identify the jurisdiction(s) in which their “controlling persons” reside for tax purposes;

(iv) to collect certain information on NEFAs (“Required Information”); and

(v) to furnish certain Required Information to the IRD (collectively, the “AEOI requirements”).

In order to comply with the AEOI requirement, from January 1, 2017, Chubb requires account holders (including individual, entities and controlling person) for all new accounts to complete and provide us with a self-certification for tax residence. As for pre-existing accounts, if Chubb has doubt about the tax residence of an account holder (including individual, entities and controlling person), it may require the account holder to provide a self-certification for tax residence.

As a financial institution, Chubb cannot provide you with any tax advice. If you have any doubts about your tax residence status and the impact of AEOI on your policy, you should seek independent professional advice.

It is an offence under section 80(2E) of the Inland Revenue Ordinance if any person, in making a self-certification, makes a statement that is misleading, false or incorrect in a material particular AND knows, or is reckless as to whether, the statement is misleading, false or incorrect in a material particular. A person who commits the offence is liable on conviction to a fine at level 3 (i.e. HK$10,000).
