Forward-looking statements are generally identified by words and expressions such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “may”, “plan” or any variations or similar terminology of these words and expressions, or conditional verbs such as, without limitations, “would” and “could”. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements because, by their nature, they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside AXA’s control, and can be affected by other factors that could cause AXA’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. Readers are therefore cautioned that a variety of factors could influence and cause actual results to differ from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statements, in some instances materially. Each forward-looking statement speaks only

Please refer to Part 5 – “Risk Factors and Risk Management” of AXA’s Universal Registration Document for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Universal Registration Document”) for a description of certain important factors, risks and uncertainties that may affect AXA’s business and/or results of operations. AXA specifically disclaims and undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.
