CSFB'S OPINION

    SUN LIFE'S PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE ANNUITIES SEGMENT IS FAIR, AS OF THE
    DATE HEREOF, TO LIBERTY FINANCIAL COMPANIES FROM A FINANCIAL POINT OF VIEW








ASSET MANAGEMENT





                                                                            15



ASSET MANAGEMENT BUSINESS


- - Withdrawal of First Union has resulted in no immediate acquiror for Asset
  Management business


- - CSFB believes that a successful remarketing of the business can be
  accomplished


   - Certain potential asset management acquirors were occupied with other
     activities in late 2000

   - Certain potential asset management acquirors may have been skeptical
     that a separate sale of the asset management business would be possible

- - CSFB has had contact with 61 potential buyers:


   - 26 U.S. and Canadian Institutions


   - 28 European


   - 7 Rest of world


- - Given Asset Management Q1 results, expected value is likely to be lower
  than First Union's proposal



                                                                            16


SALE OF ASSET MANAGEMENT BUSINESS


- -  Results in Q1 are 30% below management plan


- -  $7.9BN reduction to AUM in Q4 2000 and Q1 2001 from market action
