                                 INTRODUCTION

  This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-
3") is being filed by Pacific Asset Management LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("PAM"), in connection with the acquisition of PIMCO
Advisors Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership") by
Allianz AG through the merger of an indirect subsidiary of Allianz of America,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Allianz of America") with the Partnership
pursuant to an Implementation and Merger Agreement, dated October 31, 1999, by
and among Allianz of America, PAM, the Partnership, PIMCO Advisors L.P.
("PIMCO Advisors"), PIMCO Partners, LLC, PIMCO Holding LLC, PIMCO Partners,
G.P., and other parties named therein (the "Merger Agreement"). By filing this
Schedule 13E-3, the signatory does not concede that Rule 13e-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is applicable to the merger or other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

  Allianz of America, a subsidiary of Allianz AG, will acquire the Partnership
by merging an indirect subsidiary of Allianz of America into the Partnership,
with the Partnership as the surviving entity. In the merger, all of the
outstanding limited partner and general partner units in the Partnership will
be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount per unit equal to the
Unit Price which will be $38.75, without interest and subject to potential
downward adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement. As a result of the
merger, the Partnership will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Allianz of America. Following the merger, all of the equity interests in the
Partnership will be indirectly owned by Allianz of America. The former
unitholders in the Partnership will no longer have an interest in the
Partnership and therefore will not participate in its future earnings and
growth. Additionally, the Partnership's units will no longer trade on the New
York Stock Exchange, price quotations for the units will no longer be
available and the registration of the Partnership's units under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 will be terminated.

  Following the merger, subsidiaries of Allianz of America will, in a series
of transactions, acquire substantially all of the remaining interests in PIMCO
Advisors at the Unit Price, other than those interests beneficially owned by
PAM. PAM will retain an investment in PIMCO Advisors through a new general
partner to be formed by PAM and a subsidiary of Allianz of America. As a
result of the transactions, Allianz of America will control PIMCO Advisors,
having acquired approximately 70% of the outstanding partnership interests in
PIMCO Advisors.

  This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission concurrently with a preliminary proxy statement filed by the
Partnership pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Proxy Statement"). A copy of the Proxy Statement is
attached hereto as Exhibit (d)(1). The following cross reference sheet is
being supplied pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3 and shows
the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included
in this Schedule 13E-3. The information contained in the Proxy Statement,
including all exhibits thereto, is expressly incorporated herein by reference
and the responses to each item are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the information contained in the Proxy Statement and the exhibits thereto.

          You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the
fairness, from a financial point of view, of (i) the Holdings LP Merger
Consideration to the holders of Holdings LP Units, other than the Excluded
Holders (as defined below), (the "Holdings Covered Units"), and (ii) the
Advisors LP Merger Consideration to the holders of Class A Advisors LP Units,
other than the Excluded Holders, (the "Advisors Covered Units").  For purposes
of this opinion, "Excluded Holders" means Pacific Life Insurance Company and
each of its affiliates (including without limitation those entities holding the
Class A Advisors LP Units that are burdened by the ETAs), Partners LLC, Partners
GP and each of the managing directors of Pacific Management Investment Company
(including without limitation any units held for the benefit of such persons).

          In connection with rendering our opinion, we have, among other things:
(i) reviewed the October 27, 1999 draft of the Agreement (including the exhibits
thereto) in the form provided to us, and have taken into account the terms of
the Transaction set forth therein, including without limitation the Pacific
Arrangements and the Management Arrangements; (ii) reviewed certain publicly
available business and financial information that we deemed relevant relating to
Holdings LP, Advisors LP and the industry in which they operate; (iii) reviewed
certain internal non-public financial and operating data and other information
provided to us by the management of Holdings LP and Advisors LP relating to
Holdings LP's and Advisors LP's respective businesses, including certain
forecast and projection information as to the future financial results of such
businesses; (iv) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial
information with respect to certain other companies that we believed to be
relevant or comparable in certain respects to Holdings LP and Advisors LP, and
the trading markets for such other companies' securities; (v) reviewed and
analyzed certain publicly available and other information concerning the trading
of, and the trading market for, the Holdings LP Units; (vi) reviewed the
financial terms (including without limitation arrangements with management and
controlling persons to the extent publicly available) of certain business
combinations and acquisition transactions we deem reasonably comparable to the
Transaction and otherwise relevant to our inquiry; (vii) discussed with members
of senior management and other officers, employees and representatives of
Holdings LP and Advisors LP the foregoing, including the past and current
business operations, financial condition and prospects of Holdings LP and
Advisors LP; and (viii) considered such other information, financial studies,
analyses, investigations and financial, economic, market and trading criteria as
we deemed relevant to our inquiry.

          In our review and analysis and in arriving at our opinion, we have
assumed and relied upon, without assuming any responsibility for verification,
the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information
provided to, discussed with, or reviewed by or for us, or publicly available.
We also have assumed that the final form of the Agreement (including the
exhibits thereto) will not vary in any respect that is material to our analysis
from the last draft reviewed by us.  With respect to Holdings LP's and Advisors
LP's financial projections provided to, discussed with or reviewed for us by the
management of Holdings LP or Advisors LP, respectively, we have been advised by
management of Holdings LP and Advisors LP, respectively, and have assumed, that
they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently
available estimates and judgments on the part of management of Holdings LP or
<PAGE>

                                                                               4


Advisors LP, respectively, as to the future financial performance of Holdings LP
or Advisors LP, as applicable.  We express no view as to such projections or
information or the assumptions on which they are based.   We have not assumed
any responsibility for making or obtaining any independent evaluations or
appraisals of any of the assets or liabilities of Holdings LP or Advisors LP,
nor for conducting a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of
Holdings LP or Advisors LP, and we have not been furnished with any such
evaluation or appraisal.  We have relied upon counsel to Holdings LP and
Advisors LP with respect to interpretations of the provisions contained in the
constituent documents and related agreements of Holdings LP and Advisors LP and
the application of applicable law to such documents and agreements.  Our opinion
necessarily is based on market, economic and other conditions as they exist and
can be evaluated on the date hereof, and we assume no responsibility to update
or revise our opinion based upon circumstances or events occurring after the
date hereof.  Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision to
effect the Transaction.

          In connection with the preparation of this opinion, we have not been
engaged by Holdings LP or Advisors LP to solicit third-party indications of
interest for the acquisition of all or any part of Holdings LP or Advisors LP,
and we have not participated in the structuring of the Transaction or the
negotiation of the terms of the Agreement.

          As you are aware, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB") has acted as a
financial advisor to Holdings LP and Advisors LP in connection with the
Transaction and will receive a fee for such services, all of which fee will be
received in connection with the delivery of this opinion. In addition, Holdings
LP and Advisors LP have agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising
out of our engagement.  We, in the ordinary course of business, have from time
to time provided, and in the future may continue to provide, investment banking,
financial advisory and other related services to Holdings LP, Advisors LP,
Allianz A.G. and/or their respective affiliates, as the case may be, for which
we have or will receive fees.  In the ordinary course of business, we or our
affiliates may trade in the debt and equity securities of Holdings LP, Allianz
A.G. and/or their respective affiliates, as the case may be, for our own
accounts and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time
hold a long or short position in such securities.  In addition, we and our
affiliates (including Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates) may maintain business
relationships with Holdings LP, Advisors LP, Allianz A.G. and/or their
respective affiliates.

          This opinion is for the use and benefit of Advisors LP, Holdings LP,
Partners GP, Partners LLC and Holding LLC in the evaluation of the Transaction
and shall not be used for any other purposes.  Except for the foregoing persons,
this opinion is not intended to be relied upon or confer any rights or remedies
upon any person, including any employee, creditor, partner, member or other
equityholder of Holdings LP, Advisors LP, Partners LLC or any of their
respective affiliates.  This opinion shall not be reproduced, disseminated,
quoted, summarized or referred to at any time, in any manner or for any purpose,
nor shall any public references to SSB or any of its affiliates be made by
Holdings LP, Advisors LP, Partners LLC or any of their respective affiliates,
without the prior written consent of SSB.

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that,
as of the date hereof, (i) the Holdings LP Merger Consideration is fair, from a
financial point of view, to the holders of Holdings Covered Units, and (ii) the
Advisors LP Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
holders of Advisors Covered Units.

Transaction Overview

Transaction Structure:

- -    Allianz acquires all Units of PIMCO Advisors, except Units held by Pacific
     Life

     .    17.4 million Units held under ETAs receive, in the aggregate,
          approximately 16% of their consideration in common shares of Allianz
          A.G. and the balance in cash (a)
     .    All other Units acquired receive $38.75 in cash

- -    Pacific Life exchanges its retained Units for an equivalent number of newly
     issued Class E units to be held indirectly and subject to a put/call
     structure with Allianz

- -    Pacific Life will receive annual cash distributions after closing on its
     Class E units, equivalent to $1.05 per unit plus 20% of defined LTM "PIMCO
     Classic" pre-bonus profits (b)

- -    Pacific Life has the right to put all of its Class E units to Allianz at
     any time post-closing:            ---

     .    At a per-unit price equal to the Liquidity Multiple times the sum of
          $1.05 and 20% of LTM PIMCO Classic pre-bonus profits per-unit for the
          preceding four quarters (the "Put Price")
     .    Liquidity Multiple equal to 14.Ox ($38.75 divided by projected 1999
          Operating Profit Available for Distribution of $2.77)
     .    Maximum Put Price of $60.00 per Class E unit

- -    Allianz has the right to call all of Pacific Life's Class E units:
                                   ---
     .    In case of change of control of Pacific Life: At the end of the
          calendar year during which a change of control transaction is closed,
          at the higher of the Put Price and $38.75
     .    At any time after December 31, 2002: If the Put Price exceeds $50.00,
          at that price, but not to exceed $60.00 per Class E unit

- -    Pacific Life has indicated that it desires continued participation in PALP
     so as to permit continued inclusion of PALP assets in Pacific Life
     promotional and business development materials

(a)  We have assumed, based on discussions with management, that the per Unit
     value of such cash and stock is $38.75.
(b)  Based on discussions with PALP management, we have assumed that (i) the
     $1.05 fixed portion of such distributions is substantially equivalent to
     the projected distributions that would have been received on the non-PIMCO
     Classic business, and (ii) the transaction with Allianz will not have a
     material impact on the amount of PIMCO Classic distributions.

Transaction Overview


Representations and       Customary for transactions of this kind
Warranties:

Tax Treatment:            The transaction will be taxable. The acquisition of
                          PIMCO Advisors will create Section 197 intangibles
                          which can be amortized for tax purposes over 15 years.
                          The structure of the acquisition of Units underlying
                          ETAs and options is intended to achieve treatment as
                          compensation expense for Allianz (a)

Closing Conditions:       Customary for transactions of this kind, including (i)
                          a condition to the obligations of Allianz of a Revenue
                          Run-Rate flow not less than 75% of the level at
                          September 30, 1999, and (ii) a condition to the
                          obligations of all parties of the receipt of the
                          approval of the transaction by a majority of the
                          outstanding units of limited partnership interest in
                          PIMCO Advisors Holdings L.P.


(a)  Based on discussions with PIMCO Advisors management, we have assumed that
     (i) the agreement of Pacific Life is required in order for this tax benefit
     to be realized by Allianz, and (ii) that it has approximate incremental
     value to Allianz of $4.00 per Unit held by Pacific Life.

VI. Key Issues & Potential Alternatives
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Issues

     .    Bonus pool impact

          -    Allianz estimates annual impact of $27 mm (1999) increasing to
               $48 mm (2002)
          -    LF estimates range from $7 mm - $11 mm (1999) to $23 mm - $28 mm
               (2002)

     .    Quality of earnings from insurance assets

          -    Base fees cover costs (approx. $4.5 mm profit or 0.5 bps)
          -    Profit extremely sensitive to performance fees

     .    Uncertainty in estimating performance fees from insurance assets

          -    Investment restrictions limit total return opportunities
          -    Allianz assumption of active duration management inconsistent
               with PIMCO relative value orientation
          -    "Upside opportunities" with "special funds" and likely
               liberalization of investment guidelines (LF estimates may be too
               conservative in later years)

VI. Key Issues & Potential Alternatives
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Issues (cont`d)

     .    Retail assets account for approximately 40% to 65% of the near-term
          profit opportunity

          -    "Value-added" limited to provision of model portfolio
          -    Huge profit margin: assumption that model portfolio can be
               provided at zero marginal cost
          -    Unclear what support will be required to supervise implementation
               of model portfolio or other aspects of the retail sales effort

     .    PIMCO control over costs of the European investment organization

          -    PIMCO expected to directly supervise 6 to 10 portfolio managers,
               4 traders, and 12 client services representatives
          -    Allianz to provide non-investment services
          -    Large percentage of costs currently are allocated from Allianz to
               AAM
          -    How will PIMCO control the quality and cost of services provided
               by Allianz/ AAM?

     .    PIMCO incremental expenses

     .    Control over institutional marketing

VI. Key Issues & Potential Alternatives

Potential Alternatives to Allianz Proposal

     .    Alternative 1. Increase the base fee on life and P&C assets from 2 bps
          to 3 bps

          -    Rationale: provide reasonable level of total fees (3.4 bps to 4.3
               bps) and balance between base profit ($ 13.1 million) and
               performance upside ($1.7 to $10.3 million)
          -    Increases contribution by 8.6 million, bonus pool by $3.9 million

     .    Alternative 2. Increase the base fee on life assets only from 2 bps to
          3-4 bps

          -    Rationale: provide reasonable level of fees on asset class with
               the least performance upside: life 2 bps compares to P&C expected
               2.8 bps to 6A bps
          -    Increases contribution by $7.4 to $14.8 million, bonus pool by
               $3.3 to $6.6 million

     .    Alternative 3. Increase the base fee on life assets from 2 bps to 4
          bps with clawback. Clawback possibilities:

          -    Progressive reduction to P&C base fee level as investment
               restrictions on life assets are liberalized
          -    Reduce performance fee sharing percentage on life assets from 30%
               to 15%

     .    Alternative 4. Set the base fee on insurance assets at cost plus [2]
          bps with no performance fee

          -    Rationale: protect PIMCO profit margin if direct and/or allocated
               costs are not within PIMCO's control
          -    Results in contribution of $19.3 million, compared to $6.2 -
               $14.8 - under AZ proposal or $14.8 - $23.4 under Alternative 1
               above

     .    Alternative 5. Create performance-based fee structure for third-party
          institutional assets

          -    Rationale: most likely area of PIMCO outperformance; current base
               fees at low levels
          -    Would require AAM subsidy or new advisory contracts

IV. Proposed Equity Plan
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of Proposed Terms


      .   Adam will sell approximately 21.4% of Peter's equity in the form of
          limited partnership units (Units) to Peter MDs over the next five
          years. Peter's Compensation Committee will determine the allocation of
          equity among eligible employees.

      .   Peter's bonus pool will be reduced by 15% over the next five years
          (from 45% to 30%):

          --   4% in year 1
          --   3 1/2% in year 2
          --   3% in year 3
          --   2 1/2% in year 4
          --   2% in year 5

      .   Plan participants will purchase Units at Fair Market Value (FMV)
          reflecting a private market discount for illiquidity, transfer
          restrictions, etc. FMV will be 6.Ox the trailing twelve month's OPAD,
          giving effect to the reduced bonus pool (but not transaction-related
          charges, e.g., goodwill, retention bonus payments, etc).

      .   Plan participants will pay for Units with a full recourse 7% Note
          payable over five years (straight-line amortization). The base
          compensation of the participant will be increased in an amount equal
          to annual principal amortization and interest on the Note.
          Participants will pay income tax on the increased compensation but
          also receive regular distributions on the Units purchased.

          -- The increased compensation will not be charged against earnings for
             purposes of the bonus pool or the purchase price of Units

IV. Proposed Equity Plan
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of Proposed Terms (Cont'd)

      .   Peter will have the right to repurchase Units corresponding to the
          unpaid principal balance of the Note upon the participant's departure
          from Peter for any reason, by canceling the Note. These Units would be
          resold to other eligible employees at FMV and financed by a newly
          issued Note.


      .   Units which are not restricted by the Note (a pro rata number of Units
          -- 1/5 per year following purchase -- are "released" as the Note
          amortizes) may be sold by the participant, subject to limitations:

          --  While an active employee: Units may be sold only to other plan
              participants during an annual "window period" at privately
              negotiated prices

          --  Upon termination of employment: Until the second anniversary of
              departure Units may only be sold to Adam or plan participants who
              are actively employed, as described above. After this period Units
              may be sold in privately negotiated transactions to any accredited
              investor.

      .   Adam will have a call option on Units. The call is exercisable at the
          first, second and third anniversary of a plan participant's
          termination of employment. The call is transferable in any sale to an
          active employee but not to an unrelated private investor. The call
          price will be equal to a multiple of the trailing twelve month's OPAD
          which will vary depending upon Peter's weighted average 1-year and
          3-year investment performance:

          -- First quartile:           14.0x
          -- Second/third quartile:    12.0x
          -- Fourth quartile:          10.0x

     .    Plan participants will have a put option to Adam. The put is

          participant's termination of employment. The put is transferable in
          any sale to another active employee but not to an unrelated private
          investor. The put price will be equal to a multiple of the trailing

Executive Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Acquisition Transaction


     A.  Overview

     Through a series of related transactions, Allianz will acquire
     approximately 69% of the outstanding units of PIMCO Advisors LP (PALP),
     including all of the units held by PIMCO Advisors Holdings (PAH), and
     become the Managing General Partner of PIMCO Partners GP (Partners GP).
     Pacific Life will exchange approximately 31% of the Class A units for Class
     E units and enter into put/call arrangements with Allianz for the future
     disposition of its remaining economic interest.

     B.  Public Units of PIMCO Advisors Holdings LP

     Subject to approval of the PAH unitholders, an Allianz subsidiary will
     merge into PAH with PAH as the surviving entity. All of the PAH units will
     be converted into cash at the Unit Price (described below), and PAH units
     will cease to be publicly traded.

     C.  Employment Termination Agreements

     An Allianz subsidiary will offer to amend all of the outstanding employment
     termination agreements (ETAs) entered into in November 1994. The amendment
     will provide for (i) payment to the ETA holder of an amount equal to the
     Unit Price multiplied by the number of PALP units underlying his ETA (the
     ETA Payment), (ii) continuation of his covenant not to compete for the
     current term, but not more than five years from closing, and (iii)
     repayment of the ETA Payment if he violates his covenant not to compete
     during its term.

     With respect to the Cadence, NFJ and Parametric ETAs, approximately $16 per
     unit of each ETA Payment will be paid in cash directly to the ETA holder,
     and the balance will be paid in cash as the purchase price of his LP
     interest in Cadence Partners LP, NFJ Partners LP or Parametric Partners LP,
     as the case may be. The amendment will reference the sale of his LP
     interest to support the covenant not to compete.

     With respect to the Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) ETAs, the
     ETA Payments will be paid directly to the ETA holders. The active PIMCO MDs
     will receive 16% of their ETA Payments in stock of Allianz AG, valued at
     $273.99 per share, and the balance will be paid in cash. Other PIMCO MDs
     will receive their ETA Payments in cash.

     PALP units underlying the ETAs of Edington and Rabinovich (collectively the
     Former MDs) will be exchanged for  PALP Class B units in the PALP merger
     (described below). The Class B units will have a liquidation preference of
     the Unit Price, and a preferred distribution of 7.5% of the Unit Price per
     annum, payable quarterly.   The Class B units will be redeemed by PALP at
     the request of the Former MDs after five years from the Closing and will be
     redeemable by PALP after ten years from the Closing at the liquidation
     preference.  At any time between Closing and the expiration of their
     original ETA noncompete covenants, the Former MDs may deliver an ETA
     Amendment

Executive Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I.  Acquisition Transaction (Cont'd)

     substantially in the form of that signed by the other PIMCO MDs at Closing
     and receive the liquidation preference.  Under this option, the original
     ETA noncompete covenant will survive through the expiration of the original
     ETA noncompete term.

     D.  PALP Merger

     An Allianz sub will merge into PALP with PALP as the surviving entity.
     Except for the units held by Allianz and Pacific Life and their respective
     affiliates, all of the PALP Class A units will be converted into cash at
     the Unit Price.

     E.  Unit Options and Deferred Units

     Options on units will be converted into the right to receive cash in an
     amount equal to the difference between the Unit Price and the exercise
     price, plus interest at 8% per annum from the closing date, with payment
     expected to be approximately 100 days following closing.

     Deferred units will be converted into the right to receive cash equal to
     the Unit Price plus interest at 8% per annum from the closing date, payable
     as deferred units vest on the original vesting schedule.

     F.  Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

     Deferred compensation units and vested deferred restricted units will be
     exchanged for cash equal to the Unit Price.

     Unvested deferred restricted units will be converted into the right to
     receive cash equal to the Unit Price plus interest at 8% per annum from the
     closing date, payable as units vest on the original vesting schedule.

     Assets held by the Plan Trustee will be maintained in accounts for which
     investments will be individually directed by each participant.

               (b) Edington and Rabinovich will receive PALP Class B units.

     H.  Purchase of GP Interest in Partners GP

     Prior to closing, Allianz will acquire the GP interest in Partners GP held
     by Partners LLC for a nominal price in cash. Allianz would thereby become
     the managing partner of Partners GP.

     I.  Pacific Life

     As part of the transaction, Pacific Life will exchange all of its Class A
     units for Class E units. These preferred units will have a distribution
     equal to $1.05 per unit plus 20% of PIMCO's pre-bonus profits, calculated
     in accordance with the Profit Sharing Plan, but excluding the effects of
     (i) performance fees on the management of Allianz insurance assets, (ii)
     provision of subadvisory services to European retail assets sourced through
     Allianz, and (iii) the subsidy, if any, to the PIMCO bonus pool in 2001 and
     2002.

     Allianz and Pacific Life will enter into a put/call arrangement for the
     eventual disposition of the Class E units. At the end of any calendar
     quarter, Pacific Life may put any or all of the Class E units at a price
     equal to (i) 14 multiplied by (ii) the distribution per unit paid during
     the four preceding calendar quarters (excluding Stocks-Plus performance
     fees) (Per Unit Purchase Price). The Per Unit Purchase Price will not be
     greater than $60 per unit.

Executive Summary
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I.  Acquisition Transaction (Cont'd)


     At the end of any calendar quarter beginning December 31,2002, if the Per
     Unit Purchase Price is greater than $50, Allianz may call the Class E units
     at the Per Unit Purchase Price. At the end of any calendar year after a
     Change of Control occurs, Allianz may call the Class E units at the higher
     of the Unit Price or the Per Unit Purchase Price.

     J.  "Unit Price"

     The Unit Price will be equal to $38.75 per unit, provided, if the Revenue
     Run-Rate on the Unit Price Determination Date (the month end prior to
     closing) is less than 85% of the Revenue Run-Rate on September 30, 1999,
     the Unit Price will be reduced by 2% for each 1% below 85%, subject to a
     maximum reduction of 20%. For example:

                        Revenue        Unit       %
                        Run-Rate      Price   Reduction
                       -----------    ------  ---------
                       85% or more    $38.75     0%
                       80%             34.88    10%
                       75% or less     31.00    20%


     The Revenue Run-Rate is based upon annualized fees under all Advisory
     Agreements, excluding performance fees. Changes in the Revenue Run-Rate
     will result from net cash flows (including new accounts, account
     terminations, additions, withdrawals, distributions and reinvested income)
     since the definition excludes the impact of market fluctuations.

I.  Acquisition Transaction (Cont'd)


     K.  Summary of Other Key Provisions of the Implementation and Merger
         Agreement

          .  Representations and Warranties - The Pacific Life parties and
             Partners LLC will make various representations and warranties,
             including authorization to enter into the transaction, the accuracy
             and completeness of disclosed information and the absence of any
             material adverse change in the business. It is a condition to
             Allianz' obligation to close that these representations and
             warranties, as qualified, be true as of the signing of the
             definitive agreement and as of the closing.

          .  Covenants - The Sellers will be required to conduct business in the
             ordinary course between signing and closing, with explicit
             limitations on permissible changes in capital structure, dividends,
             contractual obligations, etc.

             The Sellers also agree not to solicit any competing acquisition
             proposals, but will have a "fiduciary out" to consider bona fide
             unsolicited offers. If a competing proposal is accepted and the
             Allianz transaction is terminated, PALP will pay a $180 million
             breakup fee to Allianz.

             Negative consents will be sought for the assignment of each
             advisory contract and proxies will be solicited for each Investment
             Company (the cost of proxy solicitations for Funds and PAH
             unitholders will be borne equally by PALP and Allianz). Sellers
             will use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of PIMCO Trust
             Co. and Columbus Circle Trust Company and will cooperate with
             Allianz in trying to obtain a revocation of the autonomy of Cadence
             and Parametric.

          .  Conditions - Includes the usual closing conditions relating to
             absence of a material adverse change (excluding any reduction in
             the Revenue Run-Rate), receipt of government approvals, PAH
             unitholder approval, absence of injunctions and accuracy of reps
             and warranties. Gross and Thompson shall have entered into
             Employment Agreements and at least 60% of the active Managing
             Directors (other than Gross and Thompson) as of signing shall be
             employees as of closing. In addition, as of the Determination Date,
             the Revenue Run-Rate shall not be less than 75% of the Revenue Run-
             Rate as of September 30, 1999. Other conditions relate to the
             Continuing Investment Agreement with Pacific Life and the
             Indemnification Agreement.

          .  Termination - Either party may terminate if the closing has not
             occurred by September 30, 2000. Allianz may terminate if the
             Revenue Run-Rate is less than 75% of the Revenue Run-Rate on
             September 30, 1999 for at least two consecutive calendar months.

I.  Acquisition Transaction (Cont'd)


          .  Indemnification - Pacific Life and the PIMCO MDs will indemnify
             Allianz for Losses resulting from breaches of representations,
             warranties and covenants under the Implementation and Merger
             Agreement. The representations and warranties will survive until
             the later of March 31, 2001 and the first annual audited financial
             statement of Advisors LP. However, the representations and
             warranties relating to taxes will survive until the expiration of
             the relevant statutory periods.

             A Covered Loss is a single claim which exceeds $5 million. The
             first $25 million of losses to Allianz (after insurance proceeds)
             resulting from Covered Losses (Allianz Losses) are not subject to
             indemnification. Allianz Losses in excess of $25 million
             (Indemnified Losses) will be allocated to Pacific Life and the
             PIMCO MDs in proportion to the PALP units beneficially owned by
             each of them just prior to closing, as a percentage of outstanding
             PALP units just prior to closing, regardless of fault.

             The PIMCO MDs will not indemnify Allianz for any Loss arising out
             of Cadence, NFJ or Parametric.

             Indemnification by PIMCO MDs will be capped at one-third of the
             Unit Price times the PALP units beneficially owned by them just
             prior to closing. Amounts payable under the PIMCO Retention Plan to
             the PIMCO MDs will be reduced by Indemnified Losses allocated to
             the PIMCO MDs, and if such reductions are not sufficient, amounts
             payable as the result of puts and calls under the Class B Unit
             Purchase Plan will then be reduced. No action will be brought
             against any MD personally. Any reduction to cover an Indemnified
             Loss not finally confirmed as such will be promptly paid to the
             PIMCO MDs with interest at 8%.

Executive Summary

II.  Retention Payments


       A. Senior MD Fixed Retention Awards

       A $391 million pool will be established for the Senior Managing Directors
       listed below. Recipients will execute five-year employment/non-
       solicitation agreements (except for Messrs. Podlich and Meiling, who will
       execute consulting/non-solicitation agreements). Each award will vest
       ratably over five years with the first 20% vesting on December 31, 2000.
       Payments will be made in cash on [a date which is the first anniversary
       of the closing date or a later date agreed by the parties] of the year
       following vesting.

       Breach of employment terms will result in forfeiture of unpaid retention
       bonus amounts; breach of competition/non-solicitation terms will
       additionally result in repayment of half of retention bonus amounts
       previously paid. Forfeited amounts will be reallocated to PIMCO
       executives not part of the original Senior MD group, but any reallocation
       must be related to a plan to replace the departed executive and requires
       the concurrence of the CEO of Allianz Asset Management (AAM).

       All Senior MD Fixed Retention Awards are subject to reduction in the
       event of Indemnified Losses under the Indemnity Agreement.

       B. Executive Fixed Retention Awards

       A $105 million pool will be established for other Managing Directors and
       officers of PIMCO. Unlike the Senior MD Fixed Retention Awards,
       Participants will not be required to execute employment agreements.
       Awards will vest over a three, four or five year period beginning
       December 31, 2000. Payments will be made in cash on [a date which is the
       first anniversary of the closing date or a later date agreed by the
       parties] of the year following vesting. The initial allocation of awards
       and reallocations of any forfeited awards require the concurrence of the
       CEO of AAM.

II.  Retention Payments (Cont'd)


     C.  Variable Retention Payments

     Five annual Variable Retention Payments ranging from $0 to $24 million will
     be made to PIMCO employees who are not Managing Directors based on the
     three-year growth rate of Adjusted Operating Profit Available for
     Distribution (OPAD).  The first three-year "Test Period" begins in 2000 and
     end in 2002; payments commence in 2003 on [a date which is the anniversary
     of the closing date or a later date agreed by the parties].  The
     Compensation Committee will allocate interests in each Variable Retention
     Payment in the quarter prior to the commencement of each three year period;
     additional allocations may be granted at any time prior to the Payment
     Date.  The initial allocation of awards and reallocations of any forfeited
     awards require the concurrence of the CEO of AAM.

     The amount of the Variable Retention Payment will be based on the three-
     year average percentage growth (Growth Rate) of PIMCO's Adjusted OPAD,
     excluding the effect of services to affiliated portfolios (i.e., profit on
     the management of Allianz insurance assets), for the periods ending
     December 31 of each of the years 2002 through 2006.  For each Test Period
     if the Growth Rate is:

         (1) 10% or less, no payment will be made;
         (2) greater than 10%, but less than 15%, the payment will be $1.8
             million for each 1% greater than 10%;
         (3) greater than 15%, but less than 20%, the payment will be $9.0
             million plus $3.0 million for each 1% greater than 15%; and
         (4) 20% or more, the payment will be $24 million.

     D.  Special Equity Incentive

     Bill Gross and Bill Thompson will each enter into seven-year employment
     agreements.  In recognition of their anticipated contributions to both
     PIMCO and AAM, $50 million of restricted Allianz common stock (182,488
     shares) would be awarded at closing, half to each.

     The stock would vest over five years:

       . Half would vest in equal annual amounts, contingent upon continued
         employment.
       . Half would vest in a proportion set each year at the discretion of the
         CEO of AAM.

II.  Retention Payments (Cont'd)


     E.  Non-PIMCO Transition and Incentive Compensation

     Separate pools will be established for non-PIMCO employees to fund
     transition and retention payments for the Corporate Services Group and
     incentives for the Equity and Retail groups.  These pools consist of fixed
     and performance components and aggregate between $66 - $141 million ($50 -
     $98 million), payable over seven years.

     The Corporate Services transition pool will consist of $9 million ($8
     million NPV) of payments from 2000 to 2003.  The Corporate Services
     retention pool consists of $39 million ($31 million of NPV) of payments
     from 2000 to 2004.  Any unallocated amounts will be added to the Equity
     group performance pool

     Each of the Retail and Equity groups will have a separate performance pool.
     The Retail group performance pool will consist of payments from $0-$1
     million per year, payable from 2000 to 2004.  The amount of the payment
     will be determined by annual gross sales growth.  If gross sales grow 6.7%
     or less, there will be no payment.  If gross sales grow at 13.3% or more,
     then the payment will equal $1 million (aggregate NPV of $4 million).  In
     between performance targets, the payment amount will be interpolated.

     The Equity group performance pool will consist of payments from $4 - $18
     million per year, payable from 2002-2006.  The Equity group performance
     pool will be further segmented into four pools, one for each equity style:
     value, GARP, growth and quantitative.  Allocations among the equity styles
     and allocations to individuals will be assigned at the beginning of each
     three-year period.  In aggregate, the Baseline payment for the entire
     Equity group will be $9 million (Baseline Amount) at a 10% revenue growth
     rate (Target CAGR).   For each style if the Target CAGR is

          (1) 6.7% or less, the payment will be 42% of the Baseline Amount;
          (2) 10%, the Baseline Amount will be paid;
          (3) 13.3% or more, the payment will be 204% of the Baseline Amount;
              and
          (4) in between performance targets, the payment will be interpolated.

Executive Summary

III. Governance


          A.  Limited Liability Company Agreement

          PIMCO will be converted to an LLC. The Agreement contemplates PALP
          being the sole member after PIMCO Management Inc. has been merged into
          PALP, resulting in the termination of PIMCO's structural semi-
          autonomy.

          PIMCO will be recapitalized with two classes of units: Class A Units,
          which are common equity, and Class B Units, which bear a special
          distribution that includes a share of the profits of Affiliated Fixed
          Income Managers. Class B Units will be sold to PIMCO Managing
          Directors pursuant to the Class B Unit Purchase Plan.

          B.  Written Consent

          The Managing Member of PALP (Allianz) will delegate all of its rights,
          powers and duties to manage and control PIMCO, except for certain
          reserved rights described below, to a Management Board composed of
          PIMCO Managing Directors. The delegation may be revoked at any time,
          but intervention in the absence of a Business Crisis will result in
          accelerated vesting and payment of various retention awards and Class
          B units (see C. below).

               .  allocation to Managing Directors of bonuses under the Profit
                  Sharing Plan and Class B Units under the Unit Purchase Plan
               .  promotions to Senior Vice President or Executive Vice
                  President
               .  nomination of new Managing Directors or material reassignment
                  or change in the role of a Managing Director

          The Consent also provides for committees of the Management Board,
          including the Executive Committee and the Compensation Committee, and
          specifies procedures for electing the CEO and the CIO:

               .  CEO will be nominated by majority board vote of the Management
                  Board and require formal approval from the CEO of AAM after
                  consultation with the CIO
               .  CIO will be nominated by majority board vote of the Management
                  Board and require formal approval from the CEO of AAM after
                  consultation with the CEO
               .  If both the CEO and CIO are to be replaced:
                  -  A MD will be appointed as CIO for a one-year trial term by
                     a super-majority vote following the Management Board's
                     consultation with Allianz
                  -  A person will be appointed as the CEO for a one-year trial
                     term by Allianz after consultation with the Management
                     Board
                  -  At any time during the one-year term, the CEO of AAM can
                     ratify the CIO's position, and the CEO's position can be
                     affirmed by a super-majority board vote of the Management
                     Board
                  -  If either fails to be affirmed, then both will be
                     terminated from their positions and the procedure will
                     begin again

          C.  Revocation of the Delegation; "Business Crisis"

          The side letter to the Written Consent sets forth the consequences of
          revoking the delegation or interfering in the conduct of PIMCO's
          business under any circumstances unless the Managing Member has made a
          good faith determination that internal circumstances exist at PIMCO
          which have not effectively been addressed by management and which, if
          continued, would likely result in a substantial impairment to the
          value of PIMCO (a "Business Crisis").

          These consequences include:

               .  Amounts due under the Retention Plan would immediately vest
                  and be payable according to the original schedule. The
                  covenant not to compete or solicit would continue for the
                  lessor of 18 months or the original term, but the obligation
                  to repay 50% of the payments previously made for violating
                  this covenant would cease.

               .  All shares of Allianz stock issued to Gross and Thompson under
                  the Restricted Stock Agreements would immediately vest.

               .  All Class B Unit repurchase rights upon Termination or
                  Disability would be cancelled. All Class B units would be
                  puttable at the greater of the then Put Price or the Put Price
                  calculated as of the date of intervention and callable at the
                  greater of the then Call Price or the Call Price as of the
                  date of intervention.

IV.  PIMCO Profit Sharing and Unit Purchase Plans


       A. PIMCO Non-Qualified Profit Sharing Plan

      The Plan supercedes the 1994 Plan and amends it in several important
      respects. Among the changes:

          .  The Profit Sharing Percentage is set at 42% for 2000, declining by
             3% per annum to 30% in 2004 and each year thereafter

          .  OPAD will not reflect any deductions for retention payments
             (including amounts equal to cash principal repayments made by
             employees in respect of promissory notes (Notes) to acquire PIMCO
             Class B units)

          .  Adjusted Net Profit is broadened to include earnings from
             Affiliated Fixed Income managers

          .  The Profit Participation Pools in 2000 and 2001 reflect a minimum
             of $10 million annual contribution from services to insurance
             portfolios of Affiliated Fixed Income Managers

       B. Unit Purchase Plan

       PALP will sell interests entitled to receive 15% of PIMCO's pre-profit
       sharing OPAD in the form of Class B units to PIMCO employees over the
       next five years, beginning January 1, 2000. 3% will be sold each year.
       PIMCO's Compensation Committee will determine the allocation of purchases
       among eligible employees. Among the key terms:

          .  Purchase Price - Participants will purchase the units at Fair
             Market Value (currently estimated at 6x trailing pro forma OPAD)

          .  Payment for Purchase - Payment will be in full recourse Notes
             (currently estimated interest rate of 7%). Principal will amortize
             for each series of Notes as indicated below; the base compensation
             of Participants will be increased by the amount of principal
             amortization. Notes may not be prepaid.

                      Units                  Amortization
                                  ----------------------------------
                    Purchased     2004     2005   2006   2007   2008
                    ---------     ----------------------------------
                      2000        100%

          .  Termination of Employment - Upon termination for any reason other
             than death or disability, PALP shall have the right to repurchase a
             number of units equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Note
             divided by the purchase price. PALP will acquire the units by
             canceling the unpaid balance of the Note.

Executive Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV.  PIMCO Profit Sharing and Unit Purchase Plans (cont'd)

          .  Death or Disability - In this event PALP will repurchase "paid"
             units at the Special Call Price (an average of the Put and Call
             prices), with the number of "paid" units equal to 20% for each year
             prior to termination. The remaining units will be purchased by
             canceling a pro rata portion of the unpaid Note balance.

          .  Call Rights - PALP will have the right on March 31 of each year to
             call up to 20% of Released Units (corresponding to the amortization
             of the Note). PALP also has the right to call some or all of the
             units held by terminated employees on March 31 of the year
             following the calendar year of termination and the first, second
             and third anniversaries thereafter.

          .  Put Rights - Participants will have identical put rights to PALP,
             except that the annual put right is cumulative.

          .  Put and Call Prices - Put and call prices will be determined with
             reference to (i) the Class B distribution amount for the calendar
             year most recently ended multiplied by (ii) the applicable
             multiple, which will depend upon PIMCO's weighted average three-
             year investment performance for the three calendar years most
             recently ended (see below) multiplied by (iii) 1.02.

          .  Third/Fourth Quartile Performance Adjustment - If PIMCO's
             investment performance is in the third or fourth quartile, the Call
             Multiples above are multiplied by a factor (the "CAGR Factor")
             which depends upon the most recent three-year annual growth rate in
             Adjusted Net Profit.

             PALP may choose either to exercise its call without regard to the
             CAGR Factor or suspend its call until the earlier of (i) two years
             or (ii) March 31 of the year following the calendar year in which
             investment performance is in the first or second quartile.

          .  Investment Performance - The audited AIMR composite return for
             portfolios employing PIMCO's Full Authority Composite Total Return
             investment methodology will be compared with the Frank Russell
             Universe of institutional portfolios most nearly corresponding to
             the investment objectives of the Total Return methodology.

             reduction in the event of Indemnified Losses under the Indemnify
             Agreement.

          .  Transfer Restrictions - Participants may not Transfer any Units
             except with the consent of Allianz. Allianz will not unreasonably
             withhold such consent if the Transfer relates to charitable or

       The following financial analysis illustrates the present value (at a 12%
       discount rate) of the Unit Purchase Plan at various operating income
       growth rates and investment performance quartiles. "Net PV" adjusts the
       "Gross PV" to reflect the reduction in cash flows to unit holders at
       lower bonus pool percentages. All amounts are presented on an after-tax
       basis.

Executive Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V.   Allianz Fixed Income Assets


     A.    Allianz Insurance Assets

     In 2000, PIMCO will begin to manage approximately $100 billion of Allianz
     Group affiliated portfolios.  A substantial portion of the resources
     required to manage and service these portfolios will be transferred from
     investment operations of Allianz.

     PIMCO will receive a management fee with base and performance components.
     The base fee will equal 2 basis points on Life/Health and P&C insurance
     assets (approximately 89% of the portfolio).  For Euroland and Europe funds
     (11% of the portfolio), the base fee will equal 5 basis points.
     Performance fees are calculated quarterly based upon trailing four quarters
     performance and will be based upon sharing the portfolio return (before
     fees) in excess of specified benchmarks, as outlined below:

          (a) Life/Health insurance assets:  Alpha below 10 basis points, 0% of
                                             alpha;
                                             Alpha of 11-21 basis points, 30% of
                                             alpha;
                                             Alpha of 22-50 basis points, 50% of
                                             alpha;
                                             Cap at 50 basis points.

          (b) P&C insurance assets:          Alpha below 10 basis points, 0% of
                                             alpha;

     In 2000 and 2001, Allianz will reimburse PIMCO with respect to services
     relating to insurance portfolios of affiliated European entities, after
     taking into account PIMCO's reasonable expenses allocable to these
     services, in an amount calculated to yield profits from these services
     which will result in a $10 million accretion to PIMCO's bonus pool.  An
     annual plan of expense increases related to such services will be agreed
     between the CEO of PIMCO and the CEO of AAM.

V. Allianz Fixed Income Assets (cont'd)

     B.   European Retail Assets

     AAM manages approximately $3.8 billion and $12.1 billion in German and
     other European retail fixed income assets, respectively, as of June 30th.
     Pacific Investment Management will provide model portfolios for these
     retail funds and receive 30% of the management fees on German assets and 5
     bps on other European assets.  Pacific Investment Management will not be
     responsible for distribution or other costs with respect to these assets.
     As new retail fixed income funds are developed, Pacific Investment
     Management would serve as manager or sub-advisor for which it would receive
     arms-length advisory fees.

     C.   European Institutional Assets

     AAM manages approximately $7.4 billion in European institutional fixed
     income assets.  Pacific Investment Management will assume responsibility
     for management of these assets and the related financial result.  Allianz
     will reimburse Pacific Investment Management to the extent contributed
     revenues do not cover contributed costs.

Executive Summary

V.   Allianz Fixed Income Assets (cont'd)


        E.    Westport

        The fixed income management activities of Allianz Fixed Income
        (Westport) would become integrated in the investment process of PIMCO.
        Westport would participate in developing jointly with PIMCO the model
        portfolios used in the management of the assets of the Allianz US
        insurance operations and Westport would maintain client servicing
        responsibilities. Westport would add business development activities in
        order to manage third party insurance and other assets alongside the
        portfolios of affiliated insurance companies. The management of "third
        party" assets would be integrated into PIMCO with the servicing of these
        clients remaining at Westport, as deemed appropriate by the CEO of
        PIMCO. The profit (loss) from the management of Westport's third party
        fixed income assets would be reflected in PIMCO's financial results.

Executive Summary

     F.   Preliminary Financial Analysis

     The following financial analysis is based on financial projections provided
     by AAM and expense projections provided by PIMCO.  For the insurance
     assets, low and high scenarios have been developed to estimate the
     potential range of performance fees.  The retail and institutional revenue
     and fee arrangements are described above.

     AAM has provided a breakdown of the estimated personnel costs and
     associated overhead and allocations.  In addition, PIMCO has developed
     estimates of the incremental costs necessary to manage these assets.  These
     expenses do not include any costs for the PIMCO's existing European
     operations.

     The estimated bonus contribution has been adjusted to reflect the lower
     profit sharing percentages resulting from the bonus equitization plan as
     well as the guaranteed $10 million impact from the insurance assets in 2000
     and 2001.

     relate to the above Plan.

Our evaluation is based on the assumption that:

 .    The primary objectives of the proposed retention incentive arrangements are
     to retain and motivate key executives and investment talent subsequent to
     Allianz's acquisition of PIMCO.

 .    The loss of PIMCO's executives and senior investment talent would have a
     materially adverse impact on PIMCO's business and investment results and,
     in turn, the Firm's total enteprise value.

 .    The retention/incentive arrangements are not intended to act as substitutes
     for ongoing base salary and bonus plans that are unrelated to the proposed
     acquisition.

 .    A five-year retention period is required to integrate PIMCO's business
     practices and processes, and the collective knowledge and expertise of its
     staff into Allianz.

McLagan Partners' Opinion
- -------------------------

We focused on the following in developing our Opinion on the Retention Plan
referred to above:

 .    External market practices associated with acquisition-related retention
     incentive programs within the financial services industry.

 .    Internal historical compensation practices and expected current year pay
     levels for investment talent within PIMCO.

 .    Extensive meetings with James G. Ward, Senior Vice President and Director
     of Human Resources PIMCO Advisors.

 .    Project Apostle Executive Summary dated 27 October 1999.

 .    The Pacific Investment Management Company Non-Qualified Profit Sharing
     Plan.

 .    Form of Employment Contracts for Pacific Investment Management Company
     Managing Directors.

In terms of external market practices, we have observed the following through
our consulting work involving the design and evaluation of acquisition-related
retention plans within the financial services industry.

 .    Retention incentive program coverage is typically limited to officer-level
     staff.

 .    Targeted retention incentive award values are greatest for incumbents
     having the ability to most significantly impact future business and
     investment results.

 .    Awards are often established as a multiple of annual cash compensation
     within a tiered framework linked to organizational level. For example:

     -    For staff below executive management, retention incentive multiples
          often approximate one times annual compensation over a three-year
          period.

     -    For executive management (i.e., Managing Directors and above),
          retention incentive multiples are higher.

     Award multiples for individual participants vary within this framework
     based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, relative
     business impact and tenure.

 .    Retention incentive values and participation rates are generally higher in
     acquisitions driven by strategic business concerns. Correspondingly, such
     values and rates are generally lower when the acquiring firm's objectives
     are strictly focused on near-term financial returns.

 .    The timing of retention incentive payouts generally coincides with the
     anticipated time required to successfully integrate the acquired firm, its
     business practices and investment processes. and its collective knowledge
     and staff expertise

In terms of our understanding of PIMCO's internal pay practices and levels, we
observe that:

 .    PIMCO has covered its senior staff under several highly structured
     incentive arrangements that are directly linked to PIMCO's profits.

 .    Based on past, current, and projected profits. PIMCO's incentive plans have
     generated significant compensation, in aggregate and for selected senior
     executives.

We are of the opinion that the proposed retention incentive arrangements
referenced herein are reasonable in light of competitive market practices and,
moreover, PIMCO's existing pay practices and levels. Further we are of the
opinion that the retention incentive arrangements referenced herein are
suitable to Allianz's presumed objectives of retaining and motivating PIMCO's
officers in the context of the contemplated acquisition by Allianz.

Summary of Proposed PIMCO Transaction Terms



 .    Allianz purchases all outstanding Class A units not owned by Pacific Life
     for $38.75 per unit (the "Unit Price") subject to downward adjustments if
     the PIMCO revenue run rate the month end prior to closing is less than 85%
     of current rate

 .    Pacific Life will exchange all of its Class A units for an equivalent
     amount of Class E units and will have a put/call arrangement in place with
     Allianz with respect to these units

 .    Pacific Life will continue to receive cash distributions (the "Distribution
     per Unit") after closing; currently, this amount is expected to be
     comparable with existing distributions. These will be equal to $1.05 per
     unit plus 20% of Pacific Investment ("PIMCO classic") pre-bonus profits
     excluding the effects of:

     -    Performance fees on the management of Allianz insurance assets

     -    Sub-advisory services sourced through Allianz

     -    The subsidy to the PIMCO bonus pool in 2001 and 2002

 .    Under the terms of the Put/Call Pacific Life has the right to put all
     of its PIMCO units to Allianz anytime at a price equal to Liquidity
     Multiple (14.0) times the Distribution per Unit paid during the four
     preceding calendar quarters excluding Stocks Plus performance fees
     ("Per Unit Purchase Price") plus the aggregate amount of accrued but
     unpaid distributions with respect to the Class E units, subject to a
     maximum put price of $60 per unit

 .    If exercised today, the cash value of Pacific Life's Class E units would be
     the Unit Price payable at closing

 .    Allianz has the right to call all of Pacific Life's PIMCO units:

     -    In case of a change of control of Pacific Life: at the end of the
          ----------------------------------------------
          calendar year during which a change of control transaction is closed,
          at the greater of the Unit Price or the Per Unit Purchase Price

     -    At the end of any calendar quarter after December 31, 2002: at the Per
          ----------------------------------------------------------
          Unit Purchase Price if the Per Unit Purchase Price is greater than
          $50, but not to exceed $60 per unit

 .    Pacific Life no longer will be a general partner but has a continuing
     participation in PIMCO Advisors L.P. to assure continued ability of Pacific
     Life to include PIMCO assets in its promotional and business development
     materials and to assure protection of distributions
<PAGE>

Proposed Transaction Observations


 .    The $38 to $39 per unit transaction price is a 28.6% to 31.9% premium to
     the trading unit price of PIMCO on 7/6/1999, the trading day prior to the
     first rumor regarding the proposed current transaction

 .    Trading values of other publicly traded asset manager master limited
     partnerships have declined on average about 20% since 7/6/1999. Adjusting
     for this decrease, PIMCO's units might be trading as low as $23.50 per unit
     absent market speculation regarding the transaction. Compared to such
     theoretical trading value, the premium to market implied by the $38 to $39
     per unit transaction price is approximately 62% to 66%

 .    The most recent transaction for a money manager with a strong institutional
     presence having aggregate consideration in excess of $500 million was
     announced in March 1999. There have been seven such transactions since June
     1997. All of these deals were completed at times of higher public market
     valuations for asset management companies (approximately 30% higher at time
     of the median deal).

 .    Strengths of PIMCO include:

     --   One of the largest investment management companies in the United
          States with over $256 billion of assets under management managing 53
          stock and bond funds

     --   Leading, fixed-income, institutional franchise with equity and retail
          product capabilities

     --   Strong four year historical compound annual growth rates (1995-1999E):
          Assets under management - 30%, Revenue - 32%, EBITDA - 31% and Pre-tax
          income - 37%

 .    Areas of concern of PIMCO include:

     --   EBITDA margin is below that of the publicly traded asset management
          peer median

     .    Fees are typically lower for fixed-income asset management than equity
          asset management

     .    Compensation as a percentage of revenue and operating expenses as a
          percentage of revenue for PIMCO are higher than most publicly traded
          asset managers

     --   PIMCO's Oppenheimer Capital, primarily an equity manager which is
          estimated to contribute 26% to PIMCO's 1999 total revenue, suffered
          $4.9 billion in net asset outflows in 1998 and $6.5 billion of gross
          asset outflows through the first nine months of 1999 due to weak
          investment performance, helping to contribute to current 1999
          projections below original budget

     --   1999E earnings was revised to $1.50 from $1.70 per unit
<PAGE>

Proposed Transaction Observations

  -- 1999E projected growth in assets under management was revised from 10% to
     6%, and is expected by PIMCO management to be 12% to 15% annually going
     forward, below recent historical growth rates

October 31, 1999


Board of Directors
Pacific Life Insurance Company
700 Newport Center Drive
Newport Beach, California  92660


Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view
to Pacific Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Life"), which shall include, where
appropriate, its affiliates, including without limitation, Pacific Asset
Management LLC, of the Consideration (as defined herein, with such assumptions
reflected in such definition) to be received by Pacific Life pursuant to the
Implementation and Merger Agreement dated as of October 31, 1999 by and among
affiliates of Allianz of America Inc. ("Allianz"), Pacific Life, PIMCO Advisors
L.P. ("PIMCO"), and certain other parties named therein (the "Merger
Agreement"), and the Continuing Investment Agreement by and among Allianz and
Pacific Life (the "Investment Agreement" and, together with the Merger
Agreement, the "Agreements"). As more fully described in the Agreements, (i)
Allianz will acquire all outstanding Class A Units of PIMCO (the "Class A
Units"), other than those held by Pacific Life, for a purchase price of $38.75
in cash (the "Class A Unit Price"), (ii) Pacific Life will exchange all of its
Class A Units for an equivalent number (subject to a reverse split) of Class E
Units of PIMCO (the "Class E Units"), and (iii) Pacific Life will enter into a
put/call arrangement (the "Put/Call Arrangement") with Allianz with respect to
such Class E Units (the "Exchange").

We understand based on discussions with representatives of Pacific Life that, in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, (i) Pacific
Life will relinquish its role as one of two general partners of PIMCO Partners
G.P., an affiliate of PIMCO, and Allianz will become the sole managing member of
the general partner of PIMCO, (ii) after consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements, the public market for the Class A Units will
cease to exist and Pacific Life's liquidity for the Class E Units will be
provided solely by the Put/Call Arrangement as outlined in the Investment
Agreement, and (iii) under the terms of the Put/Call Arrangement, Pacific Life
will immediately have the ability to put the Class E Units to Allianz at the
Class A Unit Price, subject to certain adjustments.

Goldman, Sachs & Co., as part of its investment banking business, is continually
engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with
mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings,
secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements
and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. We are familiar with
Pacific Life having provided certain investment banking services to Pacific Life
from time to time, including having acted as its financial advisor in connection
with its reorganization in September 1997 to a mutual holding structure and
having acted as its financial advisor in connection with, and having
participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Agreements. We have
also provided certain investment banking services to PIMCO from time to time. In
addition, we have provided certain investment banking services to Allianz from
time to time, including having acted as its financial advisor in connection with
the sale of its subsidiary San Francisco Re in November 1996, as its financial
advisor in connection with its acquisition of AGF in May 1998 and as a
co-manager for three of its debt issuances from 1996 to 1998. Also, in September
1999, Paul Achleitner, a Managing Director of Goldman, Sachs & Co., was named
Chief Financial Officer of Allianz AG, an affiliate of Allianz, effective
January 1, 2000. Goldman, Sachs & Co. provides a full range of financial
advisory and securities services and in the course of its normal trading
activities, may from time to time effect transactions and hold securities,
including derivative securities, of Pacific Life, PIMCO and Allianz for its own
account and for the account of customers. In addition, we may provide investment
banking services in the future to PIMCO and Allianz.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the
Agreements; the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of PIMCO
dated June 30, 1999; the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
of PIMCO Advisors Holdings L.P. ("Holdings") dated June 30, 1999; Annual Reports
on Form 10-K of Holdings; Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and certain other
interim reports of Holdings; Annual Reports of Pacific Life for the five years
ended December 31, 1998 and certain other quarterly reports of Pacific Life;
audited GAAP financial statements of Pacific Life, PIMCO and Holdings for the
five years ended December 31, 1998; Statutory Annual Statements filed by Pacific
Life with the Insurance Department of the State of California for the five years
ended December 31, 1998; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for
Pacific Life prepared by the management of Pacific Life; and certain internal
financial analyses and forecasts for PIMCO prepared by the management of PIMCO.
We also have held discussions with members of the senior managements of Pacific
Life, PIMCO and Allianz regarding the Exchange and the other transactions
contemplated by the Agreements, and PIMCO's past and current business
operations, financial condition and future prospects. In addition, we have
reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the Class A Units, compared
certain financial and stock market information for PIMCO with similar
information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly
traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in
the asset management industry specifically and in other industries generally,
and performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.

We have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and
other information reviewed by us and have assumed such accuracy and completeness
for purposes of rendering this opinion. As you are aware, the management of
PIMCO has informed us that PIMCO has not prepared forecasts beyond the current
fiscal year. Accordingly, we note that our review with respect to such forecasts
with your consent was based on estimates for PIMCO published by the
Institutional Brokers Estimate System. In addition, we have not made an
independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of PIMCO or any
of its subsidiaries and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or
appraisal. We have not been requested to evaluate, and we express no opinion as
to, the tax implications to Pacific Life of the Exchange or the transactions
contemplated thereby, including the Put/Call Arrangement. We also have not been
requested to evaluate, and we express no opinion as to, the cash or other
distributions that may be made to Pacific Life as a holder of Class E Units and,
with your consent, have evaluated the consideration to be received by Pacific
Life pursuant to the Exchange and related transactions assuming Pacific Life had
fully exercised on the date hereof its put option with respect to its Class E
Units as contemplated by the Put/Call Arrangement and had received upon such
exercise the Class A Unit Price for all of its Class E Units (such assumed
consideration, the "Consideration"). Our advisory services and the opinion
expressed herein are provided for the information and assistance of the Board of
Directors of Pacific Life in connection with its consideration of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreements and may not be relied upon by any
other party, including, without limitation, the Board of Directors of PIMCO or
holders of securities of PIMCO. In addition, this opinion is not to be used,
circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose, nor is it to
be filed with, included in or referred to in whole or in part in any
registration statement, proxy statement or any other document, except in
accordance with our prior written consent.

Our opinion is necessarily as of the date hereof, and we express no opinion as
to the value of PIMCO in the future, the actual value of the Class E Units when
issued to Pacific Life pursuant to the Exchange or the price at which such Class
E Units may be sold or otherwise transferred in the future pursuant to the
Put/Call Arrangement or otherwise.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon such other matters as we
consider relevant, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof the
Consideration (as defined herein, with such assumptions reflected in such
definition) to be received by Pacific Life pursuant to the Agreements is fair
from a financial point of view to Pacific Life.

Very truly yours,


/s/ Goldman, Sachs & Co.
