Cardrow Insurance Limited

Further to the announcement of 7 March 2016, Charles Taylor is pleased to announce that the transfer of the insurance business of its subsidiary Cardrow Insurance Limited to Tenecom Limited, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has become effective.

The transfer completes Charles Taylor's stated business strategy to reduce its exposure associated with the ownership of non-life insurance companies in run-off.

David Marock, Group Chief Executive Officer, Charles Taylor said:

"The transfer of the insurance business of Cardrow completes the process to remove the group's exposure to its non-life run-off insurance companies. The remaining steps associated with dissolving Cardrow and Beech Hill are expected to be completed by early H2 2016. This is in line with our stated business strategy."

"We will continue to focus our strategy on acquiring life insurance companies in run-off, which offer attractive opportunities and generate cash releases for the Group. In fact, over the last four years we have made four successful life insurance company acquisitions."

"Charles Taylor is still one hundred per cent committed to providing run-off management services to both insurers and reinsurers. We have been active in the sector for many years and offer highly-rated claims management services, complemented by our run-off management, commutation analysis and negotiation services."
