SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF THE
ACQUISITION OF FORTIS CORPORATE INSURANCE N.V.
The resolution proposed at Amlin's shareholder General Meeting held earlier today (the "Resolution") to approve the acquisition of Fortis Corporate Insurance N.V. ("FCI") was duly approved by shareholders as an Ordinary Resolution. Proxies were received in respect of a total of 384,320,880 Amlin shares, representing 77.8% of Amlin's shares in issue.
The result of the proxy voting on the Resolution was 383,923,765 shares voted in favour (including 475,921 shares over which the Chairman had discretion) to 120,230 shares voted against, with the votes of 272,347 shares withheld.
As previously indicated, it is expected that, following the receipt of regulatory consent, the acquisition of FCI by the Amlin group will be completed later this month.
