Gable Holdings Inc.
Update on potential related party transaction
Further to its announcement of 25 May 2016, Gable Holdings Inc. ("Gable" or the "Company") announces that, following further consideration, William Dewsall notified the Company that it would be inappropriate for Hogarth Underwriting Agencies Limited, as a regulated entity authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, to provide the £10 million guarantee that the Board of Gable intends should form part of Gable's regulatory capital.
Accordingly, the Board of Gable notes that William Dewsall intends to use a separate private vehicle wholly owned by him to provide the guarantee to Gable Insurance AG, Gable's regulated insurance subsidiary ("GIAG"). The guarantee is intended to form part of Gable's regulatory capital and would be available to GIAG at any time but should only be called by GIAG in the event it experiences a significant and unexpected decline in its current financial position.
At this stage, the Company is still working to finalise the structure and terms of the guarantee and the agreement remains subject inter alia to the formal approval of the FMA in Liechtenstein and, as a related party transaction, the recommendation of the independent directors that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
