Item
8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
On
October 8, 2009, Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (Maiden) and AmTrust Financial Services,
Inc. (AmTrust) announced that, by mutual agreement, neither Maiden nor AmTrust
had elected to send notice to the other by September 30, 2009 of its intent to
terminate the existing 40% quota share reinsurance agreement effective as of
July 1, 2007 between Maiden Insurance Company, Ltd. and AmTrust International
Insurance, Ltd. As a result, the agreement will remain in effect through
June 30, 2013.
This Current Report on Form 8-K
contains "forward-looking statements" which are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations and
beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the
Company. There can be no assurance that actual developments will be those
anticipated by the Company. Actual results may differ materially from those
projected as a result of significant risks and uncertainties, including
non-receipt of the expected payments, changes in interest rates, effect of the
performance of financial markets on investment income and fair values of
investments, developments of claims and the effect on loss reserves, accuracy in
projecting loss reserves, ability to renew the GMAC RE business, the impact of
competition and pricing environments, changes in the demand for the Company's
products, the effect of general economic conditions, adverse state and federal
legislation, regulations and regulatory investigations into industry practices,
developments relating to existing agreements, heightened competition, changes in
pricing environments, and changes in asset valuations. Additional information
about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected is contained in Item 1A. Risk
Factors in the Company's Annual Statement on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.
