Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On June 14, 2016, The Phoenix Companies, Inc., (“Phoenix”)
informed the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that Phoenix and Nassau Reinsurance Group Holdings, L.P. (“Nassau
Re”) have received regulatory approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services for Nassau Re’s previously
announced acquisition of Phoenix (the “Merger”). Together with the regulatory approval previously received from the
Connecticut Insurance Department, Nassau Re now has the required regulatory approvals to close the Merger. The closing of the
Merger is anticipated to occur on or about June 20, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of all customary closing
conditions. Phoenix also informed the NYSE of Phoenix’s intent to notify the NYSE after the effective time of the Merger
that the Merger had been completed and to request that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
applications on Form 25 to report the delisting of Phoenix’s common stock (the “Shares”) from the NYSE and to
deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Phoenix intends to file with the SEC an application on Form 25 to report the delisting of its 7.45% Quarterly Interest Bonds due
2032 (the “Bonds”) from the NYSE and to deregister the Bonds under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Phoenix intends
to file Form 15s with the SEC to terminate or suspend its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act with respect to the Shares and the Bonds at the time such filing is permitted under SEC rules.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 14, 2016, Phoenix issued a news release announcing
that Nassau had received the required regulatory approvals for the Merger and that the closing of the Merger and delisting
of its common stock is anticipated to occur on or about June 20, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of all customary
closing conditions. The news release also announced Phoenix's intention to delist its Bonds and they will begin trading
in the over the counter (“OTC”) market on June 27, 2016. A copy of that news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
