New 80% quota share agreement with NewRe and Hannover Re
Saga plc ("Saga" or "the Group"), the UK's specialist in
products and services for life after 50, announces that it has
entered into a new quota share arrangement with NewRe and Hannover
Re to cover 80% of the underwriting risk of motor policies of the
Group's in-house underwriter, AICL, to take effect from 1 February
2019.
The new quota share agreement adds Hannover Re to our current
reinsurance partner NewRe, and replaces our existing quota share
arrangement which is due to expire on 31 January 2019. The new
agreement provides three years of cover on a rolling basis.
The increase of our quota share arrangement from 75% to 80%
share is in line with the Group's overall strategy and further
reduces our exposure to underwriting risk. This will continue to
support the withdrawal of capital from the underwriter.
Trading continues to be in line with the guidance given in
December 2017 and Saga will announce its preliminary results on 12
April 2018.
Lance Batchelor, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"The new quota share arrangement and the addition of Hannover Re
as a partner provides further evidence of the stability and high
quality of our underwriting business.
The increase to 80% in the reinsured share of our in-house
underwriter's motor policy risk continues to reduce Saga's exposure
to underwriting risk which allows the Group to maintain its
efficient capital structure."
