Enterprise Holdings Limited / Key word(s): Strategic Company Decision 25.07.2016 18:44 Disclosure of an inside information according to Article 17 MAR, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enterprise Holdings will expand operations of existing Managing General Agent (MGA) to reduce capital requirement and increase margins Petitioning to wind up its insurance company Enterprise Insurance Company PLC The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (the Commission) has intervened in the operations of Enterprise Insurance Company PLC (EIC or Company), a 100% owned subsidiary of Enterprise Holdings Limited. EIC has been under close supervision from the Commission and recently the Company provided the Commission with the indicative outcome of the requested independent review which showed a severe deterioration in the Company's position. EIC therefore has requested that the Commission takes steps to control the activities of the Company including issuing winding-up proceedings. Andrew Flowers, Chief Executive Officer of the Enterprise Holdings Limited, comments: "Winding up the existing business of Enterprise Insurance Company PLC is the best solution available to us to protect our policyholders. We plan to begin discussions with the insurance market to determine how we might amend the remit of the already established Managing General Agent (MGA) owned by the Group, Andeva Underwriting Agency Limited (Andeva), to secure capacity from an alternative re-insurer. This would allow the expansion of Andeva's offering to a broader range of products which in turn should generate premium volumes to similar levels historically enjoyed by EIC but without any cost of capital and a significantly reduced overhead. The Group continues its plans to diversify into the leisure sector. The first gastronomy venue, The Oxford Blue, is entering the final stages of refurbishment and is planned to open during September 2016. This will be followed by the launch of a second early in November, both of which are expected to make significant contributions to the Group profits in their first year of trading."
