Credit General Insurance, Indemnity Enter Cut-Through Arrangement With AmTrust Financial

September 22, 2000

For Credit General, the arrangement provides access to additional surplus upon which to write new business, as well as the security of AmTrust’s surplus. Credit General has resumed writing new business, which it stopped doing in mid-September to prevent exceeding writings-to-surplus requirements.

“This arrangement provides access to $20 million of surplus that supplements the ability of Credit General to assure that it exceeds statutory surplus requirements for writing new business,” said Bryan Griffin, president of PRS Group, Credit General’s parent. “We are delighted to be associated with a strong company like AmTrust.”
