"We are pleased to have successfully agreed the transfer into Alma of Fennia's share of TGI Anstalt underwriting pool and to have provided a complete exit for Fennia, subject to customary approvals. This is another example that demonstrates that the Group can provide a variety of solutions for companies wishing to dispose of their legacy run-off business and we look forward to further similar opportunities across Europe".
