Pursuant to applicable rules and regulations, in order for the SCOR Group to become the sole shareholder of SCOR Holding (Switzerland) Ltd., the SCOR Group will seek a court-ordered cancellation of the shares of the remaining shareholders of SCOR Holding (Switzerland) Ltd. for a consideration consisting of the same combination of cash and shares as offered in the public tender offer of the SCOR Group published on April 5, 2007, as amended on June 12, 2007.

 

In the context of such cancellation action, it is intended for SCOR Holding (Switzerland) Ltd. to apply for the delisting of its shares from the SWX Swiss Exchange and of its American Depositary Shares from the New York Stock Exchange as well as the deregistration of its securities and termination of its reporting requirements under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

As a result of the acquisition of SCOR Holding (Switzerland) Ltd. (formerly Converium Holding Ltd.) by the SCOR Group, SCOR Holding (Switzerland) Ltd. will discontinue publishing quarterly financial information with immediate effect.
