A.M. Best Affirms Ratings of Titan Insurance Company Inc., A RRG CONTACTS:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OLDWICK, N.J., July 6, 2010—A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating of A- (Excellent) and issuer credit rating of “a-” of Titan Insurance Company Inc., A RRG (Titan) (Charleston, SC). The outlook for both ratings is stable. The ratings reflect Titan’s solid capitalization, historically profitable operating results and defined mission of providing claims made based contractual liability insurance coverage to Ethos Group, Inc. (Ethos) and its subsidiaries. Partially offsetting these positive rating factors is
Titan’s exposure to risk concentration since Ethos is Titan’s
exclusive source of business. A.M. Best remains the leading rating agency of captive insurers rating a wide variety of more than 200 captives in the United States and throughout the world.
