Enterprise Insurance Company PLC
The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (the Commission) has
today intervened in the operations of Enterprise Insurance Company PLC
(Enterprise or the Company).
On 22nd July 2016 the Commission has, under section 105 of the
Financial Services (Insurance Companies) Act, directed Enterprise to
cease effecting any new contracts of insurance.
The Commission has also issued certain directions under Section 100
of the Financial Services (Insurance Companies) Act prohibiting
Enterprise from making any payments unless previously authorised by the
Commission, in order to protect the assets of the Company.
The Commission is now taking steps to issue winding up proceedings
with the cooperation of Enterprise to petition for the winding up of the
Company. It is the intention to issue an application for the
appointment of a provisional liquidator.
The Commission is taking this action as Enterprise has told the
Commission the Company is insolvent and has not been able to secure
additional funding.
The Commission is taking appropriate steps to protect
policyholders. The Commission is notifying the European Insurance and
Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the relevant financial
services regulators and compensation schemes in France, Greece, Italy,
Norway, Ireland and the UK, where Enterprise has written business.
Enterprise has been under close supervision from the Commission due
to concerns about its financial position. In recent months the
Commission has been seeking assurances from Enterprise about its
financial position. The Commission has required Enterprise to provide
independent verification of important items. Enterprise has been working
with its independent advisers to provide the relevant information to
the Commission.
Recently Enterprise provided the Commission with the indicative
outcome of the independent review. The impact of the independent review
is a severe deterioration in the Company’s position and Enterprise is
insolvent. The shareholders of the Company have been unable to
contribute additional capital into the company, and in the interests of
policyholder protection the Company has requested that the Commission
takes steps to control the activities of the Company including issuing
winding-up proceedings.
Samantha Barrass, GFSC CEO, says: “We have been working closely
with Enterprise since the beginning of the year. We have been working
with the Company using the new powers available to the Commission under
Solvency II to ensure the Commission has the right information to
support our supervision. The situation demonstrates the importance of
receiving independent verifiable information. This has enabled us to act
promptly avoiding unnecessary harm to policyholders.”
Peter Taylor, Director of Legal, Enforcement and Policy, says: “The
Commission initiated action against Enterprise at the beginning of
July. The Company has endeavoured to find a way out of its predicament
but has not been able to do so. Once we had seen the outcome of the
independent review of Enterprise’s position Enterprise advised the
Commission it was insolvent. We have moved very quickly to ensure that
we take all reasonable steps to safeguard the position of existing
policy holders. This is an inevitable but unfortunate outcome for all
concerned.”
