East Lansing, Mich.-based insurer announced that it is continuing with its plan to exit the workers’ compensation business, but has determined that nonrenewing its policies is the most effective way to exit the market.
As a result, APCapital has ceased discussions to sell its workers’ compensation policy renewals under the terms of a previously announced non-binding letter of intent. The company is in the process of fulfilling its notification requirements to policyholders so that it may begin non-renewing workers’ compensation policies which expire beginning in February 2004, and it plans to cease writing any new workers’ compensation business after June 30, 2004.
APCapital remains in discussions with interested parties on a loss portfolio transfer for its existing workers’ compensation loss reserves, as previously announced. The reserves for workers’ compensation totaled $68.3 million, $62.4 million net of reinsurance as of Sept. 30, 2003.
For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2003, workers’ compensation direct premiums written totaled $32.9 million, or 16.3 percent of APCapital’s total premiums written. APCapital wrote workers’ compensation in 12 states in 2003, with Minnesota and Michigan producing over 60 percent of the direct premiums written.
