Amlin has named the price it will pay to buy out Names on its Syndicate 2001.
The biggest independent Lloyd's operator also increased its estimate of its WTC losses by £4.7m before tax, but said it planned to resume paying dividends, scrapped because of the 11 September losses.
Amlin is enticing Names to give up their 28% of the syndicate's capacity with a combination of cash and shares.
Buying up all the remaining capacity will cost Amlin between £44.3m and £48.8m depending on Names' choices of cash or shares.
The choice is between 0.2558 new shares valued at about 22p each for each
£1 of capacity. This comes with the right to participate on Syndicate 2001 for the 2003 year of account with the equivalent of a premium income limit of 50p. The other choice is 20p in cash and the same right to participate. There is also a combination of both.
Amlin said the offer had been accepted by Names representing 38% of the capacity not already owned by the group.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
