Abstract: PARIS (Standard&Poor's) June 3, 2009--Standard&Poor's Rating Services said today that it affirmed its 'A-' counterparty credit and financial strength ratings on Netherlands-based commercial lines insurer Fortis Corporate Insurance N.V. (FCI). The outlook remains negative. The affirmation follows today's announcement that U.K.-based property casualty insurer and reinsurer Amlin PLC (BBB+/Stable/--) intends to acquire FCI. Completion of the transaction, which is expected before the end of July 2009, remains subject to the requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals. "The affirmation of the ratings on FCI reflects our view that its acquisition by Amlin, if successful, would remove the uncertainty surrounding FCI's long-term ownership and strategy, and would reinforce FCI's competitive position," said Standard&Poor's credit analyst Marie-Aude Salinas.
