OIC and London & Overseas Schemes Advancing

The Scheme Administrators recently gave notice that the proportion of Qualifying ILU Guarantee Policyholders who opted out has been confirmed to be less than 30% and therefore the schemes will continue. Had the 30% threshold been exceeded, the schemes would have terminated and OIC and London & Overseas's businesses would have reverted back to run-off. Final distributions for agreed claims are now estimated to be paid out on or around September 2019.

The Schemes were previously approved by creditors at the meetings on December 11, 2014, sanctioned by the High Court of Justice in the UK on October 29, 2015, and became effective on January 14, 2016. Orion and L&O have been in run-off since 1994, and the original schemes of arrangement became effective in 1997. The final bar was September 12, 2016.

For more information on the opt-out provisions of the schemes, please see our Risky Business blog. For additional information relating to the Companies, including the scheme documents and notices, please see their website.
