6 Moving Options 1.Form new Bermuda company and place SUMIT Hawaii in run-off 2.Transfer insurance and reinsurance contracts to new Bermuda company and portfolio transfer of liabilities and subsequent dissolution/liquidation of SUMIT Hawaii 3.Continuance/Discontinuance process

Cayman lawyers refuse to so opine. Bermuda’s reputation: robust and experienced regulatory regime Experienced and quality service providers
