HAMILTON, BERMUDA--(Marketwire - July 15, 2009) - Annuity and Life Re (Holdings), Ltd. (
The amalgamation agreement will now be proposed for approval by the Company's shareholders. A proxy and accompanying proxy statement will be mailed out in the near future pursuant to which shareholders will be invited to vote on the proposed amalgamation. If approved, each outstanding common share of the Company would be replaced by a cash payment of the amalgamation consideration. The amalgamation consideration will be subject to adjustment based on the actual shareholders' equity at closing. As such, the amalgamation consideration per common share of the Company cannot be precisely determined at this time, although, based on recent financial results, it is estimated to be in the range of $0.43 to $0.44 per share.
Further details will be provided in the proxy and accompanying proxy statement which will be mailed to all shareholders.
