A.M. Best Withdraws Credit Ratings of AF&L, Inc.’s Subsidiaries

OLDWICK, N.J.--()--A.M. Best has withdrawn the Financial Strength Rating of D (Poor) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “c” of the subsidiaries of AF&L, Inc.: AF&L Insurance Company and Senior American Insurance Company (collectively referred to as AF&L Group) (Warminster, PA). The Credit Ratings (ratings) withdrawal reflects the fact that the timing and amount of information being provided to A.M. Best is insufficient to support an ongoing credit opinion of the company consistent with A.M. Best’s rating criteria.

While A.M. Best’s policy dictates that a final rating update be done in conjunction with a rating withdrawal, a final rating update was unable to be completed due to the absence of sufficient financial and other information necessary to support the formation of a current credit opinion.

This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on A.M. Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see A.M.
