OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has withdrawn the Financial Strength Rating of C- (Weak) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “ccc-” (Weak) of 777 Re. Ltd. (Hamilton, Bermuda). At the time of the withdrawal, these Credit Ratings (ratings) were under review with negative implications.

AM Best’s policy is for a final rating opinion to be completed in conjunction with a rating withdrawal. However, due to the absence of any insurance liabilities by the Bermuda reinsurer and the company’s forthcoming plans to cease insurance activity, a final rating update was not able to be completed.
