AM Best Withdraws Credit Rating of Mainsail Insurance Company

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has withdrawn the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings of “a-” (Excellent) of Mainsail Insurance Company (Mainsail), a 100% reinsured subsidiary of Spinnaker Insurance Company (Spinnaker). At the time of the withdrawal, the outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) was stable. Both companies are headquartered in Bedminster, NJ.

The withdrawal of the ratings previously assigned to Mainsail Insurance Company reflects the close of the transaction in which Spinnaker sold Mainsail to an unrelated third party.

AM Best’s procedure is for a final rating opinion to be produced in conjunction with a rating withdrawal. However, a final rating opinion could not be produced for Mainsail due to the lack of sufficient forward-looking financial information needed to complete the rating.
