TORONTO, October 14, 2020 – Intact Financial Corporation (TSX: IFC) officially brings together its Canadian and U.S. specialty capabilities under a single brand: Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions. Unifying its specialty operations under one brand represents the full integration of this growing segment of Intact’s portfolio and its commitment to being a leader in the specialty lines marketplace.

“Our commitment to building a world class specialty insurance provider takes an important step forward today as we bring the Intact brand to the U.S.,” said Charles Brindamour, Chief Executive Officer, Intact Financial Corporation. “We see strong future growth potential in our specialty lines business given our team’s expertise and our robust solutions for Canadian, cross-border and U.S. customers and brokers.”

The U.S. businesses had previously operated under the OneBeacon Insurance Group and The Guarantee Company of North America brands in the U.S., following the 2017 and 2019 acquisitions of these specialty companies, respectively.

“This is an exciting day for us in the U.S. and our teams in Canada, as we officially move forward as Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions,” added Mike Miller, President, U.S. Operations and Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions. “The entire North American specialty team looks forward to continuing to provide our customers and brokers with our hallmark specialized products and services, backed by the strength of the Intact brand.”

The combined Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions brand features over 20 specialty focus areas, including nine that serve both Canadian and U.S. customers. It is a market-leading provider of certain lines of business, including being the sixth largest provider of surety bonds in North America.

Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions’ underwriting companies offer a broad range of specialty insurance products through independent agencies, regional and national brokers, wholesalers and managing general agencies throughout North America. Each business is managed by an experienced team of specialty insurance professionals focused on a specific customer group or industry segment, and providing distinct products and tailored coverages and services.

This material is intended as a general description of certain types of insurance coverages and services. Coverages and availability vary by state; exclusions and deductibles may apply. Please refer to your insurance policy or consult with your independent insurance advisor for information about coverages, terms and conditions. Some coverage may be written by a surplus lines insurer through a licensed surplus lines broker. Surplus lines insurers do not generally participate in state guaranty funds and insureds are therefore not protected by such funds.
