recognize that meaningful support both for insurance company ERM
initiatives and ORSA compliance can only come from professionals who

including risk management, underwriting, claims, human resources,
operations, technology, actuarial, and finance," said John J. Kelly,
CPCU, HSP Managing Partner. "Hanover Stone Solutions brings a team of 25
former insurance executives and regulators who can hit the ground
running on any assignment and deliver value to enhance insurance company
ERM initiatives and support efforts to satisfy emerging regulatory
requirements."</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In
2012, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)
officially rolled out a set of analytic and reporting standards for U.S.
insurance companies known as the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment
(ORSA). U.S. insurance companies need to comply with ORSA requirements
beginning this year. At this point, 24 states have adopted ORSA or are
in the process of doing so. Generally, well-constructed ERM
initiatives can satisfy many of the requirements under ORSA; as a
result, increasing numbers of insurance companies are actively involved
in ERM programs or are planning such initiatives. <img align="right" alt="HSS ERM Approach" border="0" src="http://files.ctctcdn.com/02f23cd4201/842d4a0a-ea2f-4667-bb2e-b8b20f257670.png" height="278" hspace="25" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.246" vspace="25" width="276" /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"What
we're finding is many insurers are viewing their ERM initiative solely
as a compliance exercise and our team can help make sure their
activities are structured to satisfy requirements under ORSA," Mr.
Morris noted. "In addition, we can help insurers involved in the ERM
process make adjustments needed not only for compliance, but to generate
significant strategic value for the enterprise."</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With
several former state insurance regulators on the Hanover Stone
Solutions team, Mr. Morris added that the company also is planning a
number of seminars for state insurance commissioners and their
organizations to help them understand various aspects of ORSA and
develop a framework for its implementation on a state-wide basis.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Along
with former state insurance regulators and insurance company executives
in such roles as CEO, chief risk officer, claims, underwriting, human
resources, actuarial, IT and finance, Hanover Stone Solutions draws on
the expertise of several external resources, including leading
actuarial, cyber, accounting, and law firms specializing in the
insurance sector.</span></span></span><br />
