Heritage Announces Agreement with AIG Private Client Group and Safeco

CLEARWATER, Fla., June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRTG) ("Heritage" or the "Company"), a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with member companies of American International Group, Inc. ("AIG") and Safeco Insurance, a Liberty Mutual Company, to offer AIG's Private Client Group (PCG) agents the ability to transition their upper middle market personal insurance business to Safeco and Heritage.  As part of AIG PCG's decision to focus its personal lines business on the high net worth segment, Heritage will offer policy renewals to a select portion of AIG PCG's personal lines business that provides upper middle market clients with homeowners coverage. 

Key points:

• Heritage and Safeco will work together to seamlessly transition AIG customers at renewal.
• More than 90% of Heritage's portion of this transition is represented by policies outside Florida, benefiting portfolio diversification.
• Renewals will be offered in sixteen of Heritage's seventeen licensed states, with the majority in the northeast.

• The first renewals will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2020 and will continue over the subsequent twelve-month period.
• Heritage will offer appointments to the AIG distribution partners with impacted policies, expanding its current distribution force.
• Heritage will handle all quoting and policy issuance for policies transitioning to Heritage.

Bruce Lucas, Heritage's Chairman and CEO, said, "We're excited to partner with Safeco on this opportunity and look forward to developing relationships with new agents and providing a seamless transition for policyholders. Most of the premium is located outside Florida, furthering our multi-state growth initiatives and providing reinsurance synergies."
