LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of The Boeing Company (“Boeing” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BA) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Following the October 2018 crash of a Boeing 737 Max 8 airplane operated by Lion Air, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled ''Boeing Withheld Information on 737 Model, According to Safety Experts and Others,” which alleged that the Company ''withheld information about potential hazards associated with a new flight-control feature suspected of playing a role in last month's fatal Lion Air jet crash.” Over the next 11 days, Boeing’s stock fell by 12.5%. A second 737 Max 8 crash involving an Ethiopian Airlines plane on March 10, 2019, results in further significant drops in the stock. On March 13, 2019, the FAA ordered all Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9 planes to be grounded in the United States, and the planes were grounded by authorities in many other countries as well.

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of “a+” (Excellent) of Symetra Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, First Symetra National Life Insurance Company of New York (New York, NY), together referred to as Symetra Life Group. Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of “bbb+” (Good) of Symetra Life Group’s parent, Symetra Financial Corporation. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. All companies are headquartered in Bellevue, WA, unless otherwise specified.

The ratings reflect Symetra Life Group’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).

AM Best views Symetra Life Group’s risk-adjusted capitalization as very strong, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), with financial support afforded by the ultimate parent, Sumitomo Life Insurance Company. The ultimate parent continues to support the group’s strategic initiatives with capital when needed. This was evident in the successful acquisition of Dearborn Group’s life and disability business through a reinsurance transaction. Symetra Life Group has shown continued growth in premiums over the years in its life and retirement businesses, and with the recent acquisition, its workforce benefits division will accelerate in growth.

Offsetting these strengths is Symetra Life Group’s strong top-line growth, which can put a strain on capital and surplus, as well as the group’s increasing reliance on affiliated offshore reinsurance that may need additional support if growth continues at this pace.

AM Best views Symetra Life Group’s ERM as being matched to the scope of its operation, while adjusting to changing market conditions. Continued product innovation and its favorable business profile continue to be a positive factor in its overall ratings.

This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page.
