downgraded from "A" or "Exceptional," to "M" or "Moderate." The FSR of the
Company's insurance subsidiaries
The downgrade may, among other things, cause an inability for UPC to obtain
reinsurance coverage. It may also cause UPC's products to be unacceptable to
mortgage lenders and prevent agents from selling and servicing UPC products. The
Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") require that property insurance policies
for properties with a mortgage backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac must be
written by a property insurance carrier meeting certain financial rating
requirements, and a FSR of "M" or "Moderate" does not qualify. However, Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac each provide an exception to the financial rating
requirements if an insurer is covered by a reinsurer who assumes by endorsement
100% of the insurer's liability for any covered loss payable but unpaid by the
insurer for reason of insolvency.
As a result of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac financial rating requirements and the
FSR downgrades, on
