On October 19, 2015, HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“HCC”) informed the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that HCC and Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. (“Tokio Marine”) have received all regulatory approvals for Tokio Marine’s previously announced acquisition of HCC (the “Merger”), and that the closing of the Merger is anticipated to occur on October 27, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of all necessary conditions to closing.  HCC also informed the NYSE of HCC’s intent to notify the NYSE after the effective time of the Merger that the Merger had been completed and to request that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an application on Form 25 to report the delisting of HCC’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), from the NYSE and to deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  HCC intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate or suspend its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Shares at the time such filing is permitted under SEC rules.
