Assurant, Inc. ("Assurant" or the "Company") announced today that it expects to record between $134 million - $140 million pre-tax of reportable catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, and reinstatement premiums in its Global Housing reportable segment related to Hurricane Harvey for third quarter 2017. The estimated range includes $127 million in expected claims as well as $7 million - $13 million in anticipated reinstatement premiums to restore the first two layers of the Company&#x2019;s catastrophe reinsurance program. This event was a combination of wind and flood losses primarily in the state of Texas. The Company's reportable catastrophe losses include individual catastrophic events that generate losses in excess of $5 million, pre-tax and net of reinsurance.<br><br>Hurricane Irma first made landfall on September 6, 2017, in the Caribbean and then on September 10, 2017 in Florida. The Company expects gross losses will exceed its retention of $125 million pre-tax, but will remain within its comprehensive reinsurance program.<br>  <br>In addition to its $1.155 billion U.S. reinsurance program, Assurant participates in the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, which provides protection for gross losses up to 90 percent of $324 million in excess of a $100 million retention. Assurant also has reinsurance programs for the Caribbean and Latin America. They cover losses up to $152.5 million in excess of $17.5 million retention in the Caribbean and up to $183.5 million in excess of $4.5 million retention in Latin America. The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund and the Caribbean reinsurance program are both structured so that any net losses in these areas will contribute to the $125 million U.S. program retention.<br> <br>The Company&#x2019;s U.S. reinsurance coverage tower includes a cascading feature so that higher coverage layers drop down as the lower layers and reinstatement limit are exhausted in the event of a third storm.<br><br>Assurant has approximately $625 million of holding company capital as of June 30, 2017.

("Assurant" or the "Company") announced today that it expects to record between $134 million - $140 million pre-tax of reportable catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, and reinstatement premiums in its Global Housing reportable segment related to Hurricane Harvey for third quarter 2017. The estimated range includes $127 million in expected claims as well as $7 million - $13 million in anticipated reinstatement premiums to restore the first two layers of the Company's catastrophe reinsurance program. This event was a combination of wind and flood losses primarily in the state of Texas. The Company's reportable catastrophe losses include individual catastrophic events that generate losses in excess of $5 million, pre-tax and net of reinsurance.
Hurricane Irma first made landfall on September 6, 2017, in the Caribbean and then on September 10, 2017 in Florida. The Company expects gross losses will exceed its retention of $125 million pre-tax, but will remain within its comprehensive reinsurance program.
In addition to its $1.155 billion U.S. reinsurance program, Assurant participates in the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, which provides protection for gross losses up to 90 percent of $324 million in excess of a $100 million retention. Assurant also has reinsurance programs for the Caribbean and Latin America.

The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund and the Caribbean reinsurance program are both structured so that any net losses in these areas will contribute to the $125 million U.S. program retention.
The Company's U.S. reinsurance coverage tower includes a cascading feature so that higher coverage layers drop down as the lower layers and reinstatement limit are exhausted in the event of a third storm.
Assurant has approximately $625 million of holding company capital as of June 30, 2017. The Company also maintains strong surplus levels within its insurance companies.
The Company issued a related news release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Additional details on Assurant's 2017 catastrophe reinsurance program can be found in the news release issued on July 10, 2017 and in the Newsroom section of assurant.com.
