A.M. Best Comments on Credit Ratings of National General Holdings Corp. and Its Subsidiaries

A.M. Best has commented that the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb-” of National General Holdings Corp. (National General) (New York, NY) (NASDAQ:NGHC) and all other Credit Ratings (ratings) assigned to National General subsidiaries and securities issued by National General are unchanged at this time following the disclosure of a delay of up to fifteen days in the filing of the company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2016 (10-K).

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the filing of a Form 12b-25 by National General gives the company an additional 15-day period in which to submit a Form 10-K and still be deemed a timely filer. A.M. Best will continue to monitor the situation and will consider further action should results reported in the 10-K differ materially from the financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2016 released on Feb. 27, 2017, or should the filing be delayed further. A.M. Best also will review management’s action plan for ensuring the timeliness of future filings as part of its review and assessment of National General’s enterprise risk management framework and process.
