The Reserve Bank of New Zealand filed a fifth affidavit in the High Court to support the liquidation of CBL Insurance Limited and oppose the removal of interim liquidators. The document details repeated breaches by CBLI management, including the failure to disclose new reinsurance business with United Specialty and the execution of payments exceeding NZD5 million without required regulatory consultation. It further challenges the validity of the Castlerock transaction and highlights concerns regarding undisclosed liabilities and the company's overall failure to operate in a prudent manner.

I, TOBY JONATHAN TWISLETON-WYKEHAM-FIENNES (Toby Fiennes), of Wellington, banker, swear:
board of directors that it considered that CBLI's business was not being carried on in a prudent manner. 5. I also attach: (a) a copy of CBLI's licence, issued by the Bank on 4 September 2013 subject to the conditions imposed by the Bank (pages 1-5). (b) extracts from the Companies Office in respect of CBLI (pages 6-12), and LBC Holdings New Zealand Ltd (in voluntary administration) (pages 13-14); (c) extracts from the financial statements for CBLI for 2014 and 2016 showing dividends paid (pages 15-21); (d) a copy of an article which appeared in the New Zealand Herald online edition on Saturday, 21 July 2018 by Brian Gaynor entitled "Why shareholders are right to be upsef' (pages 22-28) (e) A copy of the press release published on the NZX website on 13 July 2018 announcing the resignation of three of the directors of CBLI, Sir John Wells, Paul Donaldson and Ian Marsh (page 29). United Specialty 6. In my first affidavit of 23 February 2018, I set out a series of payments to United Specialty that were among those that the Bank considered were made by CBLI in breach of directions from the Bank. Mr Harris' affidavit of 24 May 2018 acknowledges that the payments were made, but justifies the payments being made because "there were important commercial reasons for the payments" and Mr Harris considers "that it was in the interests of CBLI to make them." 7. In July 2017 and January 2018 the Bank required CBLI to disclose a range of information to it about business ceded to it and by which insurers. In neither of CBLI's responses to those required disclosures did CBLI disclose that it had ceded business under four different reinsurance contracts with United Specialty. CBLI also appears deliberately to have split a single payment to United Specialty into three separate payments in an unsuccessful attempt to circumvent a direction from the Bank restricting payments over NZD5 million.

or series of related transactions involving payment or transfer of assets in excess of NZD5 million (attached at TJF1/35, EB1/69). 16. 17. 18. 19. In a letter addressed to me on 5 December 2017 Peter Harris contested the directions issued on 25 July 2017 and 22 November 2017, and complained that the directions did not state the grounds on which they were issued, as required by section 147(1) of IPSA. Mr Harris requested that the Reserve Bank provide a statement of the grounds (pages 37-38). Rupert Barber (CBLI's nominated supervisor within the Bank) replied on my behalf on 7 December 2017, stating that the grounds for each of the directions were explained in detail in the covering letters accompanying each direction and signed by a Deputy Governor. The covering letters were attached to his email. Mr Barber also highlighted the Bank’s concerns expressed in the 22 November 2017 letter regarding the Castlerock transaction, the quality of the documentation of the transaction, and the rapid business expansion of CBLI (page 39). On 8 December 2017 Peter Harris asked Rupert Barber in an email to clarify that the direction did not apply to insurance “business as usual” transactions including payments of claims or premium bordereaux in the ordinary course of business (page 40). Rupert Barber replied on 11 December 2017 that the direction “does not cover payments CBL is obliged to make under existing contracts that were entered into prior to the date of the direction. It will apply to all new transactions, prior to them being entered that are over the value threshold... We do not expect this to have much impact on the “ordinary course of business". If we find that is the case we can review the direction, but in the meantime we expect to be consulted as outlined." (page 41). Mr Barber’s comments did not amend the direction, as directions can only be amended by a Deputy Governor or the Governor. His comments were explanatory and were made in reliance on CBLI’s response to the 26 July 2017 notice being compliant in all respects. On 25 January 2018, the Bank issued a section 121 notice requiring CBLI to supply to the Bank information in respect of the insurance and insurancerelated business of CBLI, and information in respect of the reinsurance business of CBLI separately for each ceding insurer and in total (including country of domicile) (pages 42-44). The purpose was to receive updated and more detailed information. Michael Parrott responded on 16 February 16. 17. 18. 19. rsk BF\58225539\13
2018, confirming that since the 26 July 2017 notice there had been no new countries of business and no new ceding insurers (pages 45-49). Again, he did not disclose that United Specialty was a ceding insurer of CBLI. 20. On 29 January 2018, the Bank via notice modified the 22 November 2017 direction to define “Consult” as “providing the Reserve Bank with sufficient information for the Reserve Bank to form an informed view on the proposed transaction, receiving feedback from the Reserve Bank, and having regard to that feedback before entering the transaction". (TJF1/40-45, EB1/74-79) 21. At 8:56pm on Sunday 11 February 2018 Michael Parrot informed Rupert Barber in an email that CBLI had agreed to reduce its reinsurance exposure to the Alpha Insurance A/S (Alpha) book by making a €25 million payment to Alpha, in consideration of receiving a credit reduction of €27 million of current and future claims on this business. He stated that this was due to the Danish regulator threatening to force Alpha to close its business if it could not significantly reduce its reinsurance exposure to CBLI. The payment was expected to go through later that night. While he suggested that the payment did not come under the existing directions “being the payment of BAU claims", he noted CBLI would like to inform the Bank of the payment and discuss it further (pages 50-51). Following a phone call from Rupert Barber, Michael Parrot confirmed in an email on 12 February 2018 to Rupert Barber that CBLI had “effectively put the payment on-hold (by unapproving the transfer)". 22. The Bank did not consider the payment to be “BAU”, because it was to be made under a new agreement entered by CBLI and Alpha only on 9 February 2018 and was in the nature of a prepayment of insurance liabilities. 23. On 12 February 2018 the Bank issued a direction under section 143 of IPSA to CBLI not to make payment to Alpha or any related company as proposed by Michael Parrott in his email to the Bank of 8:56pm, Sunday 11 February 2018 (TJF1/62-66, EB1/96-100). On 15 February 2018 Peter Harris by letter (attached to an email from Michael Parrott at 4:56pm) requested the Bank’s permission to make the payment to Alpha (TFJ1/67- 68, EB1/101). I denied this request by email at 5:03pm Friday 16 February 2018 to Peter Harris (TJF1/71, EB1/105). While the Reserve Bank preferred to wait for the investigation findings of McGrathNicol and Finity and Milliman (the draft report from whom was imminent), and confirmation ftff BR58225539M 3
of CBLI’s solvency, we did not want to approve a prepayment of liabilities if it eventuated, on the basis of the investigation, that CBLI was insolvent. My affidavit of 23 February 2018 explains this in some detail at paragraphs 22-22. 24. On Wednesday 21 February 2018 Robert Cole and Rupert Barber received an email from Lisa O’Mahony at the Central Bank of Ireland. Ms O’Mahony asked if the Bank directions to CBLI were still in place, whether there had been any requests for approval for any large transactions recently, and whether any such transactions were approved by the Bank. This led us to suspect that CBLI may have made a large payment without consulting the Bank. That same day the Bank issued a notice under section 121 of IPSA requiring CBLI to supply the Bank particular information in respect of any payment or transfer of assets made on or after 1 February 2018 for NZD1 million or above by either CBLI or CBL Corporation Limited or any of its subsidiaries. The reporting was due at noon on 21 February 2018, with subsequent reporting in respect of any payments or transfers within scope of the notice that have not previously been reported to the Reserve Bank, or written confirmation of no such payments, due at 5pm on each weekday. 25. In its response dated 21 February 2018, CBLI reported payments of (among other payments): (a) NZD4,197,400; (b) NZD4,508,857; and (c) NZD4,508,857, to United Specialty on 14 and 15 February 2018 (TJF1/73, EB1/107). 26. The reasons given for these payments were that collateral was due for Texcaz business in accordance with the reinsurance contract; Texcaz collateral uplift for AM Best downgrade in accordance with the reinsurance contract; and Texcaz collateral uplift for equity decline over 10% in accordance with the reinsurance contract, respectively. 27. On 23 February 2018 Robert Cole and Rupert Barber of the Bank rang Michael Parrott to discuss United Specialty, among other issues. A file note of the matters discussed during the call was made by Mr Barber (pages 52- 53). Mr Parrott was asked if United Specialty was a new cedant that had tf BR58225539M 3
not been on previous lists of cedants provided by CBLI, including on 16 February 2018. 29. 30. 31. Mr Parrott confirmed that United Specialty was a new cedant, representing new business in 2017. He stated that previous information was from 31 December 2016. This latter statement overlooked that information on all cedants had been required by the s121 Notice dated 25 January 2018. Mr Parrott also specifically asserted that the three payments made earlier in the month were three distinct payments. On 26 April 2018 the Bank received copies of the United Specialty reinsurance documentation (with Texcaz involved as the agent for United Specialty), from the interim liquidators of CBLI. The initial reinsurance agreement with United Specialty had been signed on 2 February 2017, with an effective date of 1 November 2016. Further agreements altering the level of CBLI’s reinsurance obligations were signed 8 December 2017 and 5 January 2018, effective at 1 December 2017 and 1 January 2018 respectively. An addendum was signed 14 May 2017, effective 1 November 2016, and an amendment signed 25 October 2017, effective 1 November 2016. The Bank considers that these payments to United Speciality were made in breach of the 22 November 2017 direction (modified 29 January 2018), as the payments are all related to the Texcaz collateral and collectively are over NZD5 million, although structured as a series of related payments. CBLI did not inform the Bank that it was entering these transactions, nor did it consult with the Bank. On 7 May 2018, the Bank received internal CBLI emails regarding the United Specialty payments from the interim liquidator. The Collateral Request Summary regarding Texcaz (dated 9 February 2018 and attached to Carl Griffith’s email to Peter Harris, Sir John Wells and Michael Parrott at 9:51 am 23 February 2018), requested the lump sum of USD9,760,055 as the “Total Collateral Required as of 2/9/2018” (pages 54-57). An email chain between Henry Ray and Aylene Sy, among others on 14 February 2018 initially requested that the payment to United Specialty be made in a lump sum of USD9,760,055 (pages 58-60). At 12:02 pm that day Mr Ray requested a change to the payment, splitting it into USDS,100,000 for “Collateral Amount Past Due”, “USDS,330,027 for “A.M. Best Rating Downgrade” (both to be paid on 14 February 2018) and 29. 30. 31. -Kf BR58225539M 3
USDS,330,027 for “Surplus/Equity Decline exceeding 10%” (to be paid on 15 February 2018). These documents support the Bank’s conclusion that the payments were related. 33. These were not “business as usual” payments because “business as usual” transactions involved cedants the Bank had been made aware of, being those cedants identified in response to the section 121 notice of 26 July 2017 34. It was apparent from the 21 February schedule of payments that CBLI had breached the 26 July 2017 and 25 January 2018 section 121 notices by failing to supply to the Bank the required information in respect of United Specialty as a ceding insurer, for which CBLI was a reinsurer as at 2 August 2017. Another undisclosed liability 35. Included in the recent material supplied by CBLI under a s121 notice, was a 100% reinsurance policy effective January 2018 for Great Eastern General Insurance for cover of USD7.5 million. Great Eastern General Insurance was not listed in the 2 August 2017 information on CBLI’s reinsurance, and Michael Parrott’s 16 February 2018 response to section 121 notice stated there were no new ceding insurers. Therefore it appears this policy was a breach of the 25 July 2017 directions requiring prior written permission from the Bank for new or increased financial support of any insurers not already owned by CBL group (referred to above in relation to United Specialty). Castlerock transaction 36. In Mr Harris' fourth affidavit he discussed the Castlerock transaction. I make the following further comments in reply to his evidence. (a) In paragraph 63 he states that “Bancorp had a relationship with Castlerock Receivables Management Ltd’. This is incorrect. Castlerock is part of the wider Bancorp group, but at the time of the proposal to CBLI Castlerock Receivables Management Ltd had not yet been incorporated. (b) Paragraph 64 states “These net premium receivables of €43m owing to CBLI were more than 12 months old and CBLI had written them off for regulatory solvency capital purposes, as required under IPSA.” It was indeed the case that the June 2017 solvency calculations had a 100% BR58225539M3
(d) (e) (f) (g) (h) BR58225539M3 risk charge but only in respect of $36m of premium. However, the July 2017 to November 2017 solvency calculations used a 40% risk charge for this (i.e. not written off for solvency purposes) on the basis of the terms sheet for the back-dated agreement with Castlerock. Paragraph 64 also states “The benefit to CBLI was that it obtained certainty of collection over the €43m, removing the credit risk of these net premiums, because Castlerock had agreed to take on the credit risk in the receivables.” Para 66 acknowledges that Castlerock was set up as a SPV for the transaction. Logically it follows that CBLI was still exposed to credit risk through the SPV. If the SPV had failed to collect the premiums in turn it would not have been able to pay CBLI. Paragraphs 67 and 68 refer to discussions with the auditors for year end reporting over the treatment of Castlerock, “... would not result in the accounting outcome that had been envisaged”. This is despite CBLI management having booked that treatment for accounting and solvency purposes from July 2017. Paragraph 70 (b) states “The receivables did not affect CBLTs solvency. They had been written off for solvency purposes as I have addressed above.” See my comments above at (b). Paragraph 70 (c) states “The transaction did not involve a discount to face value of the receivables as I have again addressed above." The terms sheet gave Castlerock rights over the gross amounts including all commissions and fees to SFS (and appeared to include Elite’s share also). The payment by Castlerock was set at the face value in CBLI’s accounts, which is net of commissions & fees and net of Elite’s share, i.e. considerably less. Furthermore, Castlerock only needed to make payments over a period of years. Paragraph 70 (d) states “The transaction was in the best interests of CBLI because the credit risk of €43m of overdue receivables was transferred to Castlerock." See my comments above in (c). Paragraph 70 (d) states ‘We had input from our actuaries regarding the transaction." The s121 notice dated 31 October 2017 required copies of all board papers, and minutes of discussions, relating to Castlerock and premium debt. There was no material, or reference to any material, from the appointed actuary, auditor’s actuary, or any other (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) BR58225539M3
actuary, in the response received 8 November 2017, apart from an item in a presentation to the board labelled “accounting and actuarial risks", which says “Castlerock is happy to work with CBL to assist in ensuring the sale is treated appropriately". The appointed actuary advised the Bank on both 12 October 2017 and 6 December 2017 that he had had no involvement (calculation or review) of the July to November 2017 solvency calculations that incorporated the Castlerock transaction. (i) Paragraph 70 (f) states “Mr Fiennes seeks to suggest that CBLI’s solvency calculations reflected the transaction even though it had not become effective. That is incorrect. The transaction had been implemented and become effective prior to being cancelled.” CBL’s solvency calculations were adjusted for Castlerock from July 2017 to November 2017. The terms sheet was signed in October 2017, and is an agreement to enter an agreement. We asked for the actual agreement (18 October 2017, 19 January 2018, 31 January 2018 & 7 February 2018). Only on 7 February 2018 did CBLI advise the Bank that the Castlerock transaction had been cancelled. Prior to this, for each enquiry by the Bank CBLI had responded along the lines that the actual agreement was not finalised, it was still being worked on, or it was not yet signed. I have since seen a draft agreement that recorded the transaction in much greater detail than the terms sheet (pages GIBS). I refer also to an email exchange between Mr Harris and Sir John Wells dated 2 February 2018 in relation to cancellation of the transaction (pages 84-85) (j) On 8 November 2017 in its s121 response, CBLI informed the Bank that some of the premium debt was caused by SFS not passing premiums on. Since SFS is acting as agent for the insurers, it would be usual for CBLI and ceding insurers to remain on risk for any policies for which the premium had been paid to SFS. El Toro gold mine - CDC surety bonds and shareholding 37. I refer to my fourth affidavit in which I referred to information obtained about the relationship between CBLI and CDC, the owner of the El Toro gold mine and to Mr Honey's draft affidavit. I have recently been provided with a selection of emails and documents obtained by the Reserve Bank from the interim liquidators. These appear in an affidavit of Morgan Evans affirmed 16 October 2018 that I have read. BF\58225539\13
This further material reinforces the concerns I expressed in my fourth affidavit and the need for investigations of the possible civil and criminal consequences of the transactions and the shareholding that CBLI took in CDC. Independence of administrators of LBC Holdings Ltd (LBC) - standing
The Bank's concern with the potential lack of independence and standing of the administrators of LBC is not a personal criticism of the current administrators of LBC. Rather, it appears that CBLI has possible claims against LBC, as shareholder, (and the CBLI board members at the relevant times) for distributions totalling $25.5 million that LBC received when CBLI was balance sheet insolvent. LBC became the shareholder of CBLI in December 2013 (pages 86-89).
One basis for CBLI being balance sheet insolvent as far back as late 2013 is found in a retrospective solvency assessment exercise that Finity has carried out on the Bank's instructions. A copy of Finity's report is attached to Mr Atkin's second affidavit dated 17 October 2018, a copy of which I have seen. A conclusion of that exercise is that CBLI was borderline balance sheet insolvent on the basis of PWC's actuarial valuation from at least 2013 through to the latest valuations at the end of 2017, consistently balance sheet solvent on the basis of Finity's valuation, and consistently IPSA insolvent on either valuation. Voluntary administration and the DOCA
The Bank's reasons for preferring liquidation, and rejecting the current DOCA are summarised in correspondence from the Bank’s solicitors on 1 October 2018 (pages 90-92). The background to this correspondence is set out below. It followed a period of engagement with Brendan Gibson and Neale Jackson that commenced with a meeting in Wellington on 30 August 2018, when for the first time the Bank was presented with the details of a draft DOCA.
Following that meeting on 30 August I wrote to Messrs Gibson and Jackson by email on 31 August 2018 to ensure they understood what it would take to convince the Bank that the DOCA was a better alternative to liquidation and that the Bank felt there was a long way to go in this regard. On 3 September Buddie Findlay asked Korda Mentha on our behalf that the DOCA be finalised by 14 September 2018. BR58225539M 3
By then it had become apparent that the DOCA depended on negotiations with the major ceding creditors, including Elite, which were not welladvanced, were not subject to time frames and had an uncertain (indeed implausible) prospect of success in the terms Korda Mentha was promoting.
Members of the Bank's Insurance Oversight group have had discussions with the insurance regulators in Gibraltar, Ireland and Denmark, who have regulatory oversight of CBLI's three largest cedants; Elite, CBLIE and Alpha. Neither the Gibraltar nor Irish regulator is supportive of the proposed DOCA that has been suggested by Korda Mentha with Messrs Harris and Hutchison. The Danish regulator had previously noted that the liquidator of Alpha was opposed to it. A file note summarising those discussions appears at (pages 93-96).
As well as the implausibility of the DOCA the evidence outlined in this affidavit reinforces the Bank’s view of the public interest reasons in favour of the liquidation of CBLI. In that regard, the role that both Korda Mentha and Mr Harris expect Mr Harris and his key staff to play under the draft DOCA is of concern to the Bank. This is because of Mr Harris' management of CBLI until February 2018. Blackrock Trust/Aviron Capital bond
One of the Bank's additional concerns with a voluntary administration and DOCA arises in the context of information provided to the Bank by the interim liquidators.
The Bank has recently been made aware by the interim liquidators of the details of a financial surety (insolvency shortfall) agreement that CBLI entered into on 17 July 2017. The existence of this bond, and others the Bank has also recently been made aware of, adds to the Bank's concerns about whether CBLI was carrying on business in a prudent manner.
Pursuant to the 17 July 2017 agreement CBLI has guaranteed to the beneficiary, Blackrock Multi-Sector Income Trust (Blackrock), the obligations of Aviron Capital, LLC (Aviron) in the aggregate of USD63 million plus any outstanding interest obligations arising in note purchase agreements between Blackrock and Aviron (pages 97-110 extract only). The liability of CBLI expires on the later of either 31 December 2022 and one year and a day following full payment of amounts due by Aviron, notification by Blackrock that the agreement is no longer required, or full BR58225539\13 Page 13
payment by CBLI. The agreement does not appear to be terminable by CBLI other than for non-payment of premiums. On current exchange rates, the full liability under the guarantee would be in excess of NZD97 million. 49. The Bank has concerns about CBLI's decision to enter into this bond. The bond was written a month after a prudential consultation meeting in which the Bank expressed concerns about CBLI's rapid expansion and reserving strategy. It was written 8 days before the Bank formally wrote to CBLI to state that it had reasonable grounds to conclude that CBLI may not be carrying on business in a prudent manner. The Bank's concerns include: (a) First, CBLI was aware of concerns about the strength of its covenant as reinsurer to Elite. (b) Secondly, this guarantee has no reinsurance cover, according to the draft 2017 Financial Condition Report. I have not attached this document due to its size but the Bank can provide a copy to other parties on request. The only recourse that CBLI has is to Aviron, whose default would trigger CBLI's liability to Blackrock. (Pages 114-116) (c) Third, there is no security in favour of CBLI to support Aviron's liability under the indemnity to CBLI. (d) Fourth, the amount of the bond is larger than CBLI's solvency margin of NZD72 million as at 31 December 2016, which was the latest margin reported to the Bank at the date that the bond was issued. Therefore the limit of cover for this policy was high relative to CBL’s capital at the time the policy was issued. An early claim at the limit of the cover would, by itself, have caused a breach of CBLI's solvency requirements. (e) Finally, it is a significant, single exposure when considered alongside CBLI's reported capital of $156 million, as at 31 December 2016. 50. On the face of it, the Aviron large bond raises questions of whether CBLI was acting prudently or recklessly. Other bonds written by CBLI for which there was inadequate disclosure 51. Two further bonds are of concern to the Bank. One was written in May 2013 and the other January 2014; providing 10-year building defect insurance for apartment complexes in Aarhus, Denmark (pages 117-124). BR58225539M 3 Page 14
CBLI’s share is recorded as NZD66m for the first and NZD34m for the second. One reason for the Bank's concern is that, as at 31 December 2012, CBLI had reported net assets of $39 million. Therefore the limit of cover for both policies was high relative to CBLI’s capital at the time the policies were issued. Under the relevant solvency standard Minimum Solvency Capital is the sum of a range of different charges including the Catastrophe Risk Capital Charge. As explained in the standard: "The Catastrophe Risk Capital Charge for non-life insurers is intended to protect the licensed insurer’s solvency position from the potential exposure of the licensed insurer to Extreme Events." There are different ways of calculating this charge. Between 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2016 CBLI elected to calculate the charge using the formula of twice maximum net retentions on its single biggest risk. Net retention is the limit of cover less the portion covered by reinsurance. As at 30 June 2013 CBLI reported a solvency margin of $15 million, which incorporated a catastrophe risk charge of $4.7 million. This calculation did not allow for the two AM Trust bonds. On the basis that neither has any reinsurance, then the catastrophe risk charge should have been $132 million and the solvency margin was therefore overstated by $127 million. Correcting for this, the solvency margin at 30 June 2013 would have been negative $112 million. The adverse solvency impact on the catastrophe risk charge exceeds CBLI’s reported solvency margin for all of the period from 30 June 2013 to 31 December 2016, when CBLI changed the method of calculating catastrophe risk charge, CBLI should have recorded a negative solvency margin throughout this period. There may be further impacts through other aspects of solvency calculations. I also note that: (a) The first of these bonds was written before CBLI was issued its full insurance licence; (b) Solvency reporting between 2013 and 2016 of CBLI’s maximum net retention was considerably lower than these amounts; and 53. 54. BF\58225539\13 "■••''wiw
(c) The Appointed Actuary’s Financial Condition Reports prior to 31 December 2017 had no mention of any financial commitments of such a size. Commitments of these amounts would be expected to be mentioned under the relevant actuarial professional standard. In the Bank's view these two bonds should have resulted in a large negative solvency margin (estimated at 30 June 2013 as negative $112 million, as noted) due to an error in the catastrophe risk charge. This applies through until (at least) 2016. The cover for the 2 large AM Trust bonds was a high proportion of capital at the time so a maximum claim on either or both could, by itself, have resulted in low or negative capital. The second AM Trust bond was also inaccurately recorded in CBLI's bond register as carrying a liability to CBLI of NZD4.789 million, rather than NZD34 million. This is a material discrepancy. On the face of it, the two AM Trust large bonds raise questions of whether CBLI was acting prudently or recklessly. In addition, the failure to take those risks into account in calculating the catastrophe risk charge meant that CBLI's solvency capital was materially overstated from 2013 to 2016. Had CBLI's pre-licence reporting been correct then it would either have required considerably more capital before being given a licence or would have been refused a licence. Had the liability been accurately taken into account for the catastrophe risk charge after the licence was issued then it would either have required considerably more capital, or to have obtained reinsurance for these policies, or would have been forced into run-off. The examples of high value bonds referred to above all have cover extending through to late 2022 or longer, and therefore there remains a risk to CBLI incurring very large claims for several years to come. The Bank is concerned about how these bonds, or others like them, would be dealt with in the context of a voluntary administration and DOCA that involves a plan to pay all creditors in full other than the three major cedants. The contingent claim outcomes in respect of large bond exposures appears to be a substantial risk to the resolution of CBLI. To date, it appears they have not been considered by Mr Harris, Mr Hutchison or KordaMentha. 56. 57. 58. 59. Page 16wr1 BR58225539\13
Summary of potential impacts on CBLI of retrospective assessment of liabilities and risks 61. With more information emerging there are now multiple factors that when viewed in isolation would lead to a hindsight view that CBLI has had negative net assets and/or negative solvency margins at various times in the past. While not all impacts are cumulative, most are, and so the combined effect could be very large. (a) Under-reserving (prior to licensing onwards). Finity’s analysis of PwC’s reserve strengthening to 31 December 2017 (exhibit GA2 to Geoff Atkins second affidavit affirmed 17 October 2018) shows that in hindsight, net assets were negative for much of the period 2013 onwards. This would be much worse on Finity valuation figures. Regulatory solvency impact is even larger than net asset impact due to insurance risk charges. (b) Samoa deposit (October 2014 onwards). The solvency treatment for asset risk charges on the deposit reduces solvency margin by about $20 million. Correcting for this alone gives a negative solvency margin for December 2014, June 2015, and December 2015. There may be additional negative solvency impacts under other aspects of the requirements. (c) AM Trust bonds (May 2013 onwards). The solvency treatment for catastrophe risk charge on the bonds reduces solvency margin by at least $100 million before December 2016, and an unknown amount thereafter. Correcting for this alone gives a negative solvency margin for all reported dates before December 2016. There may be additional negative solvency impacts under other aspects of the requirements. (d) Aviron bond (July 2017 onwards). The solvency treatment for this has not been determined. There is currently a nil allowance. There is potential for the impact of a corrected solvency treatment to exceed the reported solvency margin. 62. In addition there are other known material adverse impacts to net asset and solvency positions. For example: (a) The SFS premium debt written off at 31 December 2017 (following cancellation of the Castlerock transaction) included material amounts from about 2013 onwards. Some of this premium debt should have BF\58225539\13 Page 1 7
been impaired much earlier, which would have reduced net assets. Had the premiums been correctly aged the reported solvency margins between 2013 and 2016 would have been lower. E.g. the estimated net asset and solvency impacts at December 2016 is an overstatement of at least $30 million, with smaller amounts at older dates. 63. We continue frequently to learn new information that paints CBLI’s position in a worse light, and therefore cannot be confident that all the material issues have been identified. Claims will develop over time and may materially change CBLI’s position (for better or worse). Conclusion 64. Messrs Harris and Hutchison together with Korda Mentha propose a DOCA as the alternative to a liquidation. They have not provided to the Bank or other stakeholders any information on the counterfactual position of claims that could be brought against them and others in a liquidation. Based upon the evidence set out above and the separate work that Finity has undertaken in relation to balance sheet insolvency it seems clear that CBLI has operated while balance sheet insolvent and in breach of IPSA solvency requirements since 2013. 65. As regulator, the Bank considers it highly material to the future of CBLI that there are various claims that could be made in the name of CBLI and its liquidators to recover compensation for the benefit of creditors and possibly the shareholder. On the basis that the company operated whilst balance sheet insolvent, transactions may be set aside, distributions recovered and action taken against the directors and professional advisers of CBLI. These matters require careful and thorough investigation, which would best be conducted by liquidators.

23 COMMENT: Shareholders are entitled to be annoyed when they suffer large losses in a company while major shareholders in the same company seem to do particularly well. This has been the situation at Veritas, where Michael Morton is a 35.5 per cent shareholder, and at CBL Corporation, where Peter Harris owns 22.8 per cent of the company. yo AIR NEWZEALAND \5T The Morton story begins when Sir Peter Leitch establishes his first butcher shop in Mangere in 1971 under the name Rosella Meats. The shop v^/as subsequently renamed the Mad Butcher. iOVT.ftl f$E MicNT Immerse yourself m Asia! Hy to Hong Kong return from $1159*pp Sate ends30 Jut 18 'TtCs apply Sale ends 30Jut 18 ■Wsi-ttiSr' vi-fihH/m. The brand expanded through Auckland's lower socio-economic areas in the 1980s and 1990s, with the first franchise model in 1998. Moiton, the partner of Sir Peter's daughter Julie, acquired 15 per cent of Mad Butcher Holdings in 2001. He purchased a further 15 percent in 2003 and acquired full ownership from Sir Peter in 2007. Morton's purchase price hasn't been disclosed. In May 2013, the NZX-listed company Veritas investments purchased the Mad Butcher from Morton for $40 million. This comprised $20m cash and $20m worth ofVeritas shares. The share component consisted of 15,384,615 new Veritas shares at $1.30 each, giving Morton a 40.2 per cent stake in the listed compa ny.
24 The Mad Butcher had 36 stores throughout New Zealand at the time, 34 ofwhich were independently owned franchises with the remaining two owned by Mad Butcher Holdings. Mad Butcher Holdings had total assets ofjust$1.9m, total liabilities of $2.6m and negative net assets of $0,7m as at the company's previous balance date. The Grant Samuel IndependentAppraisal Report included Mad Butcher EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) forecasts for the June 2013 and June 2014 years of $6.3m and $6.8m respectively.

The company's EBITDA was $6,4m for the 2015 year, $4.6m for 2016 and $3.7m for 2017. Meanwhile, Morton, who continued to run the Mad Butcher and was appointed to the Veritas board, received remuneration of $180,000 in the years to 2013 and 2014, $271,961 for the following two years and $420,277 in the 2017 year. At the end of the June 2017 year, the Mad Butcher had 31 stores — 28 franchised and three company owned. Five of the 28 franchised stores were owned by Morton.
Early this year, Veritas shareholders approved the sale of the Mad Butcher back to Morton forjust $8m. The SimmonsAppraisal Report revealed that the Mad Butcher had 30 stores, fourofwhich were company owned, while five of the 26 franchisees were owned by Morton. Simmons also disclosed that the Mad Butcher had a forecast EBITDA of only $2.4m forthe June 2018 year. Veritas chairman Tim Cook wrote: 'The proposed sale of the Mad Butcher franchisor business is the result of a competitive sales process undertaken by Bancorp. Bancorp attracted interest from a number of parties for the Mad Butcher business, and all appropriate steps were taken to exclude Mr Morton from discussions concerning the sale once he declared his interest in acquiring the Mad Butcher. "The independent directors agree with Simmons' opinion that the consideration and the terms and conditions of the Mad Butcher sale are fair to the shareholders. The purchase price offered by Mr Morton was the highest offer received for the business, and Mr Morton's role as the CEO of Mad Butcher has meant that minimal warranties were required to be given for the business under the sale and purchase agreement." Thus, Morton sold the Mad Butcher for $40m and bought it back for $8m, although the $20m worth of shares he received five years ago are now worth only $2.4m. Morton looks like an astute businessman, but this columnist's view is that he was extremely lucky. He sold to Veritas when the investment company was desperate to acquire assets and bought back when Veritas was sinking in a sea of debt and needed to raise funds. Veritas shareholders are furious because Morton was the Mad Butcher's CEO when its value plunged from $40m to $8m while Veritas' share price nosedived from $1.30 tojust 15.5c over the same period.
26 Peter Harris and several other investors gained control of CBL Insurance in 1996. In September 2015, CBL issued a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for its initial public offeringof ordinary shares. Unfortunately, these PDSs have far less financial information than prospectuses used to have. Peter Harris realised $16.3m selling CBL shares in 2017, on top of an earlier sale. Photo / Dean Purcell Just before the IPO, CBL had a six-for-one share split with 26 million existing shares converting into 156 million shares. It appears from the financial accounts that the average cost of these shares, post the six-for-one split, was 11.5c. Prior to the IPO, Peter Harris had 66.8 million shares, or 42.8 per cent of the company, at an estimated total cost of $7.7m.
27 As part of the IPO, Harris sold 7.9 million shares for $12.3m at the IPO price of $1.55 a share. This left him with 58.85 million shares, or 26.8 per cent of the company. Harris and the original major shareholders had an embargo from selling any further shares until Februaiy 2017, when CBL would announce its result for the December 2016 year. On February 24,2017, CBL announced a pre-tax profit of $76.2m for the December 2016 year, well ahead of the $63.6m CBL had forecast before its October 2015 listing. Chairman Sir John Wells wrote in the annual report, which was released on March 31, 2017, that CBL had "a commitment to the highest level of corporate governance", with the report also boldly announcing that the company had exceeded its regulatory and solvency requirements. Five days later CBL revealed — under the eye-catching headline "CBL announces selldown to increase share market liquidity" — that directors and management had sold 20 million shares at $3.26 each shortly following the end of the embargo period. Harris sold just over 5 million shares to reduce his shareholding from 25.0 percent to 22.8 per cent. He realised $16.3m from this sale plus $12.3m from the IPO. This gave him a total realisation of $28.6m compared with an estimated cost of $7.7m for his total shareholding. Harris was totally entitled to sell these shares. At the May 3 annual meeting, Wells told shareholders he expected to see the company continuing to build momentum across the business. He said he expected this momentum to translate into further profitable growth and add to overall shareholder value. Wells also successfully asked shareholders to approve an increase in directors' fees from $750,000 plus €30,000, to $1,500,000 because "being on the board of CBL requires a significant commitment and an understanding of the many jurisdictions in which the company operates".
28 On August 18, the company issued a profit downgrade for the six months to June 2017 and six days later, on August 24, it released full financial results for this period. The latter announcement was relatively upbeat with the company announcing "CBl expects to be highly cash flow positive in 2H17 and current liquidity levels are expected to continue to rise". The Reseive Bank subsequently revealed that on July 27,2017, it had told CBL Insurance it needed to raise its solvency ratio to 170 per cent. A High Court affidavit by the Reserve Bank's head of supervision revealed: "The bank's own internal review concluded in August 2017... that CBL Insurance had significantly underreserved its French business to such an extent that its adjusted capital forsolvency purposes (i.e. excluding inadmissible components) was most likely to be less than zero, and that there was a material likelihood that the wider CBL group had insufficient resources to meet the shortfall. There was also uncertaintyabout the CBL group's ability to raise sufficient further capital". CBL shares last traded on February 2 this year, leaving shareholders with a very uncertain future. But this columnist is clear about one thing: neither Michael Morton nor Peter Harris should ever win the Shareholders' Association Beacon Award for corporate gover nance excellence.
Statement-Sir John Wells Friday 13July2018 29 Sir John Wells resigns as CBL Director and Chair I am today announcing my decision to step down as Director and Chair of both CBL Corporation Limited ("CBLC") (in Voluntary Administration) and CBL Insurance Limited ("CBLI") (in Interim Liquidation). Two other overseas-based Independent Non-Executive Directors ("INEDs") Paul Donaldson and Ian Marsh are also resigning. In the lead up to the intended announcement of CBLC's Annual Result on the 27th of February the Directors were conscious of the requirement for additional capital which had been set in train. Regrettably, this was abruptly halted by events on the 23rd of February when the Reserve Bank of New Zealand applied to the Court to liquidate CBLI, and voluntary administrators of the CBL Group were appointed. In the months following these appointments the INEDs have endeavoured to support the process to preserve value in the CBL Group whilst at all times recognising the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. However, the role as an INED in these circumstances has been largely confined to assisting the interim liquidator and voluntary administrator, as and when requested. As Chair I particularly regret we have been unable to communicate directly with shareholders and other parties as I would have wished, given the nature of the administration and interim liquidation processes. We now feel we can simply do no more for shareholders and with little power or authority, our resignation is the appropriate option in these circumstances, and provides clarity and certainty over our position. We are aware that the Deputy Chairman and Managing Director of CBL have been working to develop and present a plan as an alternative to the liquidation process. They have consistently stated their wish is to ensure the best possible outcome for policyholders, creditors and shareholders. We support this objective and wish them well in this endeavour. ENDS Sir John Wells, 13 July 2018

We are in the course of preparing for the meeting and look forward to this opportunity to engage with you face to face. In order to have a productive conversation, it is important that we understand in some detail what the Reserve Bank wishes to discuss. To that end, CBL would be grateful to receive: (a) an agenda for our meeting, and (b) a list of questions the Reserve Bank would like us to respond to in our meeting. In that context, we note our concerns regarding the following directions issued by the Reserve Bank to date: (a) direction given under section 143 of the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 (the Act) to CBL dated 25 July; (b) direction given under section 143 of the Act to CBL dated 22 November; and (c) direction given under section 145 of the Act to CBL Corporation Limited dated 22 November. None of these directions state the grounds on which they are given, as is required by section 147(1) of the Act. We would be grateful if the Reserve Bank would, as a matter of urgency, provide to CBL a statement of those grounds, including: (a) the factual basis upon which each of the above directions were issued, and (b) an explanation as to why the Reserve Bank considers these factual circumstances provide a reasonable basis for believing that one or more of the grounds in sections 143(1) and 145 of the Act apply. • SYDNEY • LONDON • COPENHAGEN • DUBLIN • MEXICO CITY CBL INSURANCE LIMiTED______________ p: *64 9 303 4770 f: ■i-S-l 9 300 5046 Level S, CBL House, 51 Shortland Street PO Box 3772, Auckland 1010, New Zealand wvAv.cbllnsurance.com

Toby has asked me to respond on his behalf. The grounds for each of the directions you have been issued were stated in detail in the covering letters that accompanied each direction. I have attached those letters for your information. In addition, you will be aware that we have provided further information to you that reinforce those grounds. For instance we drew to your attention certain concerns with the Castlerock transaction, including the quality of the documentation, and recently provided you figures (derived from CBL Insurance Ltd itself) highlighting the rapid business expansion of CBL Insurance Limited. These both support the Bank’s belief, outlined formally each time a direction was issued, that CBL Insurance is not carrying on its business in a prudent manner. In the case of CBL Corporation the Bank believes it is conducting its affairs in a manner that is prejudicial to the circumstances of the CBL insurance. Please ensure the directors of CBL Insurance Limited are provided this material prior to our meeting. 1 am just putting together an agenda and confirming attendees which I will send through shortly. We do not have any specific questions prepared for the Board.

41 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Rupert Barber Monday, 11 December 2017 2:23 PM Peter Harris Peter Brady; Robert Cole; Fazeena Hussain RE: Insurance BAD Hi Peter, As promised, a response to your email on Friday. As outlined to you in the letter you received from Mr Bascand dated 22 November 2017 providing grounds for the direction to CBL insurance of the same date, the Bank is concerned with the nature of the Castlerock transaction and how it was documented, and the fact that CBL did not consult the Bank before committing to it, despite the ostensible motivation being to meet the Bank’s direction to maintain solvency at 170%. You indicated CBL would be looking at restructuring options and a "balance sheet reinsurance protection proposal for CBL" in order to respond to a directive from the Central Bank of Ireland. We do not want to see anything occurring similar to how you went about the Castlerock transaction, hence the direction. The effect of the direction is that it requires CBL Insurance before any transaction is entered into that has a value of NZD Smillion or more to consult with the Bank about CBL’s circumstances and about the transaction or any other actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve its difficulties. This does not cover payments CBL is obliged to make under existing contracts that were entered into prior to the date of the direction. It will apply to all new transactions, prior to them being entered that are over the value threshold. The Bank wants to view those transactions in light of CBL’s circumstances and be consulted before CBL becomes committed. We do not expect this to have much impact on the “ordinary course of business”. If we find that is the case we can review the direction, but in the meantime we expect to be consulted as outlined.

42 RESERVE BANK OF NEW ZEALAND TB P OT EA M AT UA 25 January 2018 Mr Peter A Harris Managing Director CBL Insurance Limited PO Box 3772 Auckland 1010 Dear Mr Harris CBL Insurance Limited Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 The investigation into CBL Insurance Limited is drawing near to the reporting phase. As the home supervisor of CBL Insurance Limited, the Reserve Bank has obligations to other relevant host supervisors under agreements through the International Association of Insurance Supervisors. One of these is to keep host supervisors informed of material developments. In light of this obligation, the Reserve Bank wishes to identify all of the relevant host supervisors and the size and nature of CBL’s business in their countries whether directly or through reinsurance. The information requested is similar to the section 121 notice (on reinsurance business) dated 26 July 2017, but is also to cover insurance business, and to update the data previously provided. The due date is 16 February 2018 which hopefully is late enough for 2017 financial yearend figures to be used whilst still being sufficiently timely for the Reserve Bank. If 2017 financial year-end figures are not available, then the latest available information can be provided and the Reserve Bank may require a subsequent update using 2017 financial year-end figures once they become available.

The information requested will help us to identify other relevant supervisors and the nature and extent of their Interest in CBL. In light of a potential need for urgent communications we cannot agree to an extension of the due date of 16 February 2018. The notice provides for an alternative if the 31 December 2017 valuation information is not available early enough for the due date. CBL can provide information as at an older date together with statements on any new countries of business and new ceding insurers (paragraphs 5 & 6 of the notice). If CBL is unable to provide even this level of detail please answer paragraphs 5 & 6 at a minimum by 16 February 2018, and follow up with the remaining information as soon as possible. This will be a breach of the notice but will at least provide us with some crucial and timely information.

I assume you would prefer for the details to be for 31 December 2017 post all of the expected substantial reserving adjustments, in which case we would not be able to commence the analysis until after the results are finalised and announced on 27 February 2018. Alternatively, if you were happy to receive such detailed analysis as at an earlier reporting date, we would still be unable to commence the collation of this information before 27 February. Also, given other ongoing workloads around this time, it would take us at least a week of elapsed time to complete the exercise, irrespective of the reporting date.

As requested, please find attached the signed agreement. Also as requested, I attach our response letter dated 9 February 2018 in response to the CBI "Minded to" letter dated 7 February 2018 (with appendices), along with a follow-up letter from our Chairman, Sir John Wells, to the CBI dated 11 February 2018.

Rupert From: Michael Parrott Sent: Sunday, 11 February 2018 8:56:13 p.m. To: Rupert Barber Subject: Reduction of Alpha/CBL Exposures Dear Rupert, The Danish regulator has called Alpha on Friday last to say that CBL Insurance has been dosed down, and threatened Alpha that it would force it to dose at Friday noon (Denmark time), if it couldn't significantly reduce its reinsurance exposure to CBL. (It appears to have been spooked by the NZX notice of suspension of CBL Corporation shares on the ASX/NZX). It would mean the closure of all Alpha business, whether reinsured to CBL or not. Alpha is a critical business producer in Europe of profitable short term bonding business to CBL, alongside a portfolio of French Construction business, and Alpha closing would be a very serious effect on CBL. Our key relationship is paying our share of claims on the reinsured portfolios we share. To be proactive on this issue, we agreed to reduce our reinsurance exposure to the Alpha book by making a €25m payment to Alpha, in consideration of receiving a credit reduction of €27m current and future claims on this business, (as we have previously done for CBLIE). The €25m payment of the claims liability reduces our obligations under the Reinsurance Agreements by €27m, giving us an additional immediate economic gain (in addition to reducing our claim liability exposures). The transfer of cash will be the sole property and an asset of Alpha, but is required to be held in a separated "Reinsurance Bank l
Account” to be provided by a third-party credit institution in the EU and only used to pay claims payable pursuant to policies insured/reinsured with CBL and Alpha under the Reinsurance Agreements. The proposal was fully discussed on Friday evening after business close and the payment is expected to go through tonight. The payment relates to underlying BAU exposures, and the reduction of same. It does not result in an increase in our exposure to Alpha, quite the reverse, and as noted above it reduces our reinsurance exposures. The claims payment will be a February transaction, and will result in a reduction in liability as at 28 February. That reduction, and the €2m fee will flow through February accounts. The claims settlement agreement was drawn up internally late on Friday evening and signed then (with an effective date of 8 February 2018 and a settlement date of 12th). As such the transaction does not impact on our FY17 Balance Sheet. The Danish regulator met with Alpha on Friday noon (Friday midnight NZtime), and we are advised they were pleased/surprised. It was also clarified with them that it was CBL Corporation who had asked NZX to keep the shares suspended. Apparently, because of what they have been advised by the New Zealand "regulator" (not sure by which one), and as a result of the notice by NZX on Thursday that CBL is going to be closed down, the regulator has now advised that it should calculate it's reserves as if CBL will not pay any dividend or ongoing reinsurance pay-out to Alpha in future. ! realise that this is late in the piece, and does not come under our existing directions, being the payment of BAD claims, but we would like to inform and discuss this with you, notwithstanding. I welcome any comments or questions you may have.

FILE NOTE AUTHOR DATE SUBJECT Rupert Barber 23 February 2018 Phone call with Michael Parrot, CBL Phone Cali, Friday, 23 February 2018, 8.50am Michael Parrott, CBL Quality Assurance Manger Robert Cole, Senior Advisor, Insurance Oversight, RBNZ Rupert Barber, Senior Analyst, Insurance Oversight, RBNZ RB and RC called MP to discuss several points: RB: United Specialty Insurance is this a new cedant as has not been on previous lists provided by CBL including on 16 February 2018? MP: Yes, this is a new cedant. New business in 2017. Previous information was from 31 December 2016. The insure Mexican trucks crossing US border. RC: Are they a US insurer and if so what State? MP agreed to find out. RB: There has been a breach of previous directions regarding the payment to Alpha. Peter agreed to make this payment for reasons stated. Putting that to one side, the United Specialty Insurance payments appear to be a series of three payments made over two days for collateral. MP: I queried this when I got the payment information but I understand they are three distinct payments:
2 53 RB: Responding to your previous request for the various reports on Elite, the Gibraltar supervisor has asked CBL to sign hold harmless letters. Is CBL prepared to do this? MP said yes, please give us the hold harmless letters to sign. RB undertook to do this. The next discussion was around the new direction issued on 21 February 2018. MP became very animated when we outlined how the direction should apply. MP demanded we have a process in place so that someone at the Bank was available to approve payments within a couple of hours during business hours. RC stated that it is up to CBL to ensure they have our approval before making payments caught by the direction. The onus is on them and Banks staff may not always be available at the time they want. MP queried whether the direction applied to CBL Corporation’s subsidiaries and that was not mentioned in the lower paragraph of the direction which only referred to CBL Corporation Limited. APRA have queried Assetlnsure on this. RC replied his understanding is it includes all subsidiaries per the first paragraph. RB stated his view is the same, and noted this was intentional and conscious choice to include the whole group, MP reiterated CBL doesn’t agree with this. RC offered to check with our legal people but repeated his view that CBL should be treating it as applying to the whole group. MP stated that if it applied to the whole group then we needed someone working all night who spoke French otherwise this is preventing normal BAU payments. RC reasserted that it is CBL's responsibility to ensure that the Bank’s approval is sought in the appropriate manner. This is for CBL to manage not us. RB added that it will slow down payments and that CBL will have to advise its subsidiaries of this. RB further reminded MP that it was stated in the letter our reasons for the direction, there has been a breach of previous directions, RB stated again that the payments to United Specialty Insurance appear to be a series of related payments and offered MP a second opportunity to comment on this again given it appears to be a second breach of directions. MP declined to agree and was frustrated this topic was re-raised. Cali ended. RcfS741486S vi.l

I think the Castlerock transaction was somewhat circular and a "smoke and mirrors" transaction, it was always predicated on Deloitte accepting it, and rather have not. RBNZ very sceptical on the transaction. They will see themselves vindicated and wiil get some comfort from it being reversed. ( ' A number of us have tried to bat Deloitte back, by reasoned memo or face to face meetings, it got rather heated when we visited with. We presented some very robust and reasoned arguments with Deloitte technical expert. RBNZ very sceptical on the transaction, I think they will get some comfort by it being reversed, and possibly get back some credibility with them. Deloitte is very concerned about the FMA, and what they would think about Deloitte agreeing to the transaction. We face this more and more where personal interests / conflicts either exist or potentially exist with Tony. He has every ability to argue the case with Deloitte, either together with us or separately. He has not shown any inclination to do this to date. Alternatively any of us would be happy to go with him if he prefers.

Tony not at all happy about dropping Castlerock Transaction and says this is potentially a breech ofContract and our credibility is at stake given how we have portrayed this to RBNZ in our various returns.

I did say he had the opportunity to say this last night and his view is everyone knows where he is coming from and it would be a waste oftime Regards John ( { 2

90 BUDDLE FINDLAY Nf W ZIM.A M D l.A W V£ !i $ 1 October 2018 To Davey Salmon / Jack Cundy LeeSalmonLong Auckland And to Matt Kersey/Alex Nelder Russell McVeagh Auckland From Scott Barker Bridie McKinnon By Email Dear Partners CIV 2018-404-306 Reserve Bank of New Zealand v CBL Insurance Limited
91 BUDDLE FINDLAY HEW it: A l A h!i> lAWVERS appears highly likely that CBLI was balance sheet insolvent for several years before the appointment of the interim liquidators. Added to this, there are serious potential consequences for CBLI and CBL Corporation board members arising from the fact that CBLI continued to write business from 2015 onwards, when the revised solvency returns demonstrate that CBLI was in breach of its insurance licence for the return periods ending 31 December 2014 and 30 June 2015. These breaches arose from the solvency capital being below 100% on both return dates. There is also a possible claim for misrepresentation and deceit against certain directors, the former CFO of CBLI, the National Bank of Samoa and its CEO, arising from the subterfuge over the nature of the term deposit of €12.5 million. This subterfuge is well-documented in the affidavits filed in CIV306, evidence that has not been answered by those involved. 5. There is a range of claims for breaches of directors' duties that could be made against the then CBLI directors, as well as possible claims against its various professional advisers, arising from the way in which CBLI's business was managed more generally from 2014 at latest, and possibly as far back as the limitation period permits. 6. There are likely to be other possible claims arising from historical insolvency of CBLI. Among these are claims for recovery of distributions by CBLI. At present, it appears that dividends of $22.5 million paid by CBLI to its shareholder LBC in 2015 and 2016 are vulnerable to recovery. Earlier dividend payments may also be susceptible of recovery. 7. The conduct on which all such claims is based supports the public interest grounds that are included in the grounds for liquidation. Investigations and accountability are important public interest considerations, but the matters above may well result in substantial recoveries for the insolvent estate in a liquidation. This is a material consideration for the Bank. 8. Yet, if the proponents of the DOCA have given any consideration to these possible recoveries, such details have not been shared with other stakeholders. Creditors’ scheme of arrangement 9. The Bank remains open to a scheme being proposed, albeit that it seems unlikely that such could be achieved in the six weeks before the liquidation hearing. Given that a scheme can be effective within a liquidation, this seems a more suitable process for any compromise with creditors, than the DOCA suggested by the shareholder and directors, 10. Furthermore, it seems uncontroversiai that liquidators would have the power to enter into binding commutation agreements with major cedants, such as the CA already agreed with Elite. Such would have the additional benefit of giving comfort to counterparties that pre-liquidation agreements, such as the liability settlement agreements, the CBLIE reinsurance trust and associated payments were not going to be attacked by permanent liquidators. Any commutation could be entered into as a part of, or separate to, any creditors' scheme. Negotiations for further commutations and a scheme can be advanced by the interim liquidators in the next six weeks and the period pending judgment. 8n5«4315?»3|Pa5l>2 H'unnMiJJ/r/im/toiuwH
92 BUDDLE FIND LAYe 11. Any proposed compromise (whether proposed under Part 14,15 or 15A) will need to address the issue raised in The Mayor Councillors and Burgesses of the Borough of Mount Albert v The Australasian Temperance and General Mutual Life Assurance Society Limited (New Zealand) [1937] UKPC 86 (18 October 1937). Conclusion 12. The Bank is proceeding with its liquidation application on 12 November 2018. The time for any further opposing evidence has now passed. It considers that the IPSA and public interest grounds strongly support, and the best interests of creditors would be served by, a liquidation order. It expressly does not support the DOCA put forward by LBC Holdings in conjunction with Messrs Harris and Hutchison, for reasons already provided. It remains open to a creditors' scheme being proposed on the understanding that such would operate within a liquidation. 13. This letter is written on an open basis.

Further the public interest is best served by CBL’s liquidation. The letter sets out some reasons for our view. • The letter also notes a scheme of arrangement could be a viable option either before or after liquidation. » Other parties to the liquidation were copied into the letter. • Korda Mentha has said that it has received negative feedback and comments to our 01 October 2018 letter from the supervisors of the main ceding insurers. e RBNZ has not received any such feedback directly, and so wants to check the veracity of this. « Robert asked if CBI has seen a copy of this letter or had it described to them? • Lisa replied that CBI has not seen the letter, but is aware KPMG as administrator of CBLIE has a copy provided by Mark Christen Mark Christer also mentioned the letter in discussion with CBI. • Robert noted that Mark Christer has been working for Korda Mentha, and is or soon will be working for Mr Harris & Mr Hutchison through South British Capital. « Lisa said she was aware RBNZ didn’t support the Korda Mentha proposal due to the continued involvement of Mr Harris. e Robert replied yes, plus a liquidator could have grounds to recover some funds from directors, dividends paid while insolvent, etc. The analysis by Korda Mentha putting their proposal as an alternative to liquidation ignores this aspect. • Lisa said the CBI is not in favour of the Korda Mentha proposal, and nor is KPMG as CBLIE’s administrator. e Lisa said after the meeting CBI discussed with Gibraltar Financial Services Commission to check they are on the same page. They are.

Carsten will check with Birgitta in case she is aware of it, but doesn’t think so. • Carsten did not seem to know of the Korda Mentha proposal. • Robert continued. The Korda Mentha proposal has Alpha, Elite and CBL Europe all commuting their business with CBL for in aggregate the level of the CBL PWC valuation less $20 million. • Carsten said he wouldn’t expect Alpha’s curator would accept a commutation for lower than their valuation and asked how Korda Mentha expects anyone to agree to this? • Robert replied that Korda Mentha and Mr Harris are telling the ceding insurers their plan is the only way to avoid lengthy litigation and a risk of voided transactions by a CBL liquidator, and therefore it is worth it for them to accept a lower payment. • Robert said from Carsten’s comments he assumes Carsten was unaware of the Korda Mentha proposal. • Carsten said no, but Alpha’s curator probably knows of it. • Carsten asked if there was pressure to do a quick deal? • Richard replied that Mr Harris and Korda Mentha are applying pressure to do a quick deal as a means to avoid liquidation. However RBNZ is convinced there is a strong public interest in CBL being put into liquidation. • Robert added that one of the issues with the Korda Mentha proposal is that Mr Harris will retain control of CBL. • Carsten said DFSA will discuss with Alpha's curator to see if they object to the Korda Mentha proposal. • Robert stated that RBNZ wishes to understand DFSA’s stance on it. RBNZ will send through the 1 October 2018 letter, and see if we can also send an outline of the Korda Mentha proposal. • Robert requested DFSA reasonably quickly provide its views on the Korda Mentha proposal. This could be by phone or email. 3) Denmark Financial Supervisory Authority phone call Thursday 11 October 2018 - Sam Ref#7761565 vl.l
