theflyonthewall.com: Hartford Financial says separation of life, P&C units would create difficulties
Hatford Financial said that it would have difficulty maintaining competitive ratings if it separated its life insurance and P&C companies while allocating $6.8B in holding company debt. The company made the statements in a presentation slide this morning. In the event of a separation, the P&C companies would have to assume at least two-thirds of the debt, and could potentially have to take dilute deleveraging action in order to retain their "A" ratings, explained Hartfod. Furthermore, regulators could condition their approval of a spin-off on the companies making capital contributions, or executing keepwell agreements among themselves. In addition, a significant portion of the life insurance companies' deferred tax assets could have to be written off, The Hartford added. :theflyonthewall.com
