LONDON (ots)

Alea Group Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd. (Alea Group),the
global reinsurance and specialty insurance company, is pleased to
announce that A.M. Best has assigned a group rating of A- (Excellent)
to Alea North America Specialty Insurance Company (Alea Specialty), a
wholly owned US subsidiary of Alea.
A.M. Best said the group rating reflects Alea Specialty's core
status within Alea. The insurance rating and information source added
that the outlook on the rating is stable. According to A.M. Best,
Alea benefits from "an excellent level of current consolidated
risk-based capital, strong operating performance and consistently
improving business profile."
A capital contribution of $10,000,000 was made to Alea Specialty
following a Global Offer of new shares by Alea Group as part of its
listing on the London Stock Exchange in November 2003. The Global
Offer raised net proceeds of $260 million.

on behalf of Alea Specialty, providing an increased range of services
to its North American insurance customers.
Commenting on the rating action, Dennis Purkiss, Alea Group Chief
Executive, said: "We are delighted that A.M. Best has assigned this
rating to our North American specialty insurance subsidiary. Alea
Specialty's rating further extends the Group's considerable
capabilities in the insurance market, and in particular, in the North
American excess and surplus lines market. With Alea London, and now
Alea Specialty, we believe the growth prospects for this business
remain excellent."
Rob Byler, CEO of Alea Alternative Risk added, "The AM Best rating
offers yet another indication that Alea is strengthening its market
position, and providing our US clients with the choice they require
in structuring risk solutions. A key element of our strategy is
having a broad product offering, which in turn, allows our clients
greater flexibility in program design."
