Good Faith Estimate:  
Based upon our best estimates and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Statewide distribution date is being revised from the second quarter of 2010 to July 2010. Also, in addition to the projected 100% dividend distribution on claims allowed at policyholder priority level (d) of the Illinois statutory distribution scheme, the Special Deputy Receiver now anticipates that the previously projected “substantial” distribution on claims allowed at the general creditor level (g) will also be a 100% distribution. This good faith estimate is based upon information available and the circumstances known at the time that it was made. Before relying on this estimate in making any decisions, be aware that the underlying facts and circumstances upon which it is based are subject to change.

Historical Data:
   

On January 6, 2004, an Agreed Order of Liquidation with a Finding of Insolvency, was entered against Statewide Insurance Company in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Statewide’s board of directors consented to the order, which was entered based on the Director’s complaint that Statewide’s policyholder surplus was impaired in an amount in excess of $21 million.

Located in Waukegan, Illinois, Statewide Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Statewide Holding Corporation, was incorporated in 1979. Statewide was licensed in twenty-six states and wrote commercial multiple peril, commercial auto, general liability, umbrella coverage, workers compensation, inland marine and fidelity and surety bond business. The policies were primarily marketed to small general contractors and artisans in the Midwest and Western states.

The claim filing deadline was January 6, 2005. The deadline for liquidating timely-filed contingent claims was January 6, 2006. Early Access distributions totaling $19,350,961 have been made to various Guaranty Funds for administration expenses and claim payments.
