The Home Insurance Company (Canadian Branch), In Liquidation (“Home Canada”)

Notice

Home Canada was ordered wound-up under the provisions of the Wind- ing-up and Restructuring Act (Canada) on June 26, 2003 and Deloitte & Touche Inc. was appointed its liquidator (the “Liquidator”). Home Cana- da’s policies of insurance have been transferred to Lombard General Insurance Company (“Lombard”). The Liquidator hereby gives notice that the Court has fixed Friday, the 15th day of October 2004 as the last day to assert claims against Home Canada.

Take Notice that failure to give notice of a claim by October 15, 2004 may result in distributions being made without regard to that claim.

Further Take Notice that a Statement of Claimants and Creditors shall be filed in the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions pursuant to Section 168(1) of the Winding-up and Restructuring Act, R.S.C. not less than thirty (30) days after the last day fixed for sending in claims.

Please Notice: If you were a policyholder or claimant under a Home Canada policy, you do not have to file a claim with the Liquidator for Lombard to deal with you. However, you should file a claim if you assert that you have a claim that may not have been fully satisfied or recognized by Lombard’s assumption of your Home Canada policy, or otherwise wish to assert a claim against Home Canada.

For further information or for a claim form, please contact Glynis Bass of Deloitte & Touche Inc. in writing.

This Notice is being given pursuant to the Order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dated August 5, 2004.
