International General Insurance Holdings Ltd. (“IGI” or the
“Company”) (NASDAQ: IGIC) today announced the appointment of Emily
Clapham as Senior Underwriter for the Company’s recently announced
Contingency line of business.
Emily has extensive experience in contingency underwriting, and
joins from Fidelis’ London office, where she was Contingency
Underwriter. Previously, she was Contingency Underwriter for
Beazley, where she joined after completing the Lloyd’s Generalist
Graduate Programme in 2014.
Reporting to Richard Foster, Head of Property, Political
Violence and Contingency, Emily will be based in IGI’s London
office and will be responsible for developing both standard and
tailor-made solutions to a wide range of clients who operate across
the event, entertainment, arts, and sporting industries. IGI
launched its new contingency insurance line of business in April
2021 to take advantage of improving market conditions following a
period of disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and
government-mandated lockdowns.
The contingency line includes event cancellation coverage on an
all risks or named perils basis, as well as non-appearance
insurance, prize indemnity, bespoke parametric solutions, and
transmission failure policies.
“We are delighted to welcome Emily to IGI,” said Mr. Foster.
“She brings an impressive combination of technical underwriting
skill and robust knowledge of the latest pricing systems and tools
to put IGI in good stead to start writing contingency business as
the event world opens up again.”

our expectations regarding pricing and other market conditions, our

involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the
actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most
of these factors are outside of the control of IGI and are
difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences
include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in demand for IGI’s
services together with the possibility that IGI may be adversely
affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors
globally and in the regions in which it operates; (2) competition,
the ability of IGI to grow and manage growth profitably and IGI’s
ability to retain its key employees; (3) changes in applicable laws

Factors” therein, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC.
The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. In addition,
forward-looking statements are inherently based on various
estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those
preparing them and are also subject to significant economic,
competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies,
all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of
which are beyond the control of IGI. There can be no assurance that
IGI’s financial condition or results of operations will be
consistent with those set forth in such forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. IGI does not
undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release
publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements
