Statement regarding the death of Jonathan Bloomer

 

Hamilton, Bermuda (22 August 2024) - It is with profound sadness that the
Board of Hiscox Ltd ("Hiscox" or the "Company") confirms that its Chair,
Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy died in the tragic sinking of the Bayesian
off the coast of Sicily on Monday 19 August.

 

Aki Hussain, Hiscox Group CEO, comments:

 

"We are deeply shocked and saddened by Jonathan and Judy's tragic deaths. Our
deepest sympathies go out to their family and friends at this devastating
time.

 

"It was a privilege to have known Jonathan and to have benefitted from his
generosity and wisdom over the last year in his role as Chair of Hiscox. His
deep experience across our industry and in the broader business arena,
combined with his personal values, made him both an excellent Chair and a
person I was proud to know and work with. His advice and support were
immensely valuable to me, and he will be dearly missed."
