GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands – Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin has been invited to join Oxbridge Re in ringing the opening bell at NASDAQ on Wall Street in New York City.

The event will take place at 9:30 a.m. on United States Tax Day, 15 April, 2014.

“This is certainly an honour and a privilege,” said Mr. McLaughlin. “One of the perks of being a public company is ringing the bell on the NASDAQ and I am happy to be with Jay and his team on this historic occasion. This is another excellent opportunity for the Cayman Islands to tell its positive story of providing sound financial services based on modern and stringent laws and regulations in a politically stable environment.”

Jay Madhu is Chief Executive Officer of Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited.

Oxbridge is a Cayman Islands exempted company that was organised in April 2013 to provide reinsurance business solutions primarily to property and casualty insurers in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. Through Oxbridge’s licensed reinsurance subsidiary, Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited, it writes fully collateralised policies to cover property losses from specified catastrophes.

The Cayman Islands Government has been proactively seeking reinsurance companies to domicile in the country. Significant revisions to the Insurance Law restructured Class B companies into four categories, including a new class of Insurer for Reinsurance companies and Insurance Linked Securities.

“Global reinsurance markets have reacted positively to Cayman’s new Insurance Law and several reinsurance entities are considering establishing a reinsurance presence in the Cayman Islands. We expect this trend to gain momentum during this year,” said Mr. McLaughlin.

Travelling with the Premier will be Press Secretary Tammie C. Chisholm. They leave Cayman Monday and return Tuesday.
