Marion Insurance Company, Inc. (Merged into WM Citation). Marion Insurance Company (“Marion”), a Vermont corporation and non-debtor, wholly-owned subsidiary of WMI, was a captive reinsurance company, incorporated in September 2000 to act as a Vermont domiciled captive insurance company to reinsure the risk associated with lender placed hazard insurance policies, accidental death and dismemberment and mortgage life insurance. Prior to the Petition Date, Marion reinsured mortgage life, disability, and accidental death insurance written on mortgagees of WMB’s banks as well as lender placed hazard-related coverage on loans in the banks’ servicing portfolios.

In February 2009, the insurance commissioner of Vermont notified Marion that it was no longer in compliance with Vermont captive law because it no longer reinsured the risks of its affiliates, and therefore required that Marion no longer provide reinsurance as a Vermont captive. In response to this directive, in early 2009, Marion began the process of commuting its existing reinsurance contracts with four separate companies. By the beginning of June 2010, Marion had successfully commuted all reinsurance agreements with the four companies, including its reinsurance agreement with Assurant. As part of its commutation effort with Assurant, Marion created and deposited $17 million into a trust for the benefit of Assurant to pay remaining Claims over the next two years.

The term of the trust expires on December 31, 2011, after which the remaining assets, currently approximately $6.4 million, will revert, unrestricted, to WMI. In total, since the Petition Date, Marion has paid $74 million to WMI, either as distributions or in satisfaction of obligations to WMI.
