Well if that's what Gene says, then we either own a piece of Wisdom International, or another reinsurance company was launched, or Gene isn't being upfront.
INSURANCE – INTERNATIONAL REINSURANCE COMPANY, LTD Wisdom International Corporation purchased International Reinsurance Company, Ltd (International Re) in 2003 and since that time propertycasualty insurance has been our core business and the propellant of our growth. Our efforts in the insurance industry have provided an amount of funds with which we have been able to grow the company. Because the insurance business is so important to our overall future growth, I will spend some time in this section telling you how we got were we are. The Founders of International Re realized in the midnineties that the insurance companies making the most profits in the insurance industry were those who were selling reinsurance policies. Therefore, International Re was founded and began its operation on February 8, 2000 and we believe we are on our way to establishing a niche as a leading, boutique reinsurance company.
RCC Holdings, Corp (hereafter referred to as "Company") was founded and organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 10, 2003. The company's founder is Mr. Gene Newton, born in Oxnard, California on May 14, 1946. Mr. Newton has an excess of thirty years of education, holding a Master's degree in Finance and a BA in Physical Education. Mr. Newton acquired International Reinsurance Company, Ltd. (hereafter referred to as "IRC"), a sole ownership business, originally licensed in the State of Wisconsin under the guidance of Mr. Todd Norvett, in which he was the founder and managing director during the mid-eighties till President. Upon the acquisition of IRC, Mr. Norvett resigned and was replaced by Mr. Holloway, who is presently the managing director of IRC. The acquisition of IRC was conducted as a transaction between Mr. Newton, Individually prior to the incorporation on March 10, 2003. Mr. Newton realized in the mid-eighties that the insurance companies that were the most profitable were the re-insurance companies. Mr. Norvett began IRC in February of 2000 and has become a significant niche in the reinsurance industry. After Mr. Newton's personal acquisition of IRC, he moved the company operation headquarters to Las Vegas, Nevada and maintains subsidiary offices in London, England and Dallas, Texas, in which it provides unique reinsurance solutions to clients throughout the world. IRC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company shortly after the founding of the Company in March of 2003. IRC's business includes the provisions of reinsurance and retrocession to underwriters of life, property, casualty, accident and health, in addition to, a world-class annuity business.
Mr. Holloway, under the direct supervision of Mr. Newton and the Board of Directors of the Company, has directed IRC towards reinsurance of companies such as Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway, have centered their entire operation around their insurance and reinsurance business, even though they own numerous name brand companies. There are no conflicts of interest between the above named firms.
