INFORMATION FOR GENERAL ACCIDENT PLC PREFERENCE SHAREHOLDERS
GENERAL ACCIDENT PLC
Unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2019
These results are published for the benefit of preference
shareholders of General Accident plc ("the Company") for the six
months ended 30 June 2019. The preference shares have remained
listed on the London Stock Exchange following the merger of the
Company with Commercial Union plc, in June 1998 to form CGU plc
("CGU"), and the subsequent merger of CGU with Norwich Union plc in
May 2000 to form Aviva plc (formerly CGNU plc).
The Company transferred its interest in its subsidiaries to its
parent company, Aviva plc ("Aviva") in 2005, in return for an
inter-company loan with Aviva. The income of the Company for the
six months to 30 June 2019 consists of interest received on this
loan. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company for
the remainder of the year are (1) credit risk, as the net asset
value of the Company's financial resources is exposed to the
potential default on the loans and short term receivables due from
its parent, Aviva, and (2) interest rate risk, as the net asset
value of the Company's financial resources is exposed to potential
fluctuations in interest rates impacting investment income.
Exposure to both credit and interest rate risk is managed through
the monitoring of several risk measures.
The Company is part of the Aviva group ("Group") and Aviva owns
100% of the Company's ordinary issued share capital.
