CONFIRMATION OF REGULATORY UNDERWRITING CAPACITY

Amlin plc ('Amlin') confirms that Syndicate 2001's regulatory underwriting
capacity for 2004 is being maintained at its 2003 level of £1 billion. Amlin
owns 100% of its managed Syndicate 2001 for the 2004 year of account. This
equates to 16% growth in Amlin's owned underwriting capacity from 2003.

Amlin's capacity for 2004 is supported through its own resources, by letters of
credit totalling £130 million from a syndicate of banks led by Lloyds TSB Bank
plc (2003: £70 million) and by letters of credit totalling US$90 million
provided through Amlin's 12.7% shareholder, State Farm Mutual Automobile
Insurance Company (2003: US$130 million).
