Re Contract BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2003-- R&SA's UK Life Operations Will Transfer to Unisys Insurance Services Limited (UISL), One of The Largest Providers of Managed Insurance Administration Services in the UK In one of the biggest-ever outsourcing agreements in the UK life and pensions market, Royal & SunAlliance and Unisys (NYSE:UIS) today announced that Unisys Insurance Services Limited (UISL) -- a wholly owned Unisys subsidiary--will undertake the processing and administration of the 2.4 million life and pensions policies of Royal & SunAlliance's UK Life operation. The contract is for an initial term of 10 years with an estimated value in excess of $450 million (300 million Pounds Sterling), based on projected policy volume. By drawing on Unisys end-to-end insurance administration processing expertise, Royal & SunAlliance expects to improve customer service, maintain competitive costs per policy and expand the professional opportunities of its employees transferring to UISL. Peter Hanby, managing director of Royal & SunAlliance's UK Life operation, said, 'This deal delivers highly competitive and directly variable administration costs for our Life business, at the same time as providing our customers with good quality service in the future. It is also good news for those employees transferring across to Unisys, who will be joining a leading outsourcing specialist, whilst maintaining stretching career opportunities for those people remaining in R&SA's Governance Team.' Peter Thomas, managing director at UISL said, 'Unisys has an excellent track record of providing managed services worldwide that deliver tangible business results to our clients and their customers. We are delighted to have R&SA UK Life become a client of UISL, where we will now manage more than four million policies for the life and pensions market in the UK. We welcome the R&SA employees transferring across to us, and we're confident that together we will make the most of the opportunities that exist to develop in a dynamic, global market.' The new arrangement is designed to deliver high levels of service for R&SA customers, who will be served by UISL. UISL is one of the UK's largest providers of managed insurance administration services, including 1.7 million policies for Abbey Life. Over the term of the Royal & SunAlliance agreement, UISL will maintain the continuity of customer services while improving the operation's capability and efficiency, enhancing business applications and migrating legacy computer systems to open, strategic platforms. The deal also secures for Royal & SunAlliance a competitive maintenance cost per policy through the contract's variable cost structure as well as the improved operational efficiency and flexibility Unisys can bring to the UK Life business operation. The announcement follows Royal & SunAlliance's decision to close its UK Life operation to new clients as part of its ongoing strategy to reshape the company. As part of the arrangement, effective on May 1, approximately 1,700 R&SA employees will transfer to UISL, which will maintain R&SA's operations in Liverpool and Horsham. The contract opens professional opportunities for R&SA's Life employees, who will be transferring to a market-leading outsourcing specialist with operations worldwide. R&SA and Unisys consulted fully with union representatives throughout the development of this agreement. R&SA's UK Life operation will retain a small governance team to manage both the Unisys and other existing outsourced contracts, oversee the financial and regulatory responsibilities of the life company and provide legislative and regulatory reporting to the Group.
