Assurant Inc. concluded that it will take a non-cash charge of approximately $27 million pre-tax ($20 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2012 for the impairment of certain other intangible assets in the Assurant Solutions segment. These assets were established primarily in connection with the 2007 acquisitions of two U.K. mortgage insurance brokers. The non-cash impairment charge is not expected to have an adverse impact on the Company's normal business operations, cash position or cash flows from operating activities, or to result in future cash expenditures.
