MultiNational Underwriters
Multinational Underwriters® (MNU) was established in 1998. It quickly became a recognized
leader in the field of international health insurance, offering a complete portfolio
of health and life insurance products to customers in over 130 countries. Sensing
the increasing acceptance of the Internet as a medium for commercial transactions,
MNU was among the first to make insurance products and services available via the
World Wide Web. This innovation has continued to evolve and, at present, MNU customers
can review coverage options, obtain quotes, purchase insurance and receive their
insurance documents - all electronically, without human intervention, 24 hours a
day. Today, many thousands of international insurance professionals host MNU’s electronic
tools on their websites, and this number continues to grow. MNU’s entrepreneurial
spirit does not stop in the marketing department.
In January 2008, MultiNational Underwriters® was acquired by HCC Insurance Holdings,
Inc. (NYSE: HCC). Headquartered in Houston, Texas, HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc.

United States and in Bermuda, Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The acquisition
by HCC allows MultiNational Underwriters® to expand its reach in the brokerage community.
