Regulation FD Disclosure

Hamilton, Bermuda (1 February 2013): The Joint Liquidators (“JLs”) of Trenwick Group Limited (“the Company” or “TGL”) are providing holders of the Company's Common Shares, par value US$0.10 per share (the "Common Shares") with a status report of the affairs of the Company. The Company's previous reports on Form 8-K are available free of charge at the SEC's website www.sec.gov.

1. Company background

In August 2003, insolvency proceedings were initiated in both the United States and Bermuda. The Supreme Court of Bermuda (the “Bermuda Court”) ordered that Michael Morrison, of KPMG Advisory Limited in Bermuda, and John Wardrop of KPMG LLP in England be appointed Joint Provisional Liquidators to the Company (the “Joint Provisional Liquidators”) and the Company’s subsidiary company, LaSalle Re Holdings Limited (“LSRH”).

Concurrently Trenwick America Corporation (“TAC”), along with the Company and LSRH, filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “U.S. Bankruptcy Code”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Bankruptcy Court”), to run in parallel with the provisional liquidation in Bermuda. In 2003 and 2004, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of certain of the Company’s former UK-based affiliates and the reorganization of TAC, the holding company of TGL’s U.S. insurance entities, pursuant to which these former affiliates were separated from TGL.

As a result, TAC and its successor, Trenwick America LLC1 (“TALLC”), is no longer affiliated with TGL (or any of TGL’s subsidiaries) and TGL has no material economic interest in TALLC or its affiliates except for its holding of certain securities issued by TALLC (see section 2.1 below).

Since there were insufficient assets to support the reorganization of the Company and LSRH, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court dismissed the Company and LSRH’s cases in 2004 in deference to the ongoing Bermudian liquidation proceedings. Following the dismissal of their chapter 11 cases, the JPLs of the Company and LSRH filed petitions under section 304 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and applications for certain injunctive relief (the “304 Petitions”) with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The impetus behind the 304 Petitions was to investigate, and, if appropriate, prosecute various claims and causes of action that might exist in favour of the Company and LSRH, and to protect and preserve the Company’s and LSRH’s assets. The relief sought in the 304 Petitions was granted by court orders of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court dated May 26, 2005.

TGL was subsequently placed into liquidation by the Bermuda Court on November 4, 2005 and Mike Morrison and John Wardrop were appointed as TGL’s permanent Joint Liquidators.

2. Current status of TGL’s liquidation

The timing of the completion of the Company’s liquidation is dependent on the completion of the

On August 15 2005 substantially all of TAC’s assets and liabilities were transferred to TALLC. As a result of this reorganization TALLC owns, directly or indirectly all of the voting securities of Trenwick America Reinsurance Company, TARCO’s subsidiaries Trenwick America Service Corporation and the Insurance Company of New York, which is currently in rehabilitation under the supervision of the New York Insurance Department.

~~liquidation~~2. ofClosure ~~TGL’s subsidiaries and realisation~~ of ~~its~~the ~~remaining~~liquidation ~~asset as set out below.~~proceedings

2The Company’s few remaining assets have now been collected and its main subsidiary, LSRH is in the process of being dissolved.1 ~~Senior~~The ~~and~~JL’s ~~Junior~~actions ~~Subordinated~~to ~~notes~~finalise ~~issued~~the byCompany’s ~~Trenwick~~affairs ~~America~~since ~~LLC~~the issuance of the last report are summarised below.

~~In 2007 TGL acquired an interest in Senior Secured Notes (face value of $~~2.251 ~~million)~~Senior and Junior Subordinated ~~Secured~~notes ~~Notes~~issued ~~(face~~by ~~value of $2.75 million) (together the “~~TALLC Notes”) as part of a negotiated settlement with TALLC regarding a dispute with Trenwick Barbados Ltd. Whilst the TALLC Notes have a combined face value of $5 million, it is expected that they will only be redeemed at a small fraction of their aggregate face value.

~~Over~~In ~~the~~2007 ~~past~~TGL ~~two~~acquired ~~years~~an ~~the JLs have explored possible ways of monetizing their economic~~ interest in ~~the~~Senior ~~TALLC~~Secured Notes~~. To~~ ~~this~~(face ~~end,~~value ~~the~~of ~~JLs~~US$2.25 ~~have~~million) ~~held discussions with TALLC to discuss the progress made on the TARCO run-off~~ and ~~held~~Junior ~~discussions~~Subordinated ~~with~~Secured ~~other~~Notes ~~parties~~(face ~~regarding~~value ~~the acquisition~~ of ~~TGL’s~~US$2.75 ~~interest~~million) in(together the “TALLC Notes”). ~~However,~~Whilst ~~to date~~ the ~~sale~~TALLC ~~discussions~~Notes have ~~not~~a ~~resulted~~combined inface ~~any~~value ~~formal agreement, mainly as a result~~ of ~~the~~US$5 ~~fact~~million, ~~that~~it ~~the~~was ~~JLs~~always ~~believe~~expected that ~~the~~they ~~level~~would ofonly ~~offers~~be doredeemed ~~not~~or ~~reflect~~sold ~~the~~at ~~realisable~~a ~~value~~small fraction of ~~the~~their ~~TALLC~~aggregate ~~Notes~~face value.

The ~~residual~~value ~~vale~~ of the TALLC Notes ~~will~~was ~~ultimately~~primarily ~~depend~~dependent onupon the value that ~~can~~could be realised by TALLC from its wholly owned subsidiary, Trenwick America Reinsurance Corporation (“TARCO”). TARCO ~~which~~is alicensed ~~wholly~~as ~~owned~~a ~~subsidiary~~reinsurer ~~of TAC LLC (~~and isincorporated ~~not~~in ~~therefore~~the anState ~~affiliate or a subsidiary~~ of ~~TGL). TARCO is a~~ Connecticut ~~incorporated~~and ~~reinsurance~~is ~~company~~ currently in run-off~~. TARCO~~ ~~is essentially TALLC’s only major asset~~ and ~~therefore~~under ~~any~~the ~~distribution~~supervisory ~~from~~oversight ~~TALLC~~of ~~to its Noteholders (including TGL) is primarily dependent upon~~ the ~~value~~Connecticut ~~that~~Insurance ~~TALLC can realise from its shareholding in TARCO~~Department.

The ~~long-term~~JLs ~~nature~~have ofexplored ~~its~~ways ~~reinsurance liabilities means that, absent a sale~~ of ~~the~~monetizing ~~TARCO~~their ~~business,~~economic itinterest ~~may~~in ~~be some years until~~ the ~~ultimate~~TALLC ~~net asset position of TARCO can be ascertained~~Notes. ~~Therefore~~To ~~it may be many years until TARCO can make a distribution to its shareholder. For~~ this ~~reason~~end, itthe ~~has~~JLs ~~been~~held ~~highly~~discussions ~~problematic~~with ~~for~~TALLC ~~the Joint Liquidators~~ to ~~obtain~~ascertain ~~an acceptable offer for~~ the ~~TALLC~~progress ~~Notes~~made ~~given~~on the ~~substantial~~TARCO ~~discount~~run-off ~~that~~and ~~purchasers~~contacted ~~have~~a ~~demanded~~number toof ~~reflect~~parties regarding the ~~timing~~potential ~~and~~acquisition ~~underwriting~~of ~~risk~~TGL’s ~~prevalent~~interest in the ~~TARCO~~TALLC ~~asset~~Notes.

~~The~~Based ~~Joint~~on ~~liquidators~~discussions ~~intend~~with toTALLC ~~delay~~the ~~any~~JLs ~~sale~~formed ofthe ~~their~~opinion ~~interest~~that init ~~the~~would ~~TALLC~~take ~~Notes~~number ~~until~~years ~~such~~before ~~time~~they ~~that~~were ~~there~~able isto ~~greater~~receive ~~clarity~~a ~~regarding~~material ~~the~~distribution ~~future~~under ofthe ~~TARCO~~TALLC Notes. ~~Consequently,~~In inthe ~~order~~meantime the estate would continue to ~~minimise~~incur ~~liquidation~~administrative costs that would diminish the funds available for distribution to the Company’s creditor. As such, the JLs ~~have~~undertook ~~effectively~~a ~~ceased~~sale ~~any~~process ~~further~~in ~~work~~order onto ~~TGL~~realise ~~until~~the ~~such~~asset. The ~~time~~TALLC ~~that~~Notes ~~the~~were ~~plans~~then ~~for~~transferred ~~TARCO~~to ~~have~~the ~~been~~successful ~~crystallised~~bidder.

~~Notwithstanding~~The ~~the~~offers ~~quantum~~received offor ~~any recovery from~~ the TALLC Notes, ~~any~~reflected ~~realisations from~~ the ~~TALLC~~substantial ~~Notes,~~discount ~~after~~that ~~payment~~purchasers ofrequired ~~the liquidation fees~~ and ~~expenses,~~reflected ~~will flow to its subsidiary LSRH and ultimately to LSRH’s preferred shareholders given~~ the ~~existence~~significant oftiming ~~an inter-company debt between TGL~~ and ~~LSRH.~~underwriting Asrisk aprevalent ~~consequence the holders of TGL’s common shares effectively have no economic interest~~ in the ~~remaining~~TALLC ~~asset realisations from TGL’s estate~~Notes.

~~2.2 Liquidation~~Whilst the sale price was only a small fraction of ~~TGL~~the face value of the TALLC Notes, the JLs believe that a sale offered the best value for the Company’s ~~subsidiaries~~creditors given the annual costs of managing the estate and the significant uncertainty regarding the eventual distribution from TALLC.

TGL’s only remaining direct subsidiary, LSRH, remains in liquidation and under the control of the JLs. The final dissolution of LSRH will only be completed once TGL has completed the final asset realisation described above and made a final liquidation distribution to LSRH.

The JLs of LSRH will then make a final dividend payment to the holders of LSRH’s Series A Preferred Stock, after which time LSRH and TGL can be formally dissolved.

3. Prospects for the holders of TGL’s common shares

~~Based~~As onpreviously ~~the above~~reported, ~~the JLs remain of the view that~~ all of the remaining economic interest in the Company resides with its subsidiary LSRH given the existence of a substantial inter-company debt between TGL and LSRH.

As such, ~~any~~there ~~future~~will ~~asset~~be ~~recoveries~~no ~~that~~distribution to the ~~JLs~~holders of TGL’s common shares given that the ~~Company~~asset ~~may~~recoveries bethat the JLs were able to achieve from the Company’s estate ~~will~~were ~~flow~~distributed to LSRH ~~and~~in ~~ultimately~~partial tosatisfaction of the ~~holders~~Company’s ofliability to LSRH's ~~Series~~in Arelation ~~Preferred~~to ~~Shares~~the inter-company debt.

The JLs are therefore of the opinion that there is no realistic prospect of a distribution to the holders of the Company's common shares.

4. Future reporting

~~Given~~Following the ~~administrative~~payment ~~costs~~of ~~involved~~the infinal ~~preparing~~distribution ~~reports~~to ~~for~~ the Company’s ~~shareholders,~~only ~~the~~remaining ~~JLs~~creditor, ~~intend~~LSRH, ~~to continue to limit TGL’s public announcements in~~ the ~~future to material events relating to the~~ Company’s ~~winding-up~~will ~~(liquidation)~~be ~~proceedings in Bermuda~~dissolved.
