RSA begins new CEO hunt as Lee resigns amid £135m capital injection

Simon Lee

RSA has today announced the resignation of Simon Lee, group chief executive.

The news came as RSA said its Irish reserves will need to be strengthened by £130m as a result of its recent review. The majority of which relates to bodily injury strengthening in motor and liability lines. This is in addition to the £70m previously announced on 8 November relating to claims and finance issues in Ireland.

RSA intends to inject £135m of capital into RSA Insurance Ireland today to ensure that the solvency ratio of RSA Insurance Ireland is maintained above 200%.
