MISSION INSURANCE COMPANY AND MISSION NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY TRUST
FAQs for Stock Distribution

History of Trust

  1. What are Mission Insurance Company and Mission National Insurance Company Trust?
    Mission Insurance Company and Mission National Insurance Company ("MIC" and MNIC" or collectively "Mission Insurance Companies") were California-domiciled companies that wrote Property & Casualty business in multiple states prior to their insolvency. These companies were subsidiaries of the Mission Insurance Group ("MIG").

    The Mission Insurance Company Trust and the Mission National Insurance Company Trust were the legal entities to which, respectively, all MIC and MNIC assets and liabilities were transferred. The California Insurance Commissioner is the court- appointed trustee of the MIC and MNIC trusts.

  2. Why are MIC and MNIC in Liquidation?
    The Mission Insurance Companies were ordered into liquidation by the Superior Court of California on February 24, 1987, due to their financial condition.

  3. What is Covanta Holding Corporation (CVA)?
    The Mission Insurance Companies were subsidiaries of Mission Insurance Group.
    When Mission Insurance Group and its subsidiaries emerged from bankruptcy, the name of the company was changed to Danielson Holding Corporation. Subsequently, the name of the company was changed in 2005 to Covanta Holding Corporation.

  4. Why are MIC Trust and MNIC Trust distributing CVA shares and/or cash in lieu?
    The MIC and MNIC trusts are distributing securities pursuant to the requirements of the Agreement of Reorganization, Rehabilitation and Restructuring (the "RRR Agreement"), the Rehabilitation Plan Implementation Agreement (the "Implementation Agreement"), the MIC Trust and MNIC Trust Agreements and court-approved distribution plans. These shares were obtained by the MIC and MNIC trusts for distribution to creditors.

    Calculation

  5. How were my shares calculated?
    A detail of the calculations is set forth on the motion to approve the distributions which is located on the CLO website, www.caclo.org

  6. Who determined eligibility?
    Eligibility was determined pursuant to the RRR Agreement and the Implementation Agreement. All holders of approved proofs of claim were considered for eligibility. Those approved claimants with deficiency claims were eligible, based on the court-approved RRR Agreement and Implementation Agreement.

    Distribution

  10. Will there be more share distributions?
    This is the only share distribution. Other distribution of assets towards approved claims will depend on the further assets available to the Trusts. Current projections are that each trust will make further distributions of cash to approved claimants. The entitlement of each claimant to receive a distribution will depend on that claimant's status, priority and the amount of each claimant's claim(s).

  11. What if I wish to decline the stock distribution?
    If you wish to decline the stock distribution, please consult with your legal or tax advisor.
