Hiscox is committed to complying with the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) requirements. OFAC administers and enforces economic sanctions policy based on Presidential declarations of national emergency. OFAC has identified and listed numerous foreign agents, front organizations, terrorists, and narcotics traffickers as Specially Designated Nationals (SDN’s) and Blocked Persons.

A list of Specially Designated Nationals, Blocked Persons and Sanctioned Countries may be found on the United States Treasury’s web site http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/.

Economic sanctions prohibit all United States citizens (including corporations and other entities) and permanent resident aliens from engaging in transactions with Specially Designated Nationals, Blocked Persons and Sanctioned Countries. Hiscox may not accept premium from or issue a policy to insure property of or make a claim payment to a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person. Hiscox may not engage in business transactions with a Sanctioned Country.

A Specially Designated National or Blocked Person is any person who is determined as such by the Secretary of Treasury.

A Sanctioned Country is any country that is the subject of trade or economic embargoes imposed by the laws or regulations of the United States.

In accordance with laws and regulations of the United States concerning economic and trade embargoes, this policy may be rendered void from its inception with respect to any term or condition of this policy that violates any laws or regulations of the United States concerning economic and trade embargoes including, but not limited to the following:

(1) Any insured under this Policy, or any person or entity claiming the benefits of such insured, who is or becomes a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person or who is otherwise subject to US economic trade sanctions;

(2) Any claim or suit that is brought in a Sanctioned Country or by a Sanctioned Country government, where any action in connection with such claim or suit is prohibited by US economic or trade sanctions;

(3) Any claim or suit that is brought by any Specially Designated National or Blocked Person or any person or entity who is otherwise subject to US economic or trade sanctions;

(4) Property that is located in a Sanctioned Country or that is owned by, rented to or in the care, custody or control of a Sanctioned Country government, where any activities related to such property are prohibited by US economic or trade sanctions; or

(5) Property that is owned by, rented to or in the care, custody or control of a Specially Designated National or

Blocked Person, or any person or entity who is otherwise subject to US economic or trade sanctions.
