Additional Information:

Our business stands on the threshold of an exciting and different future, separate from RBS Group. RBS is required to reduce its interest in our business so that it no longer has a controlling interest by 31 December 2013, and divest (relinquish) its entire shareholding by 31 December 2014.  Before any divestment can occur we need to show to the satisfaction of regulatory bodies that we can function as a stand-alone business, a process we refer to as separation.

In February this year, we launched our new name Direct Line Group, which brought all our brands together – Direct Line, Churchill, GreenFlag, Privilege, Commercial and Brand Partners that will strongly represent us in the market on our journey to building Britain's best retail general insurer.
