Annuity & Life and Transamerica Resolve Dispute

Annuity and Life Re (Holdings), Ltd. (NYSE: ANR) today reported that the Company and Transamerica have agreed to settle all disputes relating to the current arbitration proceedings between the two parties.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Transamerica and the Company will calculate monthly settlements under their reinsurance treaty in a manner the Company believes is consistent with the original terms of the treaty.  Transamerica also agreed to the Company's $5.0 million offset of amounts owing to Transamerica at October 31, 2003.  The Company will pay Transamerica approximately $8.7 million, representing amounts currently due under the reinsurance treaty as of April 30, 2004.  The Company does not expect an adverse impact on its financial results as a result of the settlement.
Jay Burke, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented,
"We are very pleased that Transamerica and the Company were able to amicably resolve their differences.  The Company's future is heavily dependent upon the performance of this contract, and we are hopeful that with this dispute out of the way we can have a more constructive dialogue with Transamerica."
