AM Best Revises Outlooks to Stable for Société Tunisienne de Réassurance
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has revised the outlooks to stable from negative and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B (Fair) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of 'bb' (Fair) of Société Tunisienne de Réassurance (Tunis Re) (Tunisia). The Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect Tunis Re's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk management (ERM). The revision of the outlooks to stable from negative reflects AM Best's expectation that Tunis Re's rating fundamentals will remain resilient against the backdrop of the elevated economic, political and financial system risks prevailing in Tunisia. Tunis Re's balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), which was at the strongest level at year-end 2024. AM Best expects the company's risk-adjusted capitalisation to remain at the strongest level, supported by good organic capital generation, despite a relatively onerous dividend policy. The assessment factors in Tunis Re's conservative investment portfolio by asset class, and its concentration in Tunisia, where the company holds over 95% of its invested assets in line with regulatory requirements, which weighs on asset quality. Tunis Re has a track record of adequate operating performance, illustrated by a five-year (2020-2024) weighted average return-on-equity ratio of 8.2%. The company's earnings are derived largely from solid investment income, with a five-year weighted average net investment return (including gains/losses) of 7.8%. Tunis Re's underwriting performance is sound, underpinned by technical profits from its non-life portfolio, which translated into a five-year weighted average combined ratio of 96.0% (as calculated by AM Best). A partially offsetting rating factor is the potential volatility that foreign exchange gains and losses can introduce to Tunis Re's operating performance, as reported in recent years. Tunis Re's business profile assessment reflects its leading position in Tunisia and its good diversification into regional markets, with approximately 60% of gross written premium (GWP) generated outside Tunisia. Nonetheless, with GWP of TND 241 million (USD 76 million) in 2024, Tunis Re's scale remains limited in the global reinsurance market, which could hamper its ability to grow in a profitable manner due to competitive pressures. AM Best assesses Tunis Re's ERM as marginal, reflective of the high-risk operating environment in Tunisia, and the adverse impact it has on the company's risk profile. This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best's Recent Rating Activity web page.

Smartmatic Court Filing Describes Fox's Actions as a "Campaign of Knowing Lies"
BOCA RATON, Fla., June 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Smartmatic today presented overwhelming evidence that Fox not only defamed the company, but did so knowingly and deliberately, at the direction of Rupert Murdoch and senior leadership, in a desperate attempt to retain angry viewers. A legal filing submitted in New York highlights that Fox's reckless actions not only inflicted damage on Smartmatic, but undermined Americans' faith in free and fair elections. "Fox lies again. Internal communications reveal that they knew there was no credible evidence of Smartmatic participating in election fraud, yet they deliberately chose to promote false narratives against the company anyway. These communications show contempt against their viewers, the country and the President," Smartmatic stated. Smartmatic's filing stems from the defamation lawsuit against Fox over its promotion of false claims about the company's role in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. "This is not a case about freedom of the press," said Erik Connolly, external legal counsel for Smartmatic. "This is about a media empire choosing to lie for ratings and profit, no matter the consequences and no matter the damage done." Fox's Campaign of Deception The opposition brief details how, despite evidence proving that they knew the accusations were baseless, Fox executives and hosts internally described Rudolph Giuliani and Sidney Powell as "crazy," "nuts," "bonkers," and "comic book stuff." Yet, they promoted their outlandish conspiracy theories against Smartmatic. Internal Fox communications confirm that no one at the network had any evidence implicating Smartmatic. Yet, across 66 broadcasts and publications, Fox mentioned Smartmatic more than 100 times — part of what the brief calls "one of the most destructive disinformation campaigns in American history." Both sides have filed motions asking the court to rule in its favor. However, most of the important information in the motions is currently redacted. Smartmatic has told the court that it supports transparency and believes most, if not all, of the information should be unredacted and available to the public. Fox has not. The New York Times recently filed a motion to gain access to the filings, a motion Smartmatic supports. Separately, the Court is considering a motion to hold Fox accountable for knowingly destroying evidence in the case. Manufactured Villain, Real-World Harm The brief further explains how the Murdochs orchestrated a calculated campaign of lies, and how Fox embraced a xenophobic effort to portray Smartmatic as a foreign villain — using labels such as "Venezuelan," "Chinese," and "Cuban" — while omitting facts that contradicted this narrative. The result was death threats against employees and their families, lost contracts, and a global erosion of trust in election technology. "Before Fox's campaign, Smartmatic had a perfect record: 6 billion votes, zero security breaches," Connolly noted. "They were trusted worldwide — from the largest U.S. County to elections praised by international election observers. Fox destroyed that trust in a month." The Stakes Fox not only caused Smartmatic significant reputational and financial farm, it also damaged public confidence in democratic elections. The broader casualties of these lies include American democratic institutions. "The evidence shows this was a top-down strategy, not rogue behavior," said Connolly. "Fox can't hide behind legal technicalities or recycled defenses. It told lies. It knew they were lies. Now it must face the consequences."
