Tower Insurance Limited will be the amalgamated and continuing company. From the point of amalgamation:

Tower Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Wright, said that the amalgamation was another symbol that Tower has undergone a transformation into a simpler, more focussed business.

"Tower’s prior corporate structure was designed to support many different businesses and following a period of divestment and our focus on general insurance, this new structure will reduce complexity, effort and cost,” said Wright.
