Release date- 16092021 - AM Best has withdrawn the Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of 'bbb-' (Good) of American Sentinel Insurance Company (American Sentinel) (Harrisburg, PA).

These Credit Ratings (ratings) were under review with developing implications pending the sale of American Sentinel.

The sale of American Sentinel to Pie Carrier Holdings was withdrawn. All the business in American Sentinel has been moved over into an affiliate, Aegis Security Insurance Company (Aegis).

Additionally, the company has received regulatory approval to enter into a Loss Portfolio Transfer and Quota Share Agreement between American Sentinel and Aegis, and management moved all of the reserves to Aegis. At the current time, American Sentinel is a shell company with no premium or reserves.
