The impairment charge results from the Company's receipt, on November 30, 2010, of notice that the client would not renew its contract with the Company after June 1, 2011. The Company expects the lapse of the contract to have a positive impact on Assurant Solutions' profitability in 2011 as the associated business runs off. No portion of the impairment charge will result in future cash expenditures.
