Scottish Re Posts to its Web Site Second Quarter 2009 Financial Statements

Scottish Re Group Limited (Pink Sheets:SKRRF), "Scottish Re" or the "Company", announced today that it has posted to its web site its consolidated unaudited financial statements for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. For the three month period ended June 30, 2009, Scottish Re reported net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of $176.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted ordinary share, as compared to a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $466.0 million, or ($6.81) per diluted ordinary share, for the prior year period. The net income attributable to ordinary shareholders for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was driven by net realized and unrealized gains of $133.1 million resulting from an overall market recovery of fixed maturity investments and an additional $59.8 million gain associated with the sale, in the first quarter of 2009, to Hannover Ruckversicherung AG (“Hannover Re”) of a block of individual life reinsurance business acquired by the Company from ING.

The gain on sale of the individual life reinsurance business to Hannover Re was subject to certain contingencies which resulted in the recognition of a $702.2 million gain for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, of which $642.4 million and $59.8 million were recognized in the first and second quarters of 2009 respectively. An additional $1.4 million gain may be recognized in the second half of 2009 if additional contingencies are satisfied.
