Press Release
News Article  March 2005


DAVIE, Fla., March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bristol West Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BRW) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. Under this program, share purchases may be made from time to time in the open market depending on share price, market conditions and other factors. The Company has engaged Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. to administer the stock repurchase program.

James R. Fisher, Chairman and CEO, said, "We are focused on maintaining our strategy of controlled and profitable growth and currently have sufficient capital to support our operations. We have repeatedly stated that we are willing to operate with a reasonable amount of operating leverage given our discipline and the strength of our pricing and underwriting controls. We also have put in place standby facilities to support our growth in the form of our variable quota share reinsurance agreement and our undrawn revolving credit facility. At recent trading levels we believe our stock is attractively priced and we can repurchase shares with existing organically generated funds. We believe our strategy will continue to produce attractive returns on equity and that repurchasing shares is in the best interests of our shareholders."
