Liberty International Insurance Ltd

Liberty International Insurance Limited (Hong Kong) is a 100% owned
subsidiary company of Liberty Mutual Group. Liberty
Hong Kong's predecessor, OTB Assurance Ltd, first set foot in Hong Kong in 1973. At that time,
OTB Assurance Limited was equally owned by Overseas Trust Bank Ltd (OTB) and by a Singaporean
investor.
In 1986, the Company changed to be "Asia Pacific Insurance Limited", since OTB was
then not holding any share of the company. It was further renamed as "Citystate Asia Pacific
Insurance Limited" in early 1999 because of the merger with Citystate Insurance Limited,
another local general insurance company, which was owned by Citystate Holdings Plc.
In Nov 1999, the Company further renamed as "Liberty International Insurance Limited" when
Liberty Mutual acquired 70% shares from Citystate
Holdings Plc. Three years later, Liberty Mutual
took over the rest 30% shares of Citystate, and fully owns Liberty International Insurance
Limited.
