ACE European Group Announces Continental Management Changes



    ACE European Group (NYSE:ACE) has today announced some changes to
    its Continental European country management with immediate effect.

    Jeff Moghrabi is to assume the role of Country Manager for ACE
    France, replacing Olivier Muraire. Jeff moves to ACE's Paris office
    from Milan where he was Manager for ACE in the Southern European
    region - encompassing Italy, Spain and the newly established
    Portuguese operation.

    Maurizio Ferrario, currently Head of Strategic Development for ACE
    Italy, assumes the role of Deputy Country Manager and he will also
    manage ACE's Italian operations until a new Country Manager is
    appointed. Angel Diaz, currently Property and Casualty Manager for ACE
    Spain, will become Country Manager for the Iberia region

    Commenting on the changes, David Furby, President for Continental
    Europe, said, "Jeff brings a wealth of experience to his new role for
    ACE France, which is our single largest market in Continental Europe.
    In recent years ACE has enjoyed tremendous success in the French
    Market and I am confident that under Jeff's leadership, ACE France
    will continue to build on this success.

    "Maurizio Ferrario, who has been with ACE Italy since 2003, has
    been a key figure in the successful establishment of our new branch
    network and distribution platform in Italy. In his new position he
    will ensure the management transition is as smooth as possible.

    "I am also delighted to announce the promotion of Angel Diaz to
    Country Manager for both Spain and Portugal. Our Portuguese operation
    opened earlier this year and is one part of our strategy to expand our
    geographical presence throughout the European region.

    "Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Olivier
    Muraire for his contribution to ACE France, under whose leadership,
    the French team has achieved excellent results and business growth."
