FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE				Press Release

Crawford & Company Announces Change in Executive Management

at Garden City Group

ATLANTA (Dec. 8, 2015) – Crawford & Company^®, the world’s largest independent provider of claims management solutions to insurance companies and self-insured entities, today announced the expected departure of four members of the executive management team of its Garden City Group, LLC (GCG) operation. GCG is the recognized leader in legal administration for class action settlements, mass tort matters, bankruptcy cases and legal notice programs.

The members of GCG’s executive management team expected to leave are: CEO David Isaac; President Neil Zola; Senior EVP and General Counsel Karen Shaer; and EVP and COO Jennifer Keough. Each of these individuals has an employment contract with the Company, which expires by its terms on December 31, 2015. Until that date, the executives will continue to perform their roles for GCG. Crawford notified each of the four executives of the non-renewal of these employment contracts in August, 2015.

“I would like to thank each of them for their years of dedication and service to the Company,” said Harsha V. Agadi, Crawford interim president and CEO. “We attempted to negotiate an arrangement favorable to both parties for several months now but our efforts have been unsuccessful.”

Agadi went on to say, “Crawford remains committed to GCG and to continuing to deliver both innovative and quality services to its clients, and we do not foresee any disruption in service due to this anticipated change. I have complete confidence in the management team at GCG, who will maintain business as usual while we appoint a new executive management team.”
