At the meeting various resolutions were adopted by which the
Directors (under certain necessary provisions) were empowered, on
application, to make arrangements by which the great body of the
members will be secured, after a fixed period, from any charge for
additional Premiums, in the event of their going beyond the limits
of Europe, or entering into military or naval service; and
generally to exempt their Policies from any ground of forfeiture
whatever, excepting fraud or intentional falsehood. The effect of
these alterations must be to enhance greatly the value of the
Policies as marketable securities; and the Directors feel
satisfied that they secure the Institution against any appreciable
risk, by providing that the exemption shall not in any case take
effect until after the lapse of five years from the date of the
policy.
Forms of proposal, prospectus, copies of the annual reports, and
every information will be forwarded free on application at the
office in London, 12. Moorgate Street.
