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.
GEORGE GRANT, Agent and Secretary for London.
