Eleftheriou had served as the company's CFO since September 2007. Scottish Re (Other OTC: SKRRF.PK) "continues to work diligently" on completing its financial statements for the third and fourth quarter of 2008, but "is unable to specify when it will be in a position to release such financial statements," it said in a statement. In March, Scottish Re announced it was lengthening to March 31, 2010 Eleftheriou's term of employment (BestWire, March 5, 2008). A regulatory order of supervision was issued earlier this month by the Delaware insurance commissioner on Scottish Re (U.S.) Inc. (BestWire Feb. 5, 2009).

In approving the permitted practice, the company and the Delaware insurance department agreed to the formal supervision of Scottish Re (U.S.) likely to remain in place as long as the permitted practice remained in place.
