SIRVA Developing Plans to Address TransGuard Rating

CHICAGO, May 3, 2005 — SIRVA, Inc., (NYSE: SIR), a global relocation services provider and parent of TransGuard Insurance Co. of America, Inc., is providing an update in connection with last week’s rating action by A.M. Best Co. relating to TransGuard, the company’s insurance subsidiary. A.M. Best changed its rating of TransGuard from A- (Excellent) to B++ (Very Good).

The company is currently taking steps to minimize the potential impact of the rating change on its business, such as a loss of premium volume, through a fronting or cut-through arrangement with an “A”-rated insurer, which include various credit enhancement alternatives. While such programs distribute a portion of the written premium to the provider, they will insure uninterrupted coverage on an “A”-rated basis for our client base. The company continues to explore strategic alternatives for its insurance business.

More information about SIRVA can be found on the company’s Web site at www.sirva.com.
