             EXPLANATORY NOTE / DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

     The registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-129714) (the
"Registration Statement") of Scottish Re Group Limited (the "Company"),
pertaining to the registration of 1,750,000 shares of the Company's ordinary
shares, par value $0.01 per share, to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
relates, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on
November 15, 2005.


     As a result of the delisting of the Company's shares from the New York
Stock Exchange and the fact that there are less than 300 holders of record of
its shares as of December 31, 2007, the Company has no obligation to continue to
file, and does not plan to file, periodic reports with the SEC for any periods
after January 1, 2008. The Company filed with the SEC a Form 15 on May 13, 2008,
to terminate its duty to file reports under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with an undertaking
made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration,
by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering, the Company hereby amends the Registration
Statement to withdraw from registration the securities registered but unsold
under the Registration Statement.

registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city
of Charlotte, North Carolina on this 27th day of June, 2008.
