Earlier this month Admiral warned that it might see "a small proportion" of its profits put at risk under the government's plans to ban the payment of referral fees to insurers.
The warning came after the Ministry of Justice unveiled plans to tackle rising insurance costs by abolishing referral fees in a bid to curb "compensation culture".
The firm's share price has taken a dive in the last month, falling around 15% to the 1,280p mark.
Sussens, 65, was appointed to his position in 2004 and is also the chairman of the firm's renumeration committee.
