For the purposes of this subsection, 'renew' means the Issuance and delivery by an Insurer of a policy superseding at the end of the policy period a policy previously Issued and delivered by the same Insurer, or the Issuance and delivery of a certificate or notice extending the term of a policy beyond its policy period or term. Mailing of notice of intention not to renew to the named Insured at his address last of record with the insurer shall be by certified mail."
