Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On July 12, 2011, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited completed the previously
announced acquisition of Clarendon National Insurance Company (“Clarendon National”) from Clarendon
Insurance Group, Inc., an affiliate of Hannover Re. Clarendon National is a New Jersey-domiciled
insurer that is in run-off. Clarendon National owns three other insurers, two domiciled in New
Jersey and one domiciled in Florida, that are also in run-off. Clarendon National and its
subsidiaries reported combined total assets of $2,102.6 million and combined total liabilities of
$1,845.8 million in their statutory financial statements as of March 31, 2011.
The purchase price paid was $219.1 million and was financed in part by borrowing $106.5
million under a four-year term loan facility with a London-based bank. The balance of the purchase
price was funded from available cash on hand.
