Loss Portfolio Transfer - U.S.

On November 9, 2022, the U.S. Loss Portfolio Transaction with Enstar covering a majority of the Company’s U.S. casualty insurance reserves, including construction, for accident years 2011 to 2019 closed.

The estimated subject reserves transferred to Enstar on the closing date were $509.0 million, which represents the $746.0 million in loss reserves as of January 1, 2022, less estimated claims paid through October 31, 2022. On the closing date, the Company also transferred approximately $630.0 million of cash and investments to Enstar for which a portion will be deposited into a Trust established to secure Enstar’s claim payment obligation to the Company. The financial statement impact of this transaction, which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022, is a $509.0 million increase in Reinsurance recoverables, a reduction of $630.0 million in cash and investments, and an after-tax charge of approximately $100.0 million.
