Finial Insurance Company was renamed Allied World Reinsurance Company, is currently licensed to write insurance and reinsurance in 49 states and the District of Columbia and is an accredited reinsurer in one state and has been used to launch the Company's reinsurance operations in the United States. This transaction closed on February 29, 2008 for a purchase price, which is the sum of $12,000, the Finial Insurance Company's policyholders' surplus of $47,082, an adjustment for the difference between the fair values of investments acquired under U.S. GAAP and statutory reporting of $300 and direct expenses of $387. The total purchase price of $59,769 was paid in cash. As a part of the acquisition, the Company recorded $12,000 of intangible assets with indefinite lives for the value of the insurance and reinsurance licenses acquired. The remaining assets and liabilities acquired were principally comprised of bonds, at fair value, of $31,690, cash of $15,330, other assets of $1,176, deferred tax liabilities of $4,344 and a reserve for losses and loss expenses of $104,914, of which 100% were recorded as "reinsurance recoverable" as the entire reserve for losses and loss expenses is ceded to National Indemnity Company, an affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. The Company also recognized goodwill of $3,917 related to this acquisition, which is included in "goodwill" in the consolidated balance sheets. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the effective date of the transaction. Pro forma information is not presented for the acquisition of Finial Insurance Company as its results of operations prior to the date of acquisition are not material to the Company. </div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-size: 1pt;"> </div> <table style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="3%"> </td> <td width="97%"> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><b><i><font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;" class="_mt">b)  </font></i></b> </td> <td><b><i><font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;" class="_mt">Darwin Professional Underwriters, Inc.</font></i></b> </td></tr></table> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt;"> </div> <div style="text-indent: 4%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; color: #000000; margin-left: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0%;" align="left">Allied World Bermuda entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") on June 27, 2008 with Allied World Merger Company, a newly formed Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and Darwin, a Delaware corporation. The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Darwin, with Darwin continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allied World Bermuda. Darwin is a holding company whose subsidiaries are engaged in the executive and professional liability insurance business with an emphasis on coverage for the healthcare industry. The transaction was completed on October 20, 2008 and has been accounted for as a purchase. Under the purchase method of accounting for a business combination, the assets and liabilities of Darwin were recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt;"> </div> <div style="text-indent: 4%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; color: #000000; margin-left: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0%;" align="left">Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, stockholders of Darwin received $32.00 in cash for each share of Darwin common stock in exchange for 100% of their interests in Darwin. Also, each outstanding Darwin stock option became fully vested and was converted into an amount in cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of $32.00 over the exercise price per share of the stock option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Darwin common stock subject to the stock option. In addition, each outstanding Darwin restricted share became fully vested and was converted into the right to receive $32.00 in cash per restricted share, and each outstanding director share unit was converted into the right to receive $32.00 in cash per share unit. The total cash consideration paid by the Company was $558,755, including direct costs of the acquisition of $8,478. There is no contingent consideration related to this acquisition. </div> <div style="text-indent: 4%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; color: #000000;
