TWG Acquisition
On May 31, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of TWG Holdings Limited (“TWG”) and its subsidiaries for a total enterprise value of $2.47 billion. This amount included $894.9 million in cash, the repayment of TWG’s $595.9 million pre-existing debt and $975.5 million in newly-issued Assurant, Inc. common stock. As a result, the equityholders of TWG, including TPG Capital, received a total of 10,399,862 shares of Assurant, Inc. common stock. TWG specializes in the underwriting, administration and marketing of service contracts on a wide variety of consumer goods, including automobiles, consumer electronics and major home appliances. The acquisition will enhance the Company's position as a leading lifestyle provider, particularly within the Global Automotive business, with significant operating synergies expected and a deepened global footprint. The Company financed the cash consideration and repayment of TWG's pre-existing debt through a combination of available cash and external financing. Refer to Notes 12 and 15 for more information on the issuances of debt and mandatory convertible preferred stock, respectively, related to the financing of the acquisition.

Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
The fair values listed below are estimates and are subject to adjustment, including assessment of the value of business
acquired ("VOBA") and other intangible assets, as well as certain components of deferred tax liabilities included within accounts payable and other liabilities. The initial accounting included certain provisional amounts recorded as of June 30, 2018 (the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurred). In the third quarter 2018, the Company made adjustments to the provisional amounts to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Such adjustments impacted certain identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in a net increase to identifiable net assets acquired and a corresponding decrease in goodwill of $55.8 million. The adjustments to income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the revisions had been completed as of the Acquisition Date were immaterial. The Company may recognize additional measurement period adjustments to the provisional amounts in future periods until one year from the Acquisition Date.
