2015
Nationale Suisse Assurance S.A.
On November 13, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Nationale Suisse Assurance S.A. ("NSA"). We changed the name of NSA to Alpha Insurance SA ("Alpha") at closing and placed the company into run-off. Alpha is a Belgium-based composite insurance company that wrote both non-life and life insurance that we are now operating as part of our non-life run-off and life and annuities businesses, respectively.  
The total consideration for the transaction was €32.8 million (approximately $35.2 million).

We have not completed the process of determining the fair value of the liabilities acquired in this acquisition. The valuation will be completed within the measurement period, which cannot exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. As a result, the fair value recorded is a provisional estimate and may be subject to adjustment. Once completed, any adjustments resulting from the valuations may impact the individual amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

From the date of acquisition to December 31, 2015, we earned premiums of nil, recorded net incurred losses and LAE of nil on those earned premiums, and recorded $0.1 million in net losses attributable to Enstar Group Limited related to Alpha’s business.
Wilton Re
On May 5, 2015, we completed the acquisition of certain subsidiaries from Wilton Re Limited ("Wilton Re"), which hold interests in life insurance policies. These interests were acquired by Wilton Re in the secondary and tertiary markets and through collateralized lending transactions.
The total consideration for the transaction was $173.1 million, payable in two installments. The first installment of $89.1 million was paid on closing. The second installment of $83.9 million, due on the first anniversary of closing, is expected to be funded from cash on hand. The companies are operating as part of the Life and Annuities segment.

From the date of acquisition to December 31, 2015, we recorded $16.5 million in net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited related to the life settlement contract business.
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"), together with management of Wilton Re, owns 100% of the common stock of Wilton Re. Subsequent to the closing of our transaction with Wilton Re, CPPIB separately acquired certain of our voting and non-voting ordinary shares pursuant to the CPPIB-First Reserve Transaction, as described in "Note 19 - Related Party Transactions."
Sussex Insurance Company (formerly known as Companion)
On January 27, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company ("Companion") from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of South Carolina, an independent licensee of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. Companion is a South Carolina based insurance group with property, casualty, specialty and workers' compensation business, and has also provided fronting and third-party administrative services. We changed the name of Companion to Sussex Insurance Company ("Sussex") following the acquisition, and the company is operating as part of the Non-life Run-off segment. In addition, StarStone is renewing certain business from Sussex.
The total consideration for the transaction was $218.0 million, which was financed 50% through borrowings under a Term Facility Agreement with two financial institutions (the "Sussex Facility") and 50% from cash on hand.

2014
StarStone Insurance Bermuda Limited (formerly named Torus Insurance Holdings Limited)
On April 1, 2014, we, together with Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P., which are managed by Stone Point Capital LLC (collectively, "Trident"), completed the acquisition of Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, which we later renamed as StarStone Insurance Bermuda Limited ("StarStone"). StarStone is an A- rated global specialty insurer with six wholly-owned insurance vehicles, including Lloyd’s Syndicate 1301. At closing, StarStone became directly owned by Bayshore Holdings Ltd. ("Bayshore"), which was 60% owned by Kenmare Holdings Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and 40% owned by Trident. We subsequently renamed Bayshore as StarStone Specialty Holdings Limited ("StarStone Holdings").
The purchase price for StarStone was established in the amended and restated amalgamation agreement as $646.0 million, to be paid partly in cash and partly in our stock. The number of our shares to be issued was fixed at the signing of the amalgamation agreement on July 8, 2013 and was determined by reference to an agreed-upon value per share of $132.448, which was the average closing price of our voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share (the "Voting Ordinary Shares"), over the 20 trading days prior to such signing date. On the day before closing of the amalgamation, the Voting Ordinary Shares had a closing price of $136.31 per share. At closing, we contributed cash of $41.6 million towards the purchase price and $3.6 million towards related transaction expenses, as well as 1,898,326 Voting Ordinary Shares and 714,015 shares of our Series B Convertible Participating Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Non-Voting Preferred Shares"). Based on a price of $136.31 per share, our contribution of cash and shares to the purchase price totaled $397.7 million in the aggregate. Trident contributed cash of $258.4 million towards the purchase price and $2.4 million towards related transaction expenses. Based on a price of $136.31 per share, the aggregate purchase price paid by us and Trident was $656.1 million.
As a shareholder of StarStone, FR XI Offshore AIV, L.P., First Reserve Fund XII, L.P., FR XII A Parallel Vehicle L.P. and FR Torus Co-Investment, L.P. (collectively, "First Reserve") received 1,501,211 Voting Ordinary Shares, 714,015 Non-Voting Preferred Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. Following the approval of our shareholders of an amendment to our bye-laws on June 10, 2014, First Reserve’s Non-Voting Preferred Shares converted on a share-for-share basis into 714,015 shares of newly created Series E Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares (the "Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares"). Corsair Specialty Investors, L.P. ("Corsair") received 397,115 Voting Ordinary Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. The remaining StarStone shareholders received all cash. Following the amalgamation, First Reserve owned approximately 9.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of our Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital (which it subsequently sold pursuant to the CPPIB-First Reserve Transaction, as described in Note 19 - "Related Party Transactions").
Upon the closing of the transaction, StarStone Holdings, Kenmare and Trident entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the "StarStone Holdings Shareholders’ Agreement"), which was subsequently amended, as described in "Changes in Ownership Interests relating to Holding Companies for our Active Underwriting Businesses" below.

The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of StarStone based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date. We recognized goodwill of $13.0 million, primarily attributable to StarStone’s assembled workforce. We also recognized indefinite lived intangible assets of $23.9 million and other definite lived intangible assets of $20.0 million.
Prior to acquisition, StarStone ceased underwriting certain lines of business in order to focus on core property, casualty and specialty lines. The results of the discontinued lines of business that were placed into run-off are included within our Non-life Run-off segment.

The net unearned premiums acquired included a decrease of $11.1 million to adjust net unearned premiums to fair value. This fair value adjustment is included within unearned premiums on the consolidated balance sheet. As at December 31, 2015, $10.6 million has been amortized to acquisition costs in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. As at December 31, 2015, the remaining balance of the fair value adjustment was $0.5 million, which will be amortized to acquisition costs in 2016.

The fair value of the Lloyd’s syndicate capacity was estimated using the multi-period excess-earnings method, a form of the income approach. Lloyd’s syndicate capacity represents StarStone’s authorized premium income limit to write insurance business in the Lloyd’s market. The capacity is renewed annually at no cost to us but may be freely purchased or sold, subject to Lloyd’s approval. The ability to write insurance business within the syndicate capacity is indefinite, with the premium income limit being set annually by StarStone, subject to Lloyd’s approval.
U.S. insurance licenses represent the intangible asset related to StarStone’s licenses and have been valued based on recent market transactions.
Technology represents the intangible asset related to StarStone’s capitalized software and has been valued on a replacement cost basis.
Brand represents the intangible asset related to the Torus name and was valued using the income approach. This was subsequently written off during 2015 when Torus was renamed as StarStone.

Changes in Ownership Interests relating to Holding Companies for our Active Underwriting Businesses
Corporate Holding Company Reorganization during 2015
On December 23, 2015, we completed a corporate reorganization of certain of our subsidiary holding companies. Following the reorganization, StarStone Holdings and Northshore are owned by a common parent, North Bay Holdings Limited ("North Bay"), as described in Note 14 - "Noncontrolling Interests".
Dowling Co-investments during 2014
On May 8, 2014, Dowling Capital Partners I, L.P. ("Dowling") purchased common shares of both StarStone Holdings and Northshore from Kenmare and Trident (on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective interests) for an aggregate amount of $15.4 million.
Prior to the sale of shares to Dowling, Kenmare and Trident owned 60% and 40% of StarStone Holdings and Northshore, respectively. Following the sale Kenmare, Trident and Dowling owned 59.0%, 39.3% and 1.7%, respectively, of StarStone Holdings and Northshore.
The shareholders’ agreements governing North Bay, StarStone Holdings and Northshore, among other things, provide that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the StarStone Holdings board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The shareholders’ agreements also include redemption rights and obligations which are described in Note 21 - "Commitments and Contingencies."
2013
Atrium
On November 25, 2013, Kenmare and Trident completed the acquisition of Atrium through Northshore.
The purchase price for Atrium was $158.0 million. Kenmare’s portion of the purchase price was $94.8 million, and was financed by borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
The purchase price and net assets acquired at fair value were as follows:
Purchase price
$
158,000

Net assets acquired at fair value
$
119,152

Excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired
$
38,848


The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of Atrium based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date. We recognized goodwill of $38.8 million, all of which was recorded within the Atrium segment and is attributable primarily to Atrium’s assembled workforce. We also recognized indefinite-lived intangible assets of $63.0 million and other definite lived intangible assets of $27.0 million.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

The net unearned premiums acquired included a decrease of $16.7 million to adjust net unearned premiums to fair value. This fair value adjustment is included within unearned premiums on the consolidated balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, $0.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively, was amortized to acquisition costs in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. As at December 31, 2015, there was no remaining fair value adjustment for net unearned premiums.

The fair value of the Lloyd’s syndicate capacity was estimated using the multi-period excess-earnings method. Lloyd’s syndicate capacity represents Atrium’s authorized premium income limit to write insurance business in the Lloyd’s market. Atrium’s proportionate share of Syndicate 609 (the syndicate through which it conducts its Lloyd’s operations) is approximately 25%. The capacity is renewed annually at no cost to us but may be freely purchased or sold, subject to Lloyd’s approval. The ability to write insurance business within the syndicate capacity is indefinite with the premium income limit being set annually by Atrium, subject to Lloyd’s approval.
Atrium provides underwriting, actuarial and support services to Syndicate 609 pursuant to a management contract. The fair value of the management contract was estimated using the income approach.
Distribution channels represent broker relationships and the network of insurance companies through which Atrium conducts its operations. The fair value of Atrium’s distribution channel was estimated using the income approach. Critical inputs into the valuation model for customer relationships and broker relationships include estimates of expected premium and attrition rates, and discounting at a weighted average cost of capital.
Brand represents the intangible asset related to the Atrium name and was valued using the income approach.
Arden
On September 9, 2013, Kenmare and Trident, completed the acquisition of Arden through Northshore.
The purchase price for Arden was $79.6 million. Kenmare’s portion of the purchase price was $47.8 million, and was financed by borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Pavonia
On March 31, 2013, we completed the acquisition of all of the shares of Household Life Insurance Company of Delaware ("HLIC DE") and HSBC Insurance Company of Delaware ("HSBC DE") from Household Insurance Group Holding Company, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc. HLIC DE and HSBC DE were both Delaware-domiciled insurers in run-off, and HLIC DE owned three other insurers domiciled in Michigan, New York, and Arizona, which were also in run-off (collectively, "the "Pavonia companies"). We subsequently restructured the acquired companies through internal mergers, following which we only have Pavonia companies domiciled in Michigan and New York. The aggregate cash purchase price was $155.6 million and was financed in part by a drawing of $55.7 million under our revolving credit facility. The Pavonia companies wrote various U.S. and Canadian life insurance, including credit life and disability insurance, term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and annuities.
The purchase price and fair value of the assets acquired in the Pavonia acquisition were as follows:

As of March 31, 2013, the date of acquisition of the Pavonia companies, all of the companies were either in run-off or, immediately following the acquisition, were placed into run-off, and accordingly are no longer writing any new policies. The Pavonia companies continue to collect premiums in relation to the unexpired policies assumed on acquisition.
SeaBright
On February 7, 2013, we completed the acquisition of SeaBright Holdings Inc. ("SeaBright"). SeaBright owns SeaBright Insurance Company, an Illinois-domiciled insurer that is commercially domiciled in California, which wrote direct workers’ compensation business. The aggregate cash purchase price paid by us for all equity securities of SeaBright was approximately $252.1 million, which was funded in part with $111.0 million borrowed under a four-year term loan facility which we have since repaid.
Immediately following the acquisition, SeaBright was placed into run-off, and accordingly is no longer writing new insurance policies. Since its acquisition, SeaBright had renewed expiring insurance policies when it was obligated to do so by regulators, but has received approvals from all states relieving it of this obligation to renew any further policies.
The purchase price and fair value of the assets acquired in the SeaBright acquisition were as follows:
