Enstar wraps up LPT with ProSight Global

Bermuda-based re/insurer  Enstar Group has completed a transaction with  ProSight Global via one of its wholly owned subsidiaries to provide reinsurance relating to 2019 and prior year business.

The reinsurance comprises a ground up loss portfolio transfer of ProSight’s discontinued workers’ compensation and excess workers’ compensation lines. It also includes adverse development cover on ProSight’s diversified mix of general liability classes of business.

Enstar’s subsidiary assumed net loss reserves of approximately $500 million and will provide an additional aggregate limit of $250 million.

Completion of the transaction followed receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various other closing conditions, including the simultaneous closing of ProSight’s merger with affiliates of investment management firm TowerBrook and private equity firm Further Global.

Dominic Silvester (pictured), Enstar’s chief executive officer, said: “ Enstar’s partnership with ProSight underlines the increasing versatility of legacy risk solutions as a source of value creation for insurers seeking to accelerate their growth in an attractive underwriting environment. This reinsurance opportunity is aligned with our core competencies, allowing us to provide ProSight with a solution for repositioning its capital as part of its broader strategic transaction with TowerBrook and Further Global.”
