Ocorian 2020. February 25. Bermuda is set to reap benefits from the merger of Estera Services (Bermuda) Ltd and Ocorian, which happened this month. That’s the view of Alison Dyer, managing director of Ocorian’s Bermuda office. There will be no impact on jobs at its office in Bermuda, which has a 74-strong team, and its operations are likely to strengthen and grow as a result of the merger. “At Estera and Ocorian people are our biggest asset. It’s really about maintaining a combined merged brand rather than try to amend it in any way,” Ms Dyer said. “Of course, in other jurisdictions there may be some rationalization if there are duplications, but not in Bermuda.” Estera was spun off from law firm Appleby in 2015, and from its office in Victoria Street is a corporate, funds and trust services provider across the region. It is now under the brand name of Ocorian. The merger of the two businesses created a corporate and fiduciary service and fund administration business with $260 billion of assets under administration. According to Ocorian, which has its roots in Jersey and strong links to the Middle East, Africa and beyond, the combined entity is the seventh-largest corporate, funds and trust player in the offshore world by revenue. Speaking about the significance of the larger global presence and scale, Ms Dyer said: “It gives us flexibility to use more jurisdictions. They [Ocorian] are in further jurisdictions than we are, so we grow from about 12 jurisdictions to 18. I’m particularly excited about Asia. Bringing private wealth money and services to Bermuda, through Bermuda, and the region.” She added: “The level of expansion is quite significant and also potentially doubles us in size. It gives us the opportunity to access people in other jurisdictions where Ocorian is, where we weren’t, and the other way round. It makes us one of the leaders in the CSP and Trust space in the offshore world.” Because there is no overlap with the Ocorian brand in Bermuda, there are no expected changes “on the ground”. The merger gives the Bermuda office access to services and other clients in strategically important locations, Ms Dyer said. When asked if the Bermuda operation could grow as a consequence, she said: “I do think so. Bermuda as a jurisdiction is very interesting. It’s a very mature jurisdiction, it is not growing like it was in the 2000s, and in the 1980s and prior to that. It’s growing in different ways. It’s not really growing from a structured account perspective. It is growing from an AUA perspective, so it is a very interesting jurisdiction to work with.” She added: “As far as growth here, yes, but I’m not sure it would necessarily generate structures, but it would definitely generate work services for us to be able to facilitate within the jurisdiction.” Estera has a track record for involvement in and support for community events, and that is set to continue as Ocorian. “Absolutely, we are fully committed to the jurisdiction,” Ms Dyer said. “One of the things that I am extremely passionate about is ensuring that we stay committed to Bermuda, and that we understand the jurisdiction — I am Bermudian. I feel that’s very important for us as a service provider and a sizeable employer of Bermudians on the island, that we maintain that and grow that.” She said the company is looking at going in to more schools and explaining what it does and why it offers a good career path. It is such an important cornerstone to the financial services industry in the jurisdiction,” she said. It is incredibly important that Ocorian stay connected with and supportive of the jurisdiction.”

2018. March 7. Ironshore Inc has expanded its partnership between Bermuda-based Iron-Starr Excess Agency Ltd with Oil Casualty Insurance Ltd to underwrite property lines. Iron-Starr has underwritten coverages on behalf of Ocil, a subscribing insurer for financial lines since 2016. In a statement, Ironshore said the broadened relationship with Ocil will enable Iron-Starr to deliver an increase in syndicated capacity for commercial property risks, including natural catastrophe perils, within the Bermuda market. Ian Smith, Ironshore senior vice-president and head of Bermuda Property, said: “Iron-Starr’s newest agreement with Ocil strengthens our capabilities for delivering greater capacity for commercial property lines, where we have seen growing demand in the Bermuda marketplace. We are pleased to incorporate property risk within Iron-Starr’s increasingly diverse product portfolio.” Ocil’s expanded relationship with Iron-Starr will focus on further building its presence in the direct & facultative property insurance sector. Iron-Starr is authorized to underwrite D&F insurance with limits separate and distinct from coverage offered directly by Ocil’s property team, led by Rolf Fischer. Jerry Rivers, chief operating officer of Bermudian-based Ocil, noted the longevity and strength of its relationship with both Ironshore and Iron-Starr. He said: “Our partnership allows us to tap into Ironshore’s underwriting expertise, technological efficiencies and production sources, thereby extending our goal to diversify the Ocil business portfolio.”

Insures over $3 trillion of global energy assets for more than 50 members with property limits up to $400 million totaling more than $19 billion in total A- rated property capacity. Members are medium to large sized public and private energy companies with at least $1 billion in physical property assets and an investment grade rating or equivalent.

2019. March 28. Bermuda-based mutual insurer Oil Insurance Ltd has reported a net loss for 2018 of $675.6 million. Oil recorded a $404.6 million underwriting loss. The net loss figure factors in net investment losses and administrative expenses. The year-end financials were reviewed and approved by shareholders at their annual general meeting in Bermuda. The company reported at the AGM that its board of directors had declared a dividend in an aggregate amount of $250 million to all shareholders on record as of January 1 payable on or before August 30. Theodore Guidry II, chairman of the board, said: “The board decided to authorize the $250 million dividend after carefully reviewing the company’s multiyear capital management plan. Despite the 2018 financial results, the plan clearly indicated that there was capital available to pay a dividend without negatively compromising the capital and financial strength of the company. As in the past, it is our policy to return available capital to the shareholders when prudent to do so.” Shareholders, the company said, have approved two changes to the shareholders agreement. The first decision protects the company from future potential credit losses, Oil said. Commencing in 2019, all shareholders must be investment grade if they wish to elect or continue to elect the retrospective premium plan that allows a shareholder to retroactively purchase up to 40 per cent of the $400 million limit on a strict dollar of premium for dollar of loss basis over the subsequent five-year period. The second decision, the company said, eliminates the need for shareholders to declare assets located in the offshore region of the Gulf of Mexico for purposes of determining pool percentages in the Offshore Designated Named Windstorm pool. This decision was warranted as a matter of equity, the company said, given that Oil excluded coverage for Offshore Gulf of Mexico Windstorm starting in 2018. Bertil C. Olsson, chief executive officer, said: “While 2018 turned out to be financially challenging, Oil is focused on creating long-term value and we continue to enjoy a strong commitment and belief in the system by our dedicated shareholder base. Including 2018, Oil has charged its shareholders $2.1 billion in premium over the last five years while returning $1.8 billion of dividends during that same period. While premiums did increase in 2019, the recently announced dividend will offset a significant amount of that increase for our members. Oil continues to operate from a position of strength and will continue to offer long-term value to the world’s leading energy companies.” George Hutchings, chief operating officer, said: “The most important accomplishments of 2018 were operational. Several strategic initiatives were completed including delivering on our promise to provide our shareholders with detailed data analytics at the AGM, further improvements to our offering for the renewable energy industry as well as Standard & Poors upgrading Oil by one notch to ‘A’, stable, in September 2018. We also continue to see strong interest from energy companies around the world and are pleased to announce that Braskem SA joined the mutual in December 2018 as our first South American member.” After the AGM adjourned, the board of directors met and elected Mr Guidry as chairman and Fabrizio Mastrantonio as deputy chairman for 2019. At the AGM, shareholders approved the reappointment of KPMG as auditors for the fiscal 2019 year.

Olympus Re Holdings

Olympus Re

2015. March 4. This company, one of the first true reinsurance sidecars, is being voluntarily wound up 14 years after it was created. The pioneering firm was set up in Bermuda in 2001. It was initially backed with $500 million in capital from investors that included Franklin Mutual Advisors, money managers Third Avenue, hedge fund Och-Ziff Capital Management, and some executives of White Mountains Insurance Group. Olympus Re was among the first of a flurry of new companies established on the Island to fill an insurance capacity gap created in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It had a quota-share agreement with member companies of White Mountains. Olympus Re took a near $100 million hit from insured losses incurred as a result of hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan in 2004. Worse followed in 2005 when losses resulting from hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma wiped out almost all of Olympus Re’s investments. The late John Byrne, the-then chairman of White Mountains, who had put some of his own money into the sidecar, said at the time: “We have been wiped out. It gives me no great pleasure to say that.” New investors were found. However, in 2006 further liabilities relating to losses from the previous year’s hurricanes threatened to finish off Olympus Re. To prevent the new investors being wiped out, White Mountains agreed to reimburse nearly $140 million of claims. Olympus Re proved to be a lesson in the dangers sidecar financial structures faced when their solvency was compromised by heavy losses from multiple disasters. Mr Byrne, in a conference call in the summer of 2006, said of the sidecar enterprises that Olympus Re had pioneered: “The theory is still sound, but it’s been a sorry chapter.” Olympus Re suffered ratings’ downgrades as a result of the 2005 losses. On February 23 this year a general meeting of members of Olympus Re Holdings resolved that the company be wound up voluntarily. John McKenna has been appointed as the liquidator.

   
Omega One 2019. March 27. Omega Dark will become Bermuda’s first licensed cryptocurrency exchange. David Burt, the Premier, announced this month in the House of Assembly, that the exchange’s parent company, Omega One was to receive its digital asset business licence. The company has since become the first to be listed in this category by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Omega Dark will be “the first regulated, fully independent, and institutionally focused dark pool in the digital asset marketplace”, according to a release from the company. The dark pool is the description given to a private area of the trading marketplace where institutions can trade large blocks of assets privately, without having the large impact on prices that such a trade could have on public exchanges. The name “dark pool” comes from the lack of transparency of these private areas of the financial market. Omega said in a statement: “The advent of an institutional-grade dark pool in digital assets could be a game-changer for existing cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, while setting the stage for the transformation of stocks, bonds and real estate into digital assets.” Omega Dark is accepting applications to its early access programme and has been partnering with liquidity providers, hedge funds, trading desks, execution platforms, exchanges, and market makers who are trading a minimum of $10 million in monthly volume, starting with the bitcoin to US dollar spot market. The statement did not mention the location of any offices or staffing plans. Last year, the New York-based company pledged to open an office on the island and hire at least 20 Bermudians over a three-year period in a memorandum of understanding signed with the Bermuda Government. Omega One’s team is led by Alex Gordon-Brander, who designed a bond trading platform at MarketAxess and a platform for foreign currency exchange trading by hedge funds at Bridgewater Associates. The company’s regulatory team includes Bart Chilton, former commissioner of the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission and Jeff Abramczyk, former chief regulatory officer at Pershing. The company said Omega Dark would open the digital asset markets to “an entire new class of participants. Dark pools matter so much for crypto because they act as a central warehouse for liquidity, and connect the broad array of fragmented exchanges and over-the-counter desks across the globe into a single hub,” Mr Gordon-Brander said. "In turn, Omega Dark allows participants to cheaply and discreetly balance liquidity against each other and against market makers and hedge funds, creating a win-win for everyone. We believe our platform brings dark pools into the light by leveraging the blockchain to prevent unfair activity and market manipulation. We’re very proud to have worked so closely with the Bermuda Monetary Authority — the first in our multi-jurisdiction regulatory strategy — to create a trading venue that can make the global crypto markets safe and efficient for everyone.” The company’s statement quoted David Burt as saying: “We are following the same strategy with digital assets as we did for reinsurance, and recognize that the best businesses need a high standard but progressive environment in which to thrive. “In crafting our regulations we paid particular attention to the need for the industry to maintain a very high standard of KYC/AML [know your customer/anti money-laundering] compliance as well as the need for high standards around cybersecurity and custody risks. Bermuda is not an easy jurisdiction to get into, and after more than a year of engaging with the Government and the Bermuda Monetary Authority, Omega One is the first company to cross that high bar.” Mr Chilton added: “When I was a CFTC commissioner, one of our primary concerns was ensuring a fair marketplace for all participants. Omega One has achieved this standard by offering transparent pricing of liquidity preference within a robust regulatory regime. This platform will give greater confidence to the markets, leading to more liquidity, less volatility, and better price discovery.”

2018. June 1. Omega One, a technology company, one of four to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Bermuda Government, has promised to donate 10 per cent of venture philanthropy to support “community sporting clubs in Bermuda”.

The company had capital expenditures of $8.1 million during the period compared with $14.4 million for the same period a year ago.

The company repaid $1.9 million in principal on its loan and had $11.9 million in cash at June 30 compared with $17.6 million in 2018. Long-term debt was $25.1 million at the end of the period. The company has declared a dividend of eight cents per share for shareholders of record on April 30. Frank Amaral, chief executive officer of One, said: “Much of our focus in Bermuda for the first six months of 2019 has been on launching our state of the art FibreWire TV platform and improving the customer experience around that service. As we finish up several network and service improvement projects that required significant capital, we are focused on growing free cash flow and bringing additional value to our customers and shareholders. We were delighted to provide our FibreWire internet customers with another speed boost during the period. We now offer our customers speeds of up to 300 Mbps, solidifying our world-class internet offering by putting our customers on par with global internet speed averages. In the business solutions area, we are now able to offer a full range of cloud, managed service and IT products that will complement our existing connectivity services. Targeted at both the enterprise and small business segments we intend to provide for the first time a broad solutions-based portfolio under a single provider. With respect to the company’s operations in the Cayman Islands, growth in the national economy continues to benefit us as we invest and expand our fibre footprint on the island with more than 70 per cent of homes passed in Grand Cayman. Our products and brand continue to be well received with market leading customer satisfaction scores, and continued subscriber count growth and penetration rates.”

2019. March 26. Bermuda-based holding company One Communications Ltd has reported net income for 2018 of $15.1 million, an increase of $100,000 over its 2017 results. In an earnings statement released today by the Bermuda Stock Exchange, the diversified telecommunications outfit reported that consolidated revenue for 2018 was $128.9 million, up from $127 million in 2017. That figure includes $105.4 million in Bermuda revenues and $28.4 million attributed to the company’s operations in the Cayman Islands. Total operating expenses for 2018 were $112.4 million, compared to $111.3 million the year before, the company said. The company’s total assets increased during 2018 to $205.6 million, up from $198.3 million a year earlier, including $14.9 million in cash holdings. Shareholders’ equity climbed to $150.2 million from $136.4 million a year earlier. During the year, the company repurchased 712,599 shares under an approved share buyback programme at an average price of $2.99 per share. The company said it declared and paid $1.7 million in dividends in 2018. No dividends were paid in 2017. Earnings per share for continuing operations for 2018 were 36 cents per share, the same figure as in 2017. One said it made $28.3 million in capital investments during 2018. During 2018, the company said, it made $3.75 million in principal repayments in relation to a long-term debt agreement. On May 22, 2017, the agreement was amended to increase the facility to $37.5 million and increase the limit of its overdraft from $5 million to $10 million. This facility, the company said, is scheduled to mature on May 22, 2022. The company had no overdraft at the close of 2018, it said. Of its Bermuda operations, the company said: “Management and the board of directors have spent the past year working hard on delivering our FibreWire internet and transformative FibreWire TV products, which have already and will continue to improve customer satisfaction. We continue to realize synergies from the consolidation of prior acquisitions, with an improvement in margin over prior year reflected in current year results. On the wireless side, our high speed 4G LTE network covers over 99 per cent of the country. We have been able to maintain network integrity and performance even as data usage continues to dramatically increase. We have now launched our single bill initiative, providing customers the optional convenience of receiving a single bill for all of their services. We have also implemented a new scheduling system for home service calls that will improve customer experience and drive added efficiency.” Speaking of its Cayman operations, the company said: “We continue to benefit from growth in the national economy. To further leverage our investments, we continue to expand our fibre footprint on the island, offering customers advanced internet, IPTV, and corporate data products. In 2018, our incremental investment of $6 million in the fibre network increased homes passed from 60 per cent to 67 per cent during the year, and the operating results demonstrated corresponding growth in both subscribers and revenue.”

Operational Re From 2016 Credit Suisse Group AG, the global investment bank has used this special purpose insurer, licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority with its address listed as that of ILS specialist Horseshoe Group. as a vehicle for an innovative bond that would offload risk from events including rogue trading and cyber crime. The bond was reportedly similar to a catastrophe bond which insurers use to limit their exposures to natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes, but it covers different risks.The bond backs up an operational risk insurance policy provided by insurer Zurich, with Zurich retaining 10 per cent of the risk and the remainder being borne by investors in the ILS. The bond illustrates how the ILS market is broadening in the type of risks it is covering. This has implications for Bermuda’s traditional reinsurers who have already lost a large portion of catastrophe reinsurance market share to alternative capital in recent years.

Overstock 2019. August 27. The head of this company that pledged to create fintech jobs in Bermuda stepped down after bizarre comments in a series of media interviews. Patrick Byrne, founder and CEO of Overstock.com, resigned on Thursday after he told several news outlets he had been an FBI operative and helped the agency commit “political espionage”. He also claimed the agency had instructed him to pursue a relationship with Russian spy Maria Butina. Mr Byrne made headlines on the island in April last year when he signed a memorandum of understanding with Bermuda to create jobs and educational opportunities for Bermudians through Medici Ventures, an Overstock.com subsidiary formed to incubate, launch and invest in blockchain. A government spokesman said the company would make Bermuda its “laboratory” for blockchain investments and would create at least 30 jobs in three years.

Partner Re HQ Bermuda

8/24/1993. Wellesley House South, Pitts Bay Road. 

2020. May 14. A deal to sell a Bermuda-based reinsurer to a French mutual insurance group has been called off. A $9 billion cash agreement to sell PartnerRe to Paris-based Covéa was reached in March, but the French firm said that due to the “significant uncertainties threatening the global economic outlook” it would not go ahead with the purchase of the firm from Exor. Exor, an Italian investment firm controlled by the Agnelli family of Fiat fame, bought PartnerRe in 2016. It said it would retain ownership of the business and that PartnerRe was not expected to be significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Covéa said: “In light of the current unprecedented conditions and significant uncertainties threatening the global economic outlook, Covéa has indicated to Exor that the context does not allow the contemplated acquisition of PartnerRe to be carried out on the terms initially envisaged.” Exor said its chairman John Elkann and board of directors had acknowledged Covéa’s notice that it would not honour its commitment to acquire PartnerRe in line with the memorandum of understanding announced on March 3. The Italian firm added that the board recognised “the positive outlook for PartnerRe, which enjoys one of the highest capital and liquidity ratios in the global reinsurance industry and is not expected to be significantly affected by the Covid-19 outbreak”. Exor said that the board had underlined its belief that a sale of PartnerRe on terms inferior to those established in the MOU failed to reflect the value of the company. A statement from Exor added: “In attempting to renegotiate the agreed deal terms, Covéa has never suggested the existence of a material adverse change, including pandemic risk, or any other issues at PartnerRe that would explain its refusal to honour its commitments under the MOU and Exor believes that no such basis exists.”

2020. March 5. PartnerRe is to be sold to French insurer Covéa for about $9 billion in cash. The Bermudian reinsurer’s parent company Exor signed a memorandum of understanding to sell its 100 per cent stake in PartnerRe to Covéa. The agreement will become binding after it receives approval from workers’ councils, according to a statement. PartnerRe will also pay a $50 million cash dividend before the closing of the deal. John Elkann, the chairman of Exor, said: “We have now been presented with an outstanding chance for PartnerRe to further strengthen its competitive advantage while providing important new opportunities for its people under Covéa’s ownership.” The acquisition requires approval by regulators and is expected to be completed by the end of this year. It would be the biggest deal in the industry since Axa bought XL Group, another Bermudian-based company, for $15.3 billion two years ago. Exor said its aggregate cash return on its PartnerRe investment had been about $3 billion. Since 2016, PartnerRe has paid a total of $661 million in dividends to Exor and has grown its book value by $510 million to $6.57 billion. Exor said: “This was achieved notwithstanding 2017 and 2018 being among the most challenging years for the reinsurance industry.” The reinsurance industry has evolved in recent years, Exor said, adding: “Specifically, scale is becoming increasingly important for reinsurers as their primary insurance clients consolidate and then seek counterparties with greater capital strength when reinsuring their risks. Following the acquisition by Covéa, PartnerRe will enter the top tier of reinsurers worldwide also by balance sheet size.” Exor, the investment vehicle of the billionaire Agnelli family, bought PartnerRe in 2016 for $6.72 billion. The deal was done after Exor won a hostile takeover battle for PartnerRe in 2015, breaking up a merger agreement between the reinsurer and Bermudian re/insurer Axis Capital Holdings Ltd. Emmanuel Clarke, CEO of PartnerRe said: “Over the past four years, under Exor’s ownership, we have strengthened PartnerRe’s position as a global, diversified reinsurer, thanks to a continuous focus on enhancing our client and broker franchise, our underwriting and investments portfolios and our operational efficiency. And I’m confident we are in a very good position to further evolve under our new ownership.”

2020. February 9. Discussions about the possible sale of PartnerRe have been confirmed by the company that owns the Bermuda-based reinsurer. Exor, the Italian investment firm controlled by the Agnelli family that paid about $6.9 billion for PartnerRe in 2016, in a statement said: “Exor confirms that it has entered into exclusive discussions with Covéa regarding a possible all-cash acquisition of PartnerRe. These discussions are ongoing and there is no certainty that they will result in a transaction. Exor will refrain from further comment until the final outcome of the discussions is known.” Covéa is a French insurance company. Last week, The Insurance Insider cited an unnamed London banking source in its report of discussions about the possible sale of the reinsurer. On Friday, The Royal Gazette contacted PartnerRe, which has offices on Pitts Bay Road, and was told it does not comment on speculation in the press. We also contacted Exor to inquire about the matter. The discussions with Covéa were confirmed by Exor in its statement, which was released today. According to a Reuters report a source “familiar with the matter” said the deal could be worth about $9 billion.

2020. February 7. PartnerRe may be up for sale, according to a report that cites a London banking source. The Bermuda-based reinsurer was bought four years ago by Exor, the Italian investment firm controlled by the Agnelli family. Exor paid around $6.9 billion to buy the company, which has offices on Pitts Bay Road. In a report by The Insurance Insider, French company Covea is said to be a possible buyer of the business, according to an unnamed banking source. In response to an enquiry about the article, PartnerRe told The Royal Gazette it does not comment on speculation in the press. Exor has also been contacted about the report, and the Royal Gazette is awaiting a response.

Pembroke Managing Agency 2019. November 19. Bermuda-based re/insurer Hamilton Insurance Group Ltd has announced that it is placing Acappella Syndicate 2014 into run-off. Acappella is a third-party-capital-supported Lloyd’s syndicate included in Hamilton’s recent acquisition of Pembroke Managing Agency Ltd, now renamed Hamilton Insurance UK Ltd. Acappella will cease writing business with immediate effect, Hamilton said. Pina Albo, chief executive officer of Hamilton, said: “As we completed the capital raising process at Lloyd’s, we concluded that Acappella was unlikely to produce an adequate return on capital. As conscientious stewards of both our and third-party investors’ capital, and with our focus on underwriting profitability, it was determined that the best course of action would be to discontinue the business.” Ms Albo said she anticipated the continued smooth handling of policyholder obligations and, in that regard, Acappella policyholders will find contact information on Hamilton’s website at hamiltongroup.com/london/syndicate-2014/. She said the company was in discussions with employees who are impacted by the decision.

Polaris Holding Company Bermudian company that runs Stevedoring Services. In April 2015 it brought in equipment at Dockyard for team Oracle and its America's Cup challenge. It had been over 20 years since Stevedoring Services has done any work anywhere other than the Hamilton docks.

2019. November 15. Polaris Holding Company Ltd reported a halving of its six-month profit to $493,000, or 40 cents per share, at the end of September. The company is the parent of Stevedoring Services Ltd, and also East End Asphalt, which it acquired in March. For the same six-month period last year, Polaris made a profit of $1.01 million, or 82 cents per share. In a statement, the company said: “On March 14, Polaris acquired a faltering East End Asphalt Company Ltd and over the past six months has rehabilitated the asphalt manufacturing and paving company, returning the business to its former glory as the island’s leading paving operator. “For East End Asphalt, the past two quarters have seen major capital investment and staffing realignment, driven by Polaris’ CEO Warren Jones, in a repeat of the skilful turnaround of Stevedoring Services’ fortunes when he was hired by the group in October 2013.” It said Travis Gilbert was appointed general manager of East End Asphalt last month, “with the asphalt company persuasively marketing to businesses and residential customers through a strategic pricing campaign and improved level of quality and care”. The company said its core business, Stevedoring Services, continues to benefit “from million-dollar heavy equipment purchases, telecommunication changes, training, and technological innovations introduced over the past few years, shifts which have transformed the business, as lauded by importers, the freight lines, customers, and its union and staff”. It added: “With 53 years of service under its belt, Stevedoring Services has never been in a better place. At the end of quarter two, Stevedoring Services was invited by the Corporation of Hamilton, through a request for proposal process, to tender for the continued facilitation of the Port of Hamilton’s Cargo Dock Area. A positive, progressive, Bermuda company, Polaris looks forward to March 2020 when the concessionaire will be announced. Stevedoring Services seeks to continue its planned evolution as it services the Bermuda public.” Polaris also wholly owns and operates Mill Reach Holding Company Ltd, which holds real estate located at Mill Reach Lane, Pembroke, and Equipment Sales and Rentals Ltd, which owns and leases heavy operating machinery and equipment to Stevedoring Services Ltd.

2019. August 27. Polaris Holding Company Ltd, parent of Stevedoring Services Ltd and recently-acquired East End Asphalt Company Ltd, has reported a net profit of $801,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. Operating profit was $1.07 million, the company said, before taking into account acquisition costs of $210,000 and start-up losses of $56,000 in relation to Polaris’ acquisition of EEA in March. This marked the fourth consecutive year of operating profits in excess of $1 million, the company said. After accounting for the EEA acquisition and start-up costs, Polaris reported a gain of 90 cents per share, with a return on equity of seven per cent. At the current 32 cents per share annual dividend distribution and based on Polaris’ most recent BSX price of $5.10, the company said, its dividend yield was 6.3 per cent. A company spokesman said: “Polaris has demonstrated once again that it is a steady pair of hands — true to its motto — ‘quietly powering Bermuda’. Without interruption or disruption, Polaris through its subsidiaries has ensured that the goods and products that are required by and for its community are delivered safely in a timely and efficient manner. With the recent acquisition of EEA, Polaris is primed for growth in another service industry where its proven management experience, coupled with the expertise of the EEA staff will ensure that entity to be another successful performer in the Polaris portfolio.” In addition to Stevedoring Services and EEA, Polaris owns and operates Mill Reach Holding Company Ltd, which holds real estate located at Mill Reach Lane, Pembroke and Equipment Sales and Rentals Ltd, which owns and leases heavy operating machinery and equipment to Stevedoring Services.

Formed to acquire and operate high-power geostationary satellites optimized for satellite television in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2008 launched a satellite it hopes will expand its footprint in the Asian telecommunications business. Has subsidiary operations in San Francisco and Singapore.

In early 2011 Kiskadee, a fellow Bermuda Company, sued two officers of ProtoStar Ltd for $18.25 million in compensatory damages, in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Kiskadee's complaint was lodged against California resident Philip Father and Maryland resident Eugene Cacciamani, who served as chairman and chief technology officer, respectively, of ProtoStar. Kiskadee had formed a joint venture with ProtoStar, aiming to utilise one of Bermuda's potentially lucrative satellite location slots, which were granted to Bermuda in 1983 by the United Nations and International Telecommunications Union. The complaint revealed Kiskadee was granted an exclusivity agreement on a satellite slot by the Bermuda Government. But after ProtoStar filed for bankruptcy and its joint venture with Kiskadee failed, Government terminated the exclusivity deal in June 2010. Kiskadee formed a joint venture with ProtoStar in October 2008 to implement Kiskadee's extremely valuable exclusive right to commercialize a satellite orbital location, positioned over the center of North America, that is controlled under international treaty and assignment by the Government of Bermuda. The joint venture entity, also incorporated in Bermuda and known as ProtoStar Kiskadee (Bermuda) Ltd., is 75 percent owned and controlled by ProtoStar. Mid-Ocean News revealed in 2005 that Kiskadee had started talks with Government over the Island's satellite slot in July 2001.

Purdue Pharma LP  

Oxycontin by a Bermuda-registered company.

2019. October 15. A Bermuda-based group of companies could play a pivotal role in the proposed settlement of opioid legislation in the United States involving OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma LP and its owners, the Sackler family. The outline of a proposed settlement that Purdue values at between $10 billion and $12 billion was filed in the US Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, NY last Tuesday. On Friday, US Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain ordered a pause to all litigation involving Purdue until November 6, giving the bankrupt drug maker time to conclude a deal with plaintiffs. The proposed settlement aims to resolve more than 2,600 lawsuits by states, local governments and other plaintiffs against Purdue and its Sackler family owners. Under the agreement, the Sackler family would give up control of Purdue, turning the company over to an entity that would run the company and use its profits for the public good. The money for the proposed settlement is to come jointly from Purdue, and from the Sackler family. In Bermuda, the Mundipharma group of companies, owned by members of the Sackler family, have offices on Par-la-Ville Road in Hamilton. Top US insurance litigators Dick Geddes and Christopher Carroll, of international law firm Kennedys, appeared at the Hot Topics forum organised by the Bermuda office of Kennedys on Thursday. Mr Geddes is a partner in the firm’s Chicago office, while Mr Carroll, also a partner, is based in New York. Together, they gave a presentation entitled “Opioid Crisis: Beginning of the End or End of the Beginning”? Afterwards, the two visiting lawyers agreed that the Mundipharma companies may have a part to play in the proposed settlement. Mr Geddes said: “The proposed settlement involves numbers that Purdue is casting as $10 billion to $12 billion. Ten billion will theoretically come from the continued sale of Purdue’s products under the newly-structured public benefit corporation.” He added: “The other chunk, about $3 billion, theoretically will come from the family that owns 100 per cent of the assets of the Purdue companies, and that is the Sacklers. The question is where that money will come from.” In filings with the US Court, Mr Geddes said, a company is identified as a non-US pharmaceutical company owned by the Sacklers. Mr Geddes said: “That is Mundipharma. It’s very possible that Mundipharma could play a role in the settlement.”

2019. September 13. For months, the judge overseeing national litigation over the opioids crisis urged all sides to reach a settlement that could end thousands of lawsuits filed by state and local governments. But the chaotic developments this week in the case against Bermuda-registered OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, which also has other Bermuda links, underscore how difficult that goal is. By yesterday, half of America’s state attorneys-general said they would reject a tentative deal crafted by the other half, and many criticized the terms as grossly insufficient. Purdue and the Sackler family that owns it “will never be able to undo all the damage they have done”, Virginia Attorney-General Mark Herring, a Democrat, said in a statement, “but at the very least, they must face real, significant, personal accountability for their lies and for the pain and heartbreak they have caused”. Herring and other attorneys-general opposed to the terms say the amount of money involved will be far less than the $10 billion to $12 billion promised by Purdue and the Sacklers. They want the family to pay more from their vast fortune, much of which has been shifted overseas, and say the current settlement terms allow the relatives to walk away without acknowledging their role in a crisis that has killed 400,000 Americans over the past two decades. “This epidemic has affected everybody in our state,” Delaware Attorney-General Kathy Jennings, another Democrat, said yesterday in a statement. “Irrespective of Purdue’s actions or evasions, we will continue to pursue justice on behalf of those harmed by the Sacklers’s greed, callousness and fraud.” The failure to reach a wide-ranging settlement so far, as the Sacklers had hoped, means the legal battle over what their company must pay will probably shift to bankruptcy court. Questions about the family’s responsibility could play out at the same time in dozens of state courts. More than 20 states have filed separate cases against members of the family, and it’s not clear whether federal bankruptcy proceedings would halt those state cases. The company is expected to file for bankruptcy protection within days. Attorneys-general who say they agree with the terms said the deal is better than what their states and communities would likely receive if Purdue files for bankruptcy without any settlement language to guild the proceedings. “Sadly, this agreement cannot bring back those who have lost their lives to opioid abuse, but it will help Florida gain access to more life-saving resources and bolster our efforts to end this deadly epidemic,” Florida Attorney-General Ashley Moody, a Republican, said. “I want to assure Floridians that we will continue to aggressively pursue our state case against all remaining defendants.” Some attorneys-general — the group that had been leading the settlement talks with Purdue — have described the negotiations as ongoing and unsettled. Katie Byrd, a spokeswoman for Georgia Attorney-General Chris Carr, declined to comment yesterday about the state’s stance, but described the situation as “fluid”. Minnesota Attorney-General Keith Ellison said “widespread uncertainty” remains about the details of the settlement terms, including the size of the payments, how long they would be made and how Purdue and other Sackler-owned entities would be operated going forward. Under the proposed deal, the family would give up ownership of Purdue and pay $3 billion to $4.5 billion, depending on how much Purdue brings in from selling a company known as Mundipharma, which is registered in Bermuda. Several attorneys-general said they are skeptical that Mundipharma is worth that much, and they want more money guaranteed from the Sacklers. OxyContin is probably the best-known prescription opioid and was a blockbuster drug in terms of sales after it was introduced in 1996. In their lawsuits, the state and local governments say Purdue aggressively marketed the drug while downplaying its addictiveness. The developments related to Purdue and the Sackler family come just five weeks before the scheduled start of the first federal trial over the toll of the opioids crisis in the US. That trial involves claims by Ohio’s Cuyahoga and Summit counties against multiple opioid makers, distributors and pharmacies. If the company files for bankruptcy, the trial will go on without Purdue. Families who have lost loved ones to the crisis or have otherwise been hurt by opioid addiction have pushed back against settlements with Purdue and other players in the opioid industry. They want a chance to face company executives in court and tell their stories. In a statement, members of the Sackler family urged governments to sign on to the settlement terms, saying it will fund solutions to the crisis rather than continue “endless litigation”.

2019. September 11. NEW YORK — OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma LP, linked to Bermuda, reached a tentative agreement with some plaintiffs to resolve widespread litigation over its alleged role in fuelling the US opioid crisis and plans to tussle with states opposing its settlement offer in bankruptcy proceedings starting as soon as next week, people familiar with the matter said. On Wednesday, lead lawyers representing more than 2,000 cities, counties and other plaintiffs suing Purdue, along with 23 states and three US territories, were on board with an offer from the company and its controlling Sackler family to settle lawsuits in a deal valued at up to $12 billion, the people said. The Sacklers are reported to have extensive interests in Bermuda, while a variety of companies related to Stamford, Connecticut-based Purdue have had a presence on-island for up to three decades. More than a dozen other states remain opposed or uncommitted to the deal, setting the stage for a legal battle over Purdue’s efforts to contain the litigation in bankruptcy court, they said. States yesterday updated a federal judge on the settlement offer’s support, which could evolve as the day progresses, the people said. Purdue’s board is scheduled to be briefed on settlement progress today, one of the people said. There remained a chance negotiations could fall apart and the company’s plans, including timing of a bankruptcy filing, could change, the person said. The Sacklers, well-known wealthy philanthropists, have declined to revise their proposed settlement contribution of $3 billion over seven years and another $1.5 billion or more through the eventual sale of another business they own called Mundipharma, several people familiar with the matter said. The offices of Mundipharma Medical Company, and other companies carrying the Mundipharma prefix are located on Par-la-Ville Road in Hamilton. The network of companies was reportedly set up to do business outside North America. New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, where privately held Purdue is based, are among the states opposed to the current offer and have pushed the family to guarantee $4.5 billion, the people said. Last weekend, the Sacklers “refused to budge” after attorneys-general in North Carolina and Tennessee presented the family with counterproposals they said had widespread support from other states, according to correspondence reviewed by Reuters. The lawsuits, which in some cases targeted the Sacklers as well as Purdue, claim the family and company contributed to a public health crisis that claimed the lives of nearly 400,000 people between 1999 and 2017, according to the latest data from US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. The suits allege Purdue aggressively marketed prescription painkillers while misleading doctors and patients about their addiction and overdose risks. Purdue and the Sacklers have denied the allegations. With negotiations over the family’s contribution to a settlement at loggerheads, Purdue is preparing to file for bankruptcy protection as soon as this weekend or next with the outlines of a settlement in hand, albeit one lacking support from many states, the people said. Purdue would then ask a US bankruptcy judge to halt litigation while settlement discussions continue, a move some states said they are likely to challenge. A bankruptcy judge could force holdouts to accept a settlement as part of Purdue’s re-organization plan if enough other plaintiffs agree. “Purdue Pharma continues to work with all plaintiffs on reaching a comprehensive resolution to its opioid litigation that will deliver billions of dollars and vital opioid overdose rescue medicines to communities across the country impacted by the opioid crisis,” the company said in a statement. Members of the Sackler family targeted in lawsuits said in a statement that they support “working towards a global resolution that directs resources to the patients, families and communities across the country who are suffering and need assistance” as opposed to engaging in what they described as “endless litigation.” With Purdue facing more than 2,000 opioid-related lawsuits, Reuters reported in March that the company and the Sacklers began exploring bankruptcy options to halt litigation and attempt to reach a far-reaching settlement. One reason Purdue is eyeing a bankruptcy filing soon is to avoid an October 21 trial, the people said. That trial, stemming from widespread lawsuits consolidated in an Ohio federal court, risks a verdict with outsize damages Purdue could not withstand, one of the people said. Purdue’s current proposal envisions it using bankruptcy proceedings to transform into a public trust with a board selected by court-appointed trustees, the people said. The trust would donate drugs the company developed to combat overdoses and addiction to US communities, which Purdue values at $4.45 billion over ten years. The Sacklers, who amassed a multi-billion-dollar fortune from OxyContin sales, would cede control of Purdue, they said. A Chapter 11 filing with a deal many states oppose risks triggering more litigation and longer, more expensive bankruptcy proceedings that could reduce payouts to plaintiffs unless a broader deal is reached. “I remain steadfast in my view that the Sacklers have to give back the money they took from selling opioids so that we can put it towards solving the problem they created,” Connecticut Attorney-General William Tong said in a statement. “The current proposal does not do that.” The Sacklers have rebuffed requests from some plaintiffs for more details on the family’s finances, some of the people said. North Carolina Attorney-General Josh Stein said he was preparing to follow other state officials and sue the Sacklers. “A large number of states are committed to the notion that the Sacklers need to guarantee more money,” he said, adding that different states “have different views, as is to be expected”.

Qatar Insurance 2019. December 22. A combined ratio averaging above 100 per cent for a five-year period, and with a $318 million loan repayment on the horizon, AM Best has decided to revise its outlooks to negative for Qatar Insurance Company QSPC, and its Bermuda-based subsidiary Qatar Re. However, the rating agency has also affirmed the financial strength rating of A (excellent) and long-term issuer credit ratings of “a” of QIC and Qatar Re. The ratings reflect the “very strong” balance sheet strength of QIC, its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and enterprise risk management, AM Best said. Regarding the change of outlooks from stable to negative, the agency said it “largely reflects pressure on AM Best’s current operating performance assessment of strong due to underperformance emanating from the group’s non-Middle East insurance operations [QIC Global]”. It said QIC Global, which includes Qatar Re, has experienced “considerable staff turnover and a fluctuating business strategy, at the same time as pursuing aggressive growth in a soft market”. AM Best, in a statement, also said: “Results have been adversely impacted in recent years (2017 to 2019) by natural catastrophe losses and Ogden rate adjustments in the UK motor segment. As a consequence, the group has produced a five-year (2014-2018) average combined ratio of 101.2 per cent and AM Best’s expects the group to report a combined ratio in excess of 100 per cent to be reported for 2019.” The agency said the group has a QAR 1.1 billion ($316 million) “receivable due from the Markerstudy Group before May 2020. Whilst the group maintains sufficient capital to absorb a default on this loan, any impairment would represent a material loss to earnings”. AM Best said pressure on QIC’s underwriting earnings “highlight governance and underwriting control deficiencies in the group’s decision-making process”. It noted that QIC reported gross written premium of $3.4 billion in 2018, and increase of 8 per cent year-on-year. The growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of Markerstudy carriers which “offset material non-renewal of loss-making contracts in the group’s reinsurance platform”. AM Best said: “Going forward, the group plans to focus on low-volatility lines, with more than half of GWP emanating from motor insurance in the UK, Continental Europe and the Middle East.”

2019. April 30. The parent company of Bermuda-based Qatar Re has reported $75 million net profit for the first quarter, an increase of $10 million, year-on-year. Qatar Insurance Group’s earning per share were 21 cents, compared with 18 cents for the same period last year, while its gross written premiums remained stable at $969 million, down $7 million. The Qatar-based group’s non-life combined ratio improved to 100.2 per cent, from 101.6 per cent. Khalifa Abdulla Turki Al Subaey, group president and chief executive officer of QIC Group, said the first quarter was a period of stability and consolidation. He added: “As part of our de-risking effort, we have adopted a more selective approach to writing new business, rewarded by an improving technical performance. QIC remains firmly committed to shifting to lines of business with lower volatility where we see a more attractive risk-return potential. In addition to underwriting, QIC’s investment prowess and commitment to operating efficiency continue to bear fruit and are essential to sustaining the Group’s overall profitability. Based on the strength and diversity of our performance engines, I remain confident in QIC’s future growth and profitability prospects, which should further benefit from what appears to be a slightly firming global re/insurance trading environment.” QIC’s international carriers, which include Qatar Re, Antares, QIC Europe Limited and Gibraltar-based carriers, now account for 76 per cent of the group’s gross written premiums, an increase from 73 per cent a year ago. In a statement, the group said its first quarter profit was driven by improving underwriting results and resilient investment income. Last week, Qatar Re confirmed Michael van der Straaten as its new CEO. He succeeded Gunther Saacke, who announced in January that he was leaving the company

QuoVadis Since 1999. A cyber security firm founded in Bermuda which in 2014 expanded its operations into Germany. A global provider of certificate authority identity services for online transactions — has added Germany to existing offices in the UK, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium. The only certificate authority with accreditations in multiple EU jurisdictions to issue qualified digital certificates used in legally-valid online transactions. 

2019. January 18. QuoVadis, a technology company launched in Bermuda 20 years ago, has been sold to an American firm for $45 million. The proposed takeover by DigiCert was announced in November and yesterday the companies confirmed the deal had closed. DigiCert acquired QuoVadis from its previous owner, Swiss-based WiseKey International Holdings Ltd, which bought the Bermuda-born firm in 2017. Additional QuoVadis data centre assets remain subject to approval of the Regulatory Authority of Bermuda and are expected to transfer to DigiCert in the near future. Meanwhile, WiseKey will provide transition services to DigiCert for those assets. DigiCert is backed and majority-owned by US private-equity giant Thoma Bravo, which manages about $20 billion of investments. Thoma Bravo has led 60 total platform acquisitions in technology over the past 15 years, as well as an additional 125 add-on acquisitions, representing approximately $49 billion in value. QuoVadis was founded in Bermuda by Tony Nagel, Roman Brunner and Stephen Davidson, and was the first Authorized Certification Services Provider under Bermuda’s Electronic Transactions Act 1999, enabling legally valid digital signatures. The company was originally backed by eVentureCentre, a unit of Centre Solutions, later Zurich Financial Services. In 2003, QuoVadis underwent a management-led buyout, backed by KeyTech and US-based private equity firm ABRY Partners. The Bermuda-based company then expanded to Europe, first setting up operations in Switzerland, and later in the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, and Belgium. DigiCert is the world’s leading provider of Transfer Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer, “internet of things” and other Public Key Infrastructure solutions. Under its new ownership, QuoVadis will continue as a European Union and Swiss Trust Service Provider, specializing in qualified digital certificates and related services for Europe, as well as enterprise-managed PKI services. The acquisition aligns with DigiCert’s vision of providing the world’s most globally dispersed and robust PKI-based solutions with local support. “We are excited to welcome the QuoVadis team and technology to DigiCert, as we look to continue to serve our partners and customers with industry-leading solutions,” said DigiCert chief executive John Merrill. “The European market, like many parts of the world, has specific country and regional needs that can best be served with locally based teams and technology. The QuoVadis acquisition supports our commitment to Europe, combining our technology innovation with on-the-ground experts in the region.” With the acquisition, QuoVadis Qualified digital certificates will be backed by DigiCert. QuoVadis qualified digital certificates comply with eIDAS, the EU’s regulation on trust services for electronic transactions in the European single market, and may be used across borders of EU member states and in Switzerland. QuoVadis services include the following:

  • Qualified certificates for website authentication
  • Qualified personal certificates
  • Qualified electronic time stamps
  • Qualified electronic signatures and seals, including software and cloud signing options

Under eIDAS, qualified trust services provide legal certainty and increased security of electronic transactions. Beginning in June, the EU Payment Services Directive 2015/2366 will require banking and financial services companies doing business in the EU to use qualified website certificates for stronger identity assurance. Through the QuoVadis acquisition, DigiCert will be able to provide these certificates to help organisations to comply with the Payment Services Directive. DigiCert will also support QuoVadis’s plans to expand its technology footprint with an emphasis on migrating PKI services to data centres in the Netherlands and Switzerland to provide customers with enhanced privacy and data protection services. QuoVadis’s trust centre operations are compliant with international standards and have received numerous accreditations, including WebTrust, ISO and country-specific approvals. Additionally, through QuoVadis, DigiCert will become a leader in data integrity management for electronic records, digital signature technology for banking and e-invoicing applications, as well as remote digital signature solutions to enable signatures from any device.

Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings (R&Q)  In 2017 Randall & Quilter acquired this company, the captive insurer of biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca UK Ltd. The insurance company was formed in 1993 and stopped active underwriting in 2004. R&Q, a Bermuda-based insurance services and investment company, announced the acquisition in December, and has confirmed that all necessary approvals were received to allow the completion of the transaction on June 30. Ken Randall, chief executive officer of R&Q, said: “This is the second transaction that we have concluded with AstraZeneca to assist them exiting their captive insurance companies in run-off and further demonstrates the attractions of the group’s offerings to major corporations.” The company will be managed by R&Q with the intention of undertaking a Part VII transfer of the remaining insurance business to one of the group’s consolidation vehicles, subject to regulatory and court approvals. When it announced the acquisition in December, R&Q said it expected the price to be between £10.2 million ($13.1 million) and £34.6 million ($44.7 million), depending on the outcome of capital restructuring, with the anticipated post-capital restructuring net assets to be valued between £12.9 million and £37.9 million.

2019. July 2. Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings Ltd has agreed a deal worth at least $25 million to purchase Bermuda-based reinsurer Sandell Re. London-listed R&Q, which is headquartered in Bermuda, said its subsidiary Randall & Quilter II Holdings Ltd had signed an agreement to acquire Sandell Holdings Ltd, parent company of Sandell Re, a Class 3A segregated account company that was incorporated in Bermuda in 2014 to write general business insurance and reinsurance. Legacy acquirer R&Q said residual liabilities comprise primarily of contractor’s liability exposures arising in the US. Sandell Re had net technical reserves of $48.3 million as at December 31, 2018. The deal is subject to approval by regulator the Bermuda Monetary Authority and cash consideration payable at closing by R&Q is $25 million, “with further amounts payable subject to certain conditions being met”. Sandell Re’s net assets were $40.8 million as of the end of last year. Sandell Holdings recorded a loss of $2.7 million last year. Ken Randall, executive chairman of R&Q, said: “This is another sizeable acquisition for R&Q following on from our recent completion of the Global Re deal. R&Q takes pride in providing finality for owners and we expect to announce a number of additional acquisitions during the rest of this year.”

Relm Insurance

2020. March 31. An insurer specialising in emerging business categories has been granted a license by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, the Premier has announced. Relm Insurance Ltd, led by chief executive officer Joe Ziolkowski and operations vice-president Keyla Roman, is owned by Deltec International Group, a Bahamas-headquartered independent financial services group, which is supplying Relm’s underwriting capacity. The company will service the insurance needs of business sectors that are new to the economy but are likely to become significant economic drivers over time, David Burt said. Mr Burt added: “I am pleased that Relm has chosen Bermuda for its digital asset insurance business. Insurance is one of the most sought-after services for digital assets and the choice of Bermuda as their domicile reaffirms our continued strong position in insurance and our developing position in Fintech.” The statement said that Relm will initially focus on digital asset enterprises and cannabis and hemp-related businesses. Their future plan is to offer insurance solutions to new sectors such as digital banking, the sharing and gig economy, autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence. The first five product areas that Relm will offer are:

  • Tailored Digital Asset Custody insurance programme for digital asset custodians and/or service providers that provide short-term digital asset custody.
  • Directors and officers’ liability for cannabis/hemp businesses and digital asset businesses, including a private company product with coverage for token issuances and alternative Side A solutions.
  • A miscellaneous professional liability cover that can be tailored to accommodate service providers and advisers in various capacities within both the digital asset and cannabis/hemp spaces.
  • Cyber cover for emerging business sectors.
  • Commercial crime for emerging business sectors.

Currently in development for the cannabis and hemp space are insurance products for living plant coverage and bailees’ exposure, the statement said. Mr Ziolkowski said: “Our focus is on providing insurance coverage to solid companies in emerging business sectors. We truly understand how challenging it can be to get affordable cover and great business support, which is why Relm’s proposition to the marketplace is so critical. Locally, we have enjoyed a productive relationship with the BMA over the previous 18 months and have worked closely with Marsh’s Bermuda office and Appleby Bermuda to ensure a solid foundation on which to build the business. We’re thrilled to be a disrupter in the insurance industry through our bespoke insurance solutions that support innovators in digital assets and the cannabis and hemp industries. The Bermuda Monetary Authority provides significant oversight for DABA licensees. These companies are required to go through a rigorous process to obtain their DABA license, and therefore the BMA indirectly becomes a part of our underwriting process.” Ty Sagalow, founding member of Lemonade Inc and independent non-executive director of Relm, said: “I am proud to be on the board of Relm as it steps up to offer relevant insurance products to emerging business sectors.” He added: “My experience with Lemonade has demonstrated just how ready the market is for new approaches to insurance, and I am confident that Relm’s focus on today’s emerging risks will ensure success for its brokers and insureds.”

The selling shareholder will receive all of the net proceeds from this offering. No shares are being sold by RenRe. The shares would be valued at about $333.9 million, based on the Bermudian reinsurer’s closing share price of $192.01 on Monday. RenRe acquired Tokio Millennium Re in a $1.5 billion cash-and-shares deal from the Japanese-based Tokio Marine Group in March last year. Morgan Stanley & Co LLC is acting as the sole underwriter for the offering. The underwriter may offer the shares from time to time in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares are being offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2019. July 24. Bermuda-based reinsurer RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd reported net income of $367.9 million and trounced the estimates of Wall Street analysts.

Kevin O’Donnell, chief executive officer of RenRe, said: “I am pleased with our performance in the second quarter, where we achieved annualized operating return on average common equity of 16.7 per cent and growth in tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends of 8.2 per cent. This strong performance was due to the diligent execution of our differentiated strategy, resulting in solid profits, material growth and improved operational efficiency. The portfolio of risks we have constructed is larger, more diverse and increasingly efficient, and poised to drive superior long-term returns for our shareholders.” The company reported an annualized return on average common equity of 28.9 per cent and an annualized operating return on average common equity of 16.7 per cent in the second quarter. Book value per common share increased $8.12, or 7.3 per cent, to $119.17 in the second quarter of 2019. Gross premiums written increased by $499.6 million, or 51.1 per cent, to $1.5 billion, in the second quarter of 2019, compared to the second quarter of 2018, driven by an increase of $286.6 million in the Property segment and an increase of $213.0 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment. Underwriting income of $170.8 million and a combined ratio of 81.3 per cent in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $226.6 million and 47.2 per cent, respectively, in the second quarter of 2018. Total investment result was a gain of $309.8 million in the second quarter of 2019, generating an annualized total investment return of 8 per cent, driven by net realised and unrealized gains on investments of $194 million, comprised of $143.3 million from fixed maturity investments and $50.7 million from equity investments and investments-related derivatives. RenRe said more than $700 million of capital was raised through the company’s third-party vehicles, including DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd, Upsilon RFO Re Ltd, Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd and RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. On March 22, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re AG, now known as RenaissanceRe Europe AG, Tokio Millennium Re (UK) Ltd, now known as RenaissanceRe (UK) Ltd and their subsidiaries.

2019. January 31. RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. recorded a net loss of $83.9 million, or $2.10 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter of 2018. That compared to a net loss a of $3.5 million, or nine cents, in the same quarter in 2017. Operating income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders was $1.2 million, or two cents per diluted common share. Kevin O’Donnell, president and chief executive officer, said: “In the quarter, we reported positive operating income, while rapidly paying claims to customers facing significant losses from Category 4 Hurricane Michael and a second consecutive year of record-breaking wildfires in California. “For the year, we outperformed on multiple metrics, posting a strong operating ROE, delivering robust top-line growth, and executing effectively on a number of key initiatives, including the formation of our latest innovative joint venture, Vermeer and our pending acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re. Looking ahead, at the recent January 1 renewal we laid the foundation for a successful 2019 and ongoing shareholder value creation.” The company reported an annualized return on average common equity of negative 7.8 per cent and an annualized operating return on average common equity of positive 0.1 per cent in the fourth quarter. Book value per common share decreased $1.08, or 1 per cent, to $104.13. Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends decreased 40 cents, or 0.4 per cent, to $117.17.

 Sagicor The holding company of Caribbean financial services giant Sagicor. The firm has discontinued as a Barbados company, where it has been based for 170 years, and redomiciled to Bermuda.

But Sagicor, which operates in 22 countries, including the Caribbean, the US and Latin America, said it would maintain its headquarters in Barbados and continue to be taxed there, although it will have an address and resident representative in Bermuda. Sagicor looked at several countries, including Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada, Trinidad & Tobago and Holland before deciding on Bermuda. Sophia Greaves, also part of the CDP team that advised on the redomicile, said: “It was a pleasure to advise Sagicor on this important transaction. We look forward to a long relationship with the group.”

Satellite Ventures (Bermuda) Bermuda has four orbital slots for satellites, one is occupied by the EchoStar VI satellite operated by this company, a joint venture of SES Satellites (Bermuda) Ltd, and EchoStar Ltd. The satellite operates on the BermudaSat-1 network at 96.2°WL, and its potential markets include commercial, leisure and government consumers. However, a US-imposed moratorium that has been in place since 2005 has prevented access to the highly valued US market by all new licensed satellite networks, including Bermuda’s. The EchoStar VI satellite was launched in 2000 and brought into service on the BermudaSat-1 network in 2013. In March of last year, in a report to Parliament, it was stated that no commercial agreements had yet been made for the satellite, although SES continued to be “optimistic about the commercial prospects of BermudaSat-1”. In December, Grant Gibbons, who at the time was the Minister of Economic Development, spoke about meetings he had with Nasa officials in Washington DC. The discussions included the issue of the moratorium and suggestions on how Bermuda might proceed. Afterwards, Dr Gibbons said work was bring done with consultants “to consider various options and provide me with a recommendation as to the best course of action to put us into a position to finally maximize the commercial potential of our premier satellite orbital resource”. Bermuda’s involvement with the space industry stretches back to some the earliest days of Nasa’s space programme, with the agency operating a tracking station at Cooper’s Island from 1960 until 1997. This year, the island has hosted portable satellite tracking facilities operated by Nasa, the European Space Agency, and SpaceX. In London last month, Mr Roban was part of a Bermuda delegation that included representatives from the Bermuda Shipping and Maritime Authority, the Bermuda Business Development Agency, and a number of Bermudian-based companies. He said the group had promoted “Bermuda’s ‘blue-chip’ advantages to the international shipping sector”. Mr Roban also met with Transport for London to talk about technology and travel products. He said: “These included, for example, ‘pay as you go’ or pre-loaded cards such as the Oyster card, contactless payment — which requires a chip and PIN technology not yet widely available in Bermuda, ticket vending machines, biodegradable smart cards and travel apps.”

Scottish Re The company once had offices in Cayman, Bermuda, Ireland, England and North Carolina, but despite its name had no office in Scotland. It was moving away from the annuity business and into reinsurance. By the end of 2002 it had $68 billion of life insurance in force, covering 1.3 million lives. In 2003, the company rebranded as Scottish Re, with total assets of about $3.8 billion. But three years later its income plunged with adverse mortality and morbidity expenses and millions of dollars of late claims from ceding companies. Scott Wilkomm resigned as CEO after second-quarter operating losses of $130 million in 2006, mostly due to the reversal of tax credits that had boosted previous earnings.

The high cost of living had made it increasingly expensive for the company to pay the wages and benefits of expatriate staff it needed to hire, plus restrictions imposed by Bermuda's work permit time limits and so had eroded the benefits of Bermuda's tax regime. The Isle of Man offered similar tax benefits with a significantly lower cost of living.

Seabras 1 Bermuda  2019. December 27. Submarine cable company Seabras 1 Bermuda Ltd has filed for bankruptcy protection in the US as it pursues a secured debt-restructuring plan. Severe price drops on a fibre-optic cable system between the US and Brazil have been cited as the reason why it, together with its subsidiary Seabras 1 USA LLC, filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. The petitions were filed on December 22. The construction of a competing, larger and newer underwater cable project, and the Brazilian economy collapse, led to “severe price drops” on the Seabras-1 cable system between New York and São Paulo, and led to customers shifting to buying small amounts of capacity on the cable for one to two-year leases, paid monthly, rather than the previously expected “front-end payments” of large cash amounts. Larry Schwartz, chief executive officer of Seabras 1 Bermuda and Seabras 1 USA, described those market landscape changes in a New York court document. Seabras 1 Bermuda, and a number of its subsidiaries, own the Seabras-1 fibre-optic cable system between New York and São Paulo. The company has directors registered in Bermuda, and was an exempted company incorporated under Bermuda’s laws when it, along with others, entered into a financing agreement in 2015. But a downturn in business caused Seabras 1 Bermuda to default under the agreement and ultimately file for bankruptcy protection, Mr Schwartz explained in the court document. Separately, in a letter to customers and vendors on Monday, he said the reason for the Chapter 11 move was to restructure Seabras 1 Bermuda’s secured debt. “The restructuring process is a very positive development for the companies’ business and for the companies’ loyal customers. It will provide the best opportunity to enable the business to not just survive, but prosper,” he said. According to a statement, Seabras 1 Bermuda and Seabras 1 USA expect to complete the process relating to the Chapter 11 filings within the next few months, and to emerge within the second quarter of 2020, subject to all required approvals. Seaborn Networks, the Massachusetts-headquartered operator of the companies’ business, is not part of the filings and continues to be the operator of the companies’ business. The statement said: “Seaborn is not owned by the companies, but Seaborn is one of the indirect shareholders of the companies. Seaborn’s work in this regard is not expected to be impacted by the filings; and the companies expect that Seaborn will continue to provide all SG&A and operations and engineering services for the companies. Seaborn itself has no borrowed money indebtedness and is a healthy business. Through the filings process, Seaborn’s management and workforce is expected to remain as it is today.” The statement said customers and vendors should expect to work with all Seabras’ entities, and with Seaborn, as usual throughout the process. In addition the plan to be proposed is not expected to “contemplate any changes in business arrangements or activities for any of Seabras 1 Bermuda’s subsidiaries, or for Seaborn, and all trade and vendor claims are expected to be paid in full”.

SeaCo

Par-La-Ville Road, Hamilton. Bermuda-based, shipping container investment and leasing group. Formed in 2009 to hold the existing container leasing investments of Sea Containers Ltd, which filed for bankruptcy in October 2006 and was finally wound up in 2010.

   
 Seacrest Capital Group Bermuda-based oil and gas investment specialists. Front Street, Hamilton-headquartered. The company was founded in 2010 by Bermuda residents Erik Tiller and Mr Schröder. Seacrest has promoted itself as one of the largest oil and gas exploration investors in the world. It is active in six countries, has more than 50 employees worldwide and at present has 49 exploration areas under licence. Has a strategic partnership with Norway’s PGS, which operates a fleet of seismic ships that gather data about the location of potential offshore oil and gas reserves. Seacrest secures oil exploration licences and the rights to “blocks” of seabed in favored locations, setting up regional companies that are then in a position to allow other players, such as major oil producers, to take a share of the licences and exploration area blocks. Seacrest has founded and grown six private oil and gas exploration companies in Brazil, Indonesia, Ireland, Namibia, Norway, and Britain. The group is funded through private equity, with capital coming from energy investors, primarily in the US and Europe. Those investors include pension funds, private-equity funds and high net-worth individuals. 
SeaDrill  5/16/1990. Oil-drilling and oil rig maker, set up by Norwegian billionaire John Fredriksen, with many Bermuda-incorporated companies. Also operates mobile drilling fleets specializing in deepwater and harsh environments and has about 5,000 employees. Often touted as a potential suitor for US-based offshore drillers. Operated from Norway, it owns Norway’s Smedvig ASA. Incorporated in 2005 by Norwegian shipping billionaire and oil tanker magnate John Fredriksen.

In July 2018 the firm emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy after completing its plan of reorganization. Through his investment companies, Mr Fredriksen also owns stakes in other Bermuda-registered companies, including oil tanker giant Frontline, dry-bulk shipper Golden Ocean Group and liquefied natural gas shipper Golar LNG. The Seadrill plan equitised some $2.4 billion in unsecured bond obligations, more than $1 billion in contingent new-build obligations, substantial unliquidated guaranty obligations, and approximately $250 million in unsecured interest rate and currency swap claims, while extending near-term debt maturities. This provided Seadrill with more than $1 billion in fresh capital, leaving employee, customer, and ordinary trade claims largely unimpaired. With re-profiled debt and substantial liquidity, the company has announced that it is in a strong position to execute its business plan.

Shyft Network Inc 2019. January 10. Bermuda will become a global hub for new digital industries, a blockchain pioneer predicted yesterday. Bruce Silcoff, the chief executive of Shyft, said yesterday the island could be a leader in a “fourth industrial revolution”. Shyft signed a memorandum of understanding with the Government last May and pledged to invest up to $10 million in Bermuda over a three-year period by creating jobs and boosting local businesses, education and infrastructure. Mr Silcoff has also teamed up with Bermudian-based personal data management technology firm Trunomi to launch Perseid, a digitized national identity scheme, this year. He was unable to put a figure on the number of Bermudian jobs that would be filled in the short term, but he said island employment would be created “gradually”. Mr Silcoff told The Royal Gazette: “If we build it, they will come. Once we demonstrate the proof of concept to the world, businesses will come, investors will come and then you will see jobs rapidly growing here. It has to be for Bermudians. If there are jobs here, not only are you going to keep your local residents but you will attract new people. You are no longer going to be just a tourist location, you are going to be the blockchain hub for the world — that’s how we deliver jobs, that’s how we deliver the future. We want to educate and retool the citizens of Bermuda. You’ve been victimized by a brain drain in Bermuda, your young children go off to university, get trained and educated and don’t come back until they’re older — you have a gap.” Mr Silcoff, who is based in Toronto and visited the island this week, added: “Bermuda will be a global hub for blockchain.” He said if the sector was as successful as he and many others predicted it will be, and marked a “fourth industrial revolution, then Bermuda will be at the epicentre of it and every citizen in this country stands to benefit. All those children that have gone away until retirement will no longer go away. The people that are away will now have an opportunity to return to Bermuda. This will help repatriate all those people and it will help keep the young brains, the young talent, from leaving.” The entrepreneur said for every 14 jobs in the sector there was only one person available. He claimed investment, business and education in the industry meant Bermuda would become recognized as “a leading jurisdiction” in blockchain. Mr Silcoff praised David Burt, the Premier, and his government for their efforts to cultivate digital asset business and said the Progressive Labour Party administration had “walked the walk” to attract companies to the island. He added: “There is so much opportunity in blockchain. What I would like to do, and what the Premier wants to do, is tool the youth of Bermuda. We want to tool all citizens of Bermuda with blockchain expertise that can be sold to the rest of the world. That will change the landscape of this country.” Mr Silcoff said education in the sector could be delivered on-island or electronically. He said: “I’m a business owner, I would love to be able to pull talent from a local pool. That to me is the ideal situation and if I know that, that’s another reason why I’m going to set up in Bermuda.” 

2018. June 1. In a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with the Bermuda Government, Shyft Network Inc re-affirmed its pledged to spend up to $10 million on investments in Bermudian-based companies and education.

2018. May 16. Blockchain technology company Shyft pledged to invest up to $10 million in Bermuda over a three-year period, creating new jobs, helping to re-skill workers and investing in local businesses, education and infrastructure. Those are some of the highlights of a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the company and the Bermuda Government in New York City. The company has also signed a separate MOU with Bermuda-headquartered Trunomi, which aims to leverage Shyft’s blockchain technology with its expertise in consumer consent frameworks to support Bermuda in the implementation of an electronic ID framework. The memorandum with the Government was signed by David Burt and Joseph Weinberg, chairman of Shyft. Mr Weinberg said: Shyft states that it is building the world’s first modern, secure, multi-stakeholder blockchain-based digital identity solution that enables KYC/AML attested data transfers.

SIH 2017. October 3. Sompo International Holdings Ltd has launched a new insurance platform and global clearance system, as it aims to offer clients options across insurance and reinsurance markets to help them manage their risks. SIH, which is based in Bermuda, was established after Japanese insurance giant Sompo Holdings acquired island-based Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd in March this year in a $6.3 billion deal. SIH, which is led by chairman and chief executive officer John Charman, is aiming to set “a new global standard” for the industry, by offering customers a wide array of products on one web-based platform. Mr Charman said: “I am delighted with the substantial progress that we have made to date in integrating the various operating entities that comprise Sompo International. Of course, complete integration will take time and we are committed to accomplishing this in a thoughtful and deliberate manner while keeping the best interests of our clients, trading partners and employees at the forefront. The launch of our new global clearance system is just the first step as we continue to modernize and transform our technology platform across all lines of business and geographies. In keeping with Sakurada-san’s vision, we remain steadfastly focused on creating and growing a highly profitable, globally integrated business that is unique in the history of our industry.” All the former Endurance companies were transferred to SIH on September 27 in the first step to create the global clearance system. The company intends to transfer the Sompo America companies and Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Insurance Company of Europe Ltd to SIH in the near future. The intention is to bring all other Sompo worldwide subsidiaries under the ownership and control of SIH. Kengo Sakurada, CEO of Sompo Holdings, said: “Starting with the solid oversight for all commercial lines of products, this reorganization and the alignment of our global platform under John Charman’s leadership is the next logical step in our journey to fulfill our vision to build the first truly global integrated insurance and reinsurance business.”

2019. February 4. The board of Bermuda-based reinsurer Sirius International Insurance Group Ltd has elected a new chief executive officer and a new chief financial officer. Kernan “Kip” Oberting will succeed Allan Waters as CEO of Sirius Group, and Ralph Salamone will replace Mr Oberting as CFO, in each case effective February 9, 2019. The company said it was implementing its succession plan. In addition, Meyer (Sandy) Frucher, the chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Sirius board, was appointed as interim non-executive chairman. Mr Waters has stepped down as a director of Sirius Group, effective February 9, 2019, and will stay on to provide advisory services to Mr Oberting and other senior executives. Mr Oberting, 49, has served as president of Sirius Group since September 2018 and CFO since April 2016. He has also served as president of Sirius Capital Markets since April 2016. Prior to that, Mr Oberting served as a senior partner of White Mountains Capital from July 2012 until April 2016. Mr Salamone, 52, is the CEO of Sirius Global Services, a position he has held since 2010. He has also served as the CFO and treasurer at Sirius America Insurance Company since 2012. Mr Frucher said: “On behalf of the board of directors, I want to thank Allan for his remarkable leadership as CEO. Allan has left a significant legacy and made lasting contributions to Sirius Group. Under his leadership, Sirius Group was publicly listed and diversified its shareholder base with four globally recognized investment firms as cornerstone investors. Today’s leadership announcement is part of a thoughtful succession plan culminating in Allan’s existing management team being appointed to continue to lead Sirius Group into the future.” Mr Oberting said: “I am honored and privileged to be the next CEO of Sirius Group, and I appreciate the confidence that Allan and the board of directors have placed in me. I also want to thank Allan for his constant support, and am fortunate to have him as both a mentor and friend.” Sirius Group is a Bermuda-based holding company with re/insurance operating companies in Bermuda, Stockholm, New York and London.

2018. June 26. Bermuda-based insurance holding company Sirius International Insurance Group Ltd is to merge with asset management company Easterly Acquisition Corp. The combination will result in Sirius becoming a publicly listed company, with shares to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. The move comes as Sirius, which is controlled by Chinese investors, announced that its agreement to buy a controlling stake in Israeli insurer Phoenix Holdings is set to be terminated by next Monday. Sirius was sold two years ago for $2.6 billion by White Mountains Insurance Group to China Minsheng Investment Corp. Sirius Bermuda Insurance Company is the main operating company in the group, which wrote $1.44 billion of gross written premiums last year. The group also has offices in London, New York and Stockholm. Easterly is based in Beverly, Massachusetts and under the terms of the deal the US asset manager would merge with a subsidiary of the Sirius Group. On closing of the merger, Easterly’s common stock would be exchanged for Sirius Group’s common shares at a price of 1.05 times Sirius Group’s pro forma diluted book value per share as of June 30, 2018. The all-stock transaction would yield a combined entity with a market capitalization of about $2.2 billion at closing, with Easterly stockholders owning approximately 7 per cent of the combined company. We are pleased to become a public company though our partnership with Easterly,” said Allan Waters, chief executive officer and chairman of Sirius Group. Access to the public equity markets will facilitate and accelerate our future growth via M&A transactions and organically.” Easterly has scheduled a special meeting of its stockholders for June 28 to approve an extension of time to complete a business combination through November 30, 2018. Assuming that Easterly’s stockholders approve the extension period, Sirius Group has agreed to lend to Easterly 3 cents per month through the extension period for each public share that is not redeemed at Easterly’s special meeting of its stockholders on June 28, 2018,” Sirius stated. Avshalom Kalichstein, CEO of Easterly, said: “We are excited to bring a company of the scale and stature of Sirius into the public markets. We believe this transaction will offer tremendous value to our shareholders.” Easterly will deposit such loan proceeds into its trust account upon receipt. The loan will be forgiven if the merger does not close by November 30, 2018.

2018. June 26. Passengers and visitors at LF Wade International Airport should have plenty of food and drink options to choose from when the new terminal opens in 2020. Plans have been drawn up for almost 11,000 sq ft of food and beverage concession space, split between the airside and landside of the building. The largest of the five new concessions will cover 3,601 sq ft and be located in the non-US international departure area. At present, there is no food and beverage concession airside for passengers heading for Canada or the UK. The first stage of the process to find food and beverage concession operators for the new terminal has begun. Bermuda Skyport Corporation Ltd is inviting expressions of interest from qualified food and beverage concessionaires to finance, market, operate and maintain one or more of the concessions locations. Skyport is responsible for the LF Wade International Airport operations, maintenance and commercial functions. It is also overseeing the construction of the new terminal. A comprehensive plan for food and beverage outlets in the new terminal has been drawn up by London-based Pragma Consulting, which has worked on numerous airport projects, including London Heathrow and La Guardia in New York. Ken Hassard, Skyport’s commercial director, said there would not be a central food hall area for passengers — a concept found at larger airports. He explained that with less than one million passengers passing through the airport each year, and departing passengers being segregated between the US pre-clearance portion of the terminal and those on non-US flights, the airport does not achieve the critical mass of passengers needed to make a food hall a feasible option. However, the new terminal will have two food and beverage concessions on the ground floor landside, that is the public areas open to all. One unit is in the check-in area, while the other is in the “meet-and-greet” arrivals location. The other three units will be airside on the first floor of the new terminal. These are for passengers who have passed through the security screening area. There will be two concessions in the US departures side, totaling 3,824 sq ft, and one large concession in the international departure area. This month, Skyport also invited expressions of interest from qualified retailers to market, operate and maintain retail concessions in the new terminal. There will be ten retail units, split between the airside and landside of the building. The total retail space will be more than 9,500 sq ft. The call for expressions of interest for the retail units closed last Friday. Carrie Thatcher, Skyport’s commercial manager, said there had been quite a number of expressions of interest. Qualified food and drink concessionaires interested in operating one or more of the units at the new terminal should submit a summary of qualifications and experience to Skyport by Friday. Skyport has requested that those expressing an interest “should demonstrate capability to finance, design, implement, market, manage and operate a high-quality food and beverage concession”. Request for proposals will be issued to qualified parties in August.

Sol Petroleum Bermuda 2019. November 27. Esso is promising more than simply a new look at its gas stations in Bermuda. Because the fuel at the pumps is different and comes with claims it will help provide better gas mileage, lower emissions and better engine responsiveness. Esso brought leading executives to the island for the launch of the new brand of fuel, which is called Synergy and is being sold at Esso gas stations. But it’s all about the fuel. Synergy is also a new image brand at Esso service stations on the island, which include a different forecourt look, bright red structures at the pumps and the gradual introduction of screens and eventually tap-and-go payment options. Synergy fuel has been introduced in other countries, including the US, UK and Canada. Bermuda is the first jurisdiction in the western Caribbean region to have the fuel. SolPetroleum Bermuda Ltd said all Esso brand gas stations and Sol commercial customers will have access to the Synergy fuels. Ché Barker, retail sales executive at Sol Bermuda, said: “Synergy is going to benefit engines for the better. It is also a change to the forecourt. The forecourt at the Esso stations haven’t seen an upgrade this century. It’s an upgrade to how we look. It’s a new feel for customer service, a real change in the branding and in the concept of what we are going to be offering. We are in the process of doing upgrades even to the pumps, with 10-inch screens to make it easier to get information across, and tap-to-pay; making it much easier for the customer to get there and get their fuel and get information.” Synergy fuels were developed by Exxon Mobil Corporation. Esso is an ExxonMobil brand. The fuel contains seven ingredients, including a second detergent. The detergent is a component designed to clean and protect intake valves for port fuel injector engines. The other ingredients are an anti-adhesion compound, a corrosion inhibitor, a demulsifier, solvent fluid, and marker molecules. Collectively, those elements are said to ensure a cleaner engine with less fuel-created deposits, and more efficiency leading to “better gas mileage”. Actual benefits will be based on vehicle type, driving style and which gas you previously used. The grades of gas and diesel available are Supreme+, Unleaded, Supreme+ Diesel, in addition to mix gas. The synergy fuels will only be sold at Esso gas stations in Bermuda. Lauren Lauher, Houston-based market strategy adviser with ExxonMobil, said: “We have been rolling out Synergy products around the globe.” She said the reaction to the fuel has been positive, especially with the diesel product offering. We are seeing people switching their whole fleets over to our product,” she said, mentioning that there had been a 2 per cent efficiency improvement measured in vehicles using Synergy diesel. The launch event, held at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, was attended by executives from Sol and ExxonMobil, together with on-island dealers, fleet owners, corporate customer and government officials. Stephen Turner, sales manager at Sol Bermuda, said: “It’s a big deal. We are the third country in the Caribbean to get this product. We can tell people we have the best fuel, the research backs it up. We want this to benefit our customers.”

2017. February 1. Seniors can get a fuel discount for eight weeks under a promotion from Sol Petroleum Bermuda, its family of Esso service stations and Age Concern. Anyone aged 50 or older can get 10 per cent off fuel purchases at Esso every Tuesday until March 21 when they sign up as a member of Age Concern. According to a press release, the promotion is intended to help Bermuda’s seniors and raise awareness about Age Concern. Jonathan Brewin, general manager of Sol Petroleum Bermuda Ltd, stated: “We are happy to launch the Esso Age Concern promotion for a second year in a row. “It not only benefits our seniors, but sheds light on the many benefits that Age Concern presents to its membership. We hope this promotion creates more awareness for the charity in general as well as helping our seniors save money at the pump.” Claudette Fleming, executive director of Age Concern, said: “I wish to extend sincere thanks to Sol Petroleum Bermuda Ltd, Esso Gas Stations and their staff for their continued commitment to Age Concern. “In the face of retirement many older adults are looking for ways to minimise their living expenses as prices continue to rise year on year. 10 per cent on fuel is a big deal for seniors and will be greatly appreciated.” Participating Esso gas stations are in St David’s, St George’s, Crawl, Collector’s Hill, BIU, Esso City, Warwick, Port Royal and Sandys.

Somers A listed Bermuda-incorporated international financial services investment holding company whose major assets include its 100 percent owned subsidiary, Bermuda Commercial Bank Limited, one of Bermuda’s four licensed banks and a 62.5 percent holding in Waverton Investment Management Limited, a UK wealth manager with over US$8.7 billion assets under management. The Group’s other investments include an approximate 68 percent economic interest in the London Stock Exchange listed Private & Commercial Finance Group PLC, a UK asset financing company, an 84.6 percent stake in Westhouse Holdings PLC, a corporate and institutional stock broking group, a 30 percent economic interest in Ascot Lloyd Holdings Limited, a UK independent financial adviser and a 21 percent economic interest in Merrion Capital Holdings Limited, an Irish financial services group.

Somers Ltd remains hopeful that it can complete the agreed sale of Bermuda Commercial Bank after the deal was stalled by the Covid-19 crisis. The financial-services holding company agreed last year to sell BCB to Permanent Capital Holdings Ltd and in February this year the deal received necessary approvals from regulators. In March, Somers announced the deal had been delayed amid extreme volatility on financial markets. In its first-quarter earnings statement today, filed with the Bermuda Stock Exchange, Somers said: “Disappointingly, during the quarter, we were not able to complete the sale of BCB due to the uncertainty caused by Covid-19 and the impact this uncertainty had on investor confidence. “We remain in discussions with the proposed buyer and are hopeful that we will be able to complete the sale later in 2020.” Somers values its investment in BCB at $70 million. The company which has interests in the UK and Australia, as well as Bermuda, reported a net loss of $22 million for the six months ended March 31, the first half of its financial year. Somers said its net asset value dipped with the markets in the first three months of the year, but has since rebounded. “During the quarter the company’s investments experienced significant stock market and currency volatility as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the actions taken by governments worldwide,” Warren McLeland, chairman of Somers, said. “The impact of sharply reduced valuations combined with the decrease of sterling and the Australian dollar against the US dollar caused the company’s NAV to decrease to $15.73 as at March 31, 2020. It is positive to note that since the quarter end the company’s NAV has moved higher and is now back above the company’s NAV at the start of the financial year.” The NAV was $17.10 per share at the end of September last year. During the first three months of this year, Somers recorded a $78.3 million unrealized loss on its investment portfolio, mainly due to decreased valuations of its holdings in PCF, Waverton, BCB and Thorn Group.

“While we anticipate valuations to be impacted by Covid-19 in the short term, particularly in those businesses, such as PCF, which is focused on asset financing and whose customers will be impacted by the pandemic, we do expect that over the longer term these investments will generate significant value to Somers shareholders,” Somers stated. Shareholders’ equity was $331.3 million as at March 31, 2020 down from $353.6 million six months earlier. Somers’ board of directors declared an interim dividend of 21 cents per share. Of the companies Somers invests in, Australian firm Resimac Ltd reported normalized profit after tax of A$26.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, up 85 per cent from the same period a year earlier, and assets under management of over A$14 billion. UK-based Waverton Investment Management’s assets under management at March 31 were £5.6 billion, down from £6.2 billion at the end of 2019. PCF Group increased its lending portfolio by 45 per cent to £400 million as of the end of March. Total assets were $403.2 million at the end of March, down from $423.1 million six months earlier.

2020. March. The completion of the deal to buy out Bermuda Commercial Bank will be delayed, probably into the summer. Somers Ltd agreed last year to sell BCB to Permanent Capital Holdings Ltd and last month the deal received necessary approvals from regulators. Somers said in a filing with the Bermuda Stock Exchange today: “With the recent extreme market volatility in global markets caused by the Covid-19 virus, Somers and Permanent have agreed that anticipated completion of the sale of BCB should be delayed until as soon as practicable, which could extend into the summer, when it is hoped that the global outlook will have improved and markets are more stable. Permanent has confirmed to Somers that they remain committed to completing the acquisition of BCB. Somers will update shareholders once there is further clarity on an anticipated date of completion of the transaction.

2020. February 28. Increases in valuation and a stronger British pound and Australian dollar helped Somers Limited to a $74.6 million profit in its first quarter, which ended on December 31. The financial services investment holding company has reported its results, only days after it was announced that regulatory and government approvals have been received for the sale of Bermuda Commercial Bank Ltd, which it owns. Alisdair Younie, director of ICM Ltd, Somers’ investment advisor, said: “Post the quarter end we were delighted to announce that all material regulatory and government approvals had been received for the sale of BCB. We expect the sale to complete shortly and will advise shareholders of the anticipated use of the proceeds upon completion.” Somers’ net income of $74.6 million, or $3.61 per share, compares to a loss of $16.8 million for the same period in 2018. The company said the improvement was primarily due to valuation increases at Resimac and PCF, and the strengthening of sterling and the Australian dollar against the US dollar. About 80 per cent of Somers’ investment portfolio is exposed to foreign currencies, mostly British and Australian. Warren McLeland, chairman of Somers, said: “The first quarter of the year included buoyant global stock markets, clarity on Brexit and an agreement on phase one of the US/China trade war. This had a positive impact on Somers’ two main foreign currency exposures, sterling and the Australian Dollar. On top of this, Resimac announced strong financial results during the quarter providing a significant increase to the valuation. This gain at Resimac, the positive move in the global markets and stronger foreign currencies enabled Somers to announce a record profit for the quarter of $74.6 million and an increase in the company’s net asset value to $20.41. Importantly, our underlying investments continue to perform strongly with their core fundamentals continuing to provide excellent growth.” Resimac Group Holdings is Somers’ largest investment with a value of $227.8 million and assets under management of A$14.2 billion ($9.3 million) at the end of December. Other investment highlights for Somers during its first quarter was Waverton Investment Management Ltd completing the acquisition of Timothy James & Partners, and MJ Hudson Group plc completing its initial public offering on the London Alternative Investment Market, raising $30 million and valuing Somers; investment at $10.4 million. Somers’ total borrowings at December 31 were $73.6 million, up from $67.9 million three months earlier due to increased shareholder loans to fund investments

2019. December 27. Weaknesses in the British pound and Australian dollar contributed to Somers Limited recording a $9.7 million loss for the year 2019. It has a concentrated portfolio of investments in companies principally in Australia, Bermuda and the UK, and it wholly owns Bermuda Commercial Bank Limited. The company entered into an agreement in February to sell BCB to Permanent Capital Holdings Ltd. Somers is awaiting the necessary approvals from the Bermuda Monetary Authority and the Bermuda Government in order to proceed with the sale. Warren McLeland, chairman of Somers, said: “Whilst the delay is frustrating, we remain positive that the transaction will complete and thereby release significant capital to enable Somers to reduce its debt and to male investments in new and existing businesses.” He made the comment as part of Somers’ annual report. The company’s financial year ended on September 30. While it is waiting for clearance to sell BCB, it has had a busy year, and one which produced strong earnings in some of the companies it is invested, according to Mr McLeland. Somers increased its level of borrowing during the year. It entered into a new loan facility to fund its investment in PCF Group Plc, a bank listed on the London Stock Exchange, in February. Somers invested £5.3 million ($6.9 million) as part of a PCF fundraising. It has a majority shareholdings in the bank. Regarding the increased borrowing, Mr McLeland said: “Given the quality, diverse nature and size of Somers’ asset base, an external gearing level of 12 per cent remains relatively low and within the company’s risk tolerance. Whilst the company’s focus remains on delivering strong returns for our shareholders, we recognise that the global economy is facing numerous challenges and as such we will look to repay the company’s related party debt and reduce bank debt as a result of the sale of BCB.” Macro-economic factors, including Brexit, resulted in a negative impact on foreign exchange movements from Somers’ investment perspective. Mr McLeland said that while the financial performance of many of its investments was strong, foreign currency movements in Sterling and the Australian dollar “which reduced in value due to the weakening global economy” impacted the valuation of several of Somers’ larger investments. Sterling and the Australian dollar weakened against the US dollar by 5.7 per cent and 6.6 per cent, respectively, during the year. Somers has about 41 per cent of its investments in Australia, 28 per cent in the UK, and almost 27 per cent in Bermuda. It has controlling stakes in Resimac Group Ltd, an Australian and New Zealand mortgage securitisation business; Waverton Investment Management Ltd, a UK private wealth management business; and West Hamilton Holdings Ltd, a Bermuda property holding and management company. It also has stakes in UK brokerage organisation AK Jensen; Australian financial services organisation Thorn Group Ltd; and UK law firm MJ Hudson. Somers’ net asset value per share decreased from $18.15 to $17.10. Its shares trade on The Royal Gazette/BSX Index, currently at $15 per share. Its total assets increased during the year from $407.3 million to $423.1 million. At the end of September it had $17.3 billion of assets under management. Looking ahead to the new year, Mr McLeland noted the historically low levels of interest rates around the world, and the weakening of global growth in the face of geopolitical events such as the US-China trade war, Brexit, and protests in Hong Kong. He said: “We remain cautious going into 2020. Whilst we may be entering the end stages of the current economic cycle, we believe our investments are well placed and expect to be able to take advantage of opportunities that might arise.”

2019. December 13. Somers Ltd has reported a net loss for the year of $9.7 million while it awaits government and regulatory approvals for the sale of Bermuda Commercial Bank, which it expects to receive “shortly”. Year-end results for the financial services investment holding company were filed with the Bermuda Stock Exchange, which released them today. Permanent Capital Holdings Ltd, a private New York-based investor in financial services companies, announced on February 5 that it was buying BCB from parent Somers, subject to regulatory approvals, including from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Somers’ year-end financials valued BCB at $82.9 million, compared with $94.9 million at the end of fiscal 2018. The net loss for the financial year ending September 30 was despite Somers recording a net profit of $4.9 million in the fourth quarter. The loss compares to a profit of $4.2 million at year-end in 2018. Somers said the net loss was primarily due to net foreign exchange losses of $15.6 million for the year. At year-end, Somers said, 72.1 per cent of its net assets were exposed to foreign currencies, primarily sterling and the Australian dollar, and over the course of the year these currencies decreased in value versus the US dollar by 5.7 per cent and 6.6 per cent, respectively. The exchange losses were primarily unrealized, the company said. Warren McLeland, chairman of Somers said: “2019 was a busy year for Somers with a number of corporate transactions and positive financial performances at several of the company’s investee companies, particularly Resimac and PCF. Unfortunately, this did not flow through to the company’s net asset value primarily due to weaknesses in Sterling and the Australian dollar which meant that the company recorded a loss for the year. Since the year end the rebound in the value of sterling, the continued strong financial performance at Resimac and an increase in the share price at PCF have had a material positive impact on the company’s net asset value. We are still waiting regulatory and Government approvals for the sale of BCB but remain confident that the transaction will complete shortly. 2019 has been a year of geopolitical events which have impacted global markets and global economic growth which in turn has led to lower interest rates, often negative rates, and the reintroduction of central bank liquidity. The extreme volatility that the markets experienced in the last quarter of 2018 may not have been repeated in 2019 but until some of these events are removed global growth will continue to be anemic and the threat of further volatility remains. However, our investments are well placed with strong financials, and with increased liquidity when the sale of BCB completes Somers will be able to take advantage of the opportunities that are likely to be present over the next 12 months.” Somers’ total assets increased during the year to $423.1 million, up from $407.3 million a year previous. The company had a net asset value per share of $17.10, and shareholders’ equity of $353.6 million as at September 30, the company reported. Shareholders’ equity a year ago was $364.1 million. Somers’ share price ended the period at $15, down from $16 at September 30, 2018. Investment highlights for the year included completion of the sale of Somers’ holdings in Merrion Capital, Stockdale Securities and Street Capital Group, the company said. Resimac Group Ltd remains Somers’ largest investment with a value of $157.9 million and reported assets under management in excess of $13 billion Australian and recently announced a significant increase in forecast profits for the first half of the current financial year, Somers said. Somers recorded a $4.3 million gain on its investment portfolio for 2019. Total borrowings increased to $67.9 million from $41.5 million a year earlier. The directors of Somers have resolved to pay a final dividend of 30 cents per share bringing the total dividend for the year to 51 cents.

Sompo International 2020. April 15. Sompo International Holdings Ltd has announced that as part of the ongoing transformation of Sompo International, the Bermuda-based re/insurer will be consolidating its London presence into one company market platform. This will mean that, from January 2021, it will no longer write business from Endurance at Lloyd’s or Syndicate 5151. All renewals and new business will be written from Endurance Worldwide Insurance Limited. John Charman, executive chairman, Sompo International Holdings Ltd, and chief executive officer of Overseas Insurance and Reinsurance Business, Sompo Holdings Inc, said: “Our decision to focus our activities in London on a single company platform reflects the unique strength of Sompo’s global reach, brand, ratings and financial stability. Having one single platform will allow us to continue to profitably grow our business and deliver superior value and solutions to our clients and distribution partners. With Sompo International’s rating equivalent to Lloyd’s, we can utilise that rating and our existing operation to be an even more streamlined and efficient provider of risk solutions whilst maintaining a meaningful and diversified trading relationship with Lloyd’s in the years to come.” Julian James, CEO of International Insurance, said: “Our ambition is to grow our London Market and European business significantly in the near term. Sompo International is now recognised by our brokers and clients as a global leader with significant capability and excellent talent. With one platform, we will be able to provide them with efficient access to the very best products and services, underpinned by highly rated security.”

2018. April 24. Bermuda-based Sompo International Holdings Ltd is to open a new subsidiary in Luxembourg as a Brexit-proof platform for growth in Europe. The insurer and reinsurer said today it had received regulatory approvals from Luxembourg’s Ministry of Finance to establish the new subsidiary, SI Insurance (Europe). SI joins others, such as Hiscox and American International Group, who have chosen to set up a European hub away from London to avoid the impact of the likely loss of “passporting” rights that allow UK-based companies unhindered access to European Union countries. SI said it would maintain its London offices and its presence in the Lloyd’s market. John Charman, chairman and chief executive officer of Sompo International, said: “Europe is a key component to SI’s strategic growth plans and SIIE now provides us with a base in continental Europe to build our presence in the region. We continue to introduce new specialty teams and deliver a broader suite of products as we enhance our capabilities to provide exceptional and efficient service to our international clients.” Takashi Kurumisawa will be CEO of the new company, which is expected to become operational later this year. Sompo International plans to extend SIIE this year beyond its headquarters in Luxembourg to include operations in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Belgium as the company integrates Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Insurance Company of Europe Ltd and further expands its European operations

2018. February 2. Bermuda-based Sompo International Holdings Ltd has completed the full transfer of Sompo America’s business operations and staff into the Sompo International Insurance platform. Commercial property, casualty and specialty products for Japanese Interest Accounts will be managed by the Sompo Global Risk Solutions platform, under the oversight of Michael Chang, chief executive officer of Sompo Global Risk Solutions. Jack Kuhn, CEO of Global Insurance, said: “The integration and alignment of Sompo America marks a significant step towards the creation of a truly integrated global insurance platform. The combined organisation has the backing of Sompo’s strong balance sheet, while providing additional flexibility with respect to broad licensing, greater on-the-ground resources and a larger regional footprint in the US. I am extremely pleased that we are now able to offer additional products and services to our clients and trading partners.” Meanwhile, the transfer of Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Insurance Company of Europe Limited and their integration with SIH is planned for the second quarter of this year.

Stanley Works (Bermuda) Ltd (The) 3/30/1988. This hardware manufacturer, an S&P 500 company, is a worldwide supplier of tools and doors and related hardware products for professional, industrial and consumer use. On May 9, 2002, the corporation  voted to re-incorporate in Bermuda after 159 years in New Britain, Connecticut, for tax savings estimated at US$30 million. A particular Bermuda corporation, The Stanley Works Limited became the parent company of The Stanley Works . The idea was hugely controversial. John M. Trani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated it strengthened our company. An important portion of its revenues and earnings are from outside the United States, where nearly 50 percent of customers live. An increasing proportion of the company's materials are being purchased from global sources. This change created greater operational flexibility, better positioned the company to manage international cash flows and helped it deal with a complex international tax structure. But on August 3, 2002, after huge publicity in the USA, it was reported that Stanley Works had decided not to re-incorporate in Bermuda after all. Bermuda-incorporated Stanley Works Ltd was dissolved but this particular entity remained. It has $ multi-million US Defense and Homeland Security contracts.

The holding company for the firm and its six insurance platforms spread across London, Europe and the US, as well as other group companies will also adopt the new brand and logo. The major shareholders in StarStone are Bermuda-based Enstar Group and Stone Point Capital, headquartered in Connecticut. StarStone chairman and chief executive officer Nick Packer said: “Since our change in ownership in April 2014, we have made significant progress by strengthening our management team and reorganizing areas of business. “This was recognized by AM Best when reaffirming our A- rating. As part of that journey, the time is right to launch a new brand that signals our shareholders’ continuing commitment and best reflects who we are today. We are committed to delivering the same high levels of service to our clients with new brand that underlines our position within Enstar Group and the strength of our combined partnership.”

2019. April 10. Ed Noonan, the former chairman and chief executive officer of Bermuda-based reinsurer Validus Holdings, has taken a new role as chairman of global specialty insurer StarStone. StarStone is predominantly owned by Bermuda-based Enstar Group, which has a 59 per cent stake in the company, along with the Trident Funds, managed by Stone Point Capital, which own a 39.3 per cent stake. The company simultaneously announced that Dick Sandford, the former chairman of PartnerRe US, will take the role of president of StarStone. Chris Rash has also been promoted to CEO of StarStone International and deputy group CEO. One of StarStone’s underwriting platforms is StarStone Insurance Bermuda Ltd, a Class 4 insurer, based at offices in Windsor Place on Queen Street, Hamilton. The company also manages Syndicate 1301 in the Lloyd’s of London market and also has a presence in the US and Liechtenstein. Validus was acquired by American International Group last year in a deal worth more than $5.5 billion. Mr Noonan had been chairman and CEO of Validus since its founding in 2005. Mr Noonan has more than 30 years of industry experience. Before he joined Validus, he was CEO of American Re from 1997 to 2002, after joining the firm in 1983. Before that, he worked at Swiss Re from 1979 to 1983. Mr Sanford will oversee StarStone’s global underwriting and reinsurance strategy. He has 35 years of insurance-market experience and began his career as a casualty underwriter at AIG in 1984. He has since held a succession of senior roles including, executive vice-president, TIG Re/Odyssey America Reinsurance and vice-president, Cologne Reinsurance Company of America, before he joined PartnerRe in 2000. Mr Rash, who joined StarStone in August 2018, will lead StarStone’s international business, and operational strategy at group level. He has more than 20 years of industry experience, having held numerous financial and operational leadership positions, including 15 years at RSA, and as group CFO at MS Amlin. In a joint statement, Enstar and Stone Point, said: “The experience that Ed and Dick bring to StarStone is considerable. Their appointments demonstrate our collective investment and commitment in realizing StarStone’s ambitions, and we are very pleased to welcome them to the Group.” John Hendrickson, group CEO, StarStone, said: “This is a pivotal moment for StarStone. As we reposition StarStone to deliver profitable growth, Ed and Dick bring a wealth of knowledge. Their respective contribution, together with Chris’s financial and operational expertise, will prove invaluable as we continue to provide highly professional, bespoke specialty solutions to our clients, locally and globally.”

Stevedoring Services 2019. March 18. With its licence to operate Bermuda’s only cargo dock coming due in less than two years, the management of Stevedoring Services Limited is keeping a close eye on Bermuda Government’s plans for the Corporation of Hamilton. Stevedoring has an exclusive terminal operating licence for the Hamilton docks, which expires in February 2021. It holds a non-exclusive terminal operating licence, as do several other entities, for the free ports in St George, Dockyard, and at Morgan’s Point. Warren Jones, chief executive officer, Polaris Holding Company Ltd, the parent company of Stevedoring, said: “We have been watching it, and we will see where it goes. Our focus is on the business we do, and we will continue to defend our position here regardless of how it all comes out. “Our focus is on the dock and trying to continue to be Bermuda’s choice as the operator to run the dock. Whatever Government does, we expect to be the terminal operator running the dock. In fact, our vision is to be the terminal operator at all of Bermuda’s ports.” Mr Jones said Stevedoring is in close contact with government officials on an ongoing basis since the dock’s importance to Bermuda is related to several ministries as well as to the Emergency Measures Organisation. “We are responsible for a key part of Bermuda’s infrastructure,” he said. “The EMO and the various ministries are all key to what we do.” Members of Parliament voted 22-7 along party lines on Thursday to pass the Municipalities Reform Act 2019, which once in force will transform the Corporations of Hamilton and St George into un-elected quangos. The Act will bring to an end a combined total of almost 450 years of local government in Bermuda. Elected members of the municipalities are to hold office until May 13, unless they resign in writing to the Minister of Home Affairs. The minister will appoint a mayor and councillors for each of the corporations to serve from May 14. Charles Gosling, Mayor of Hamilton, has indicated that the Corporation of Hamilton will launch a court battle to fight the Government’s plans.
   
St. George's  2019. July 4. Police have launched an international manhunt for a Bermuda-based international life insurance company owner accused of investor fraud involving millions of dollars. Ramesh Dusoruth, owner of St George’s Ltd, faces a charge of fraudulent inducement to deposit or invest and another of transferring criminal property. He is also charged with three counts of transmission of false information to the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Mr Dusoruth was arrested and charged with the offences, but failed to appear in Magistrates’ Court on March 21 and an arrest warrant was issued. Acting Detective Superintendent Nicholas Pedro of the Bermuda Police said: “Inquiries indicate Mr Dusoruth absconded from Bermuda and his current whereabouts are not known.” He added Mr Dusoruth is known to have business interests in Cyprus, Malta and Holland and has homes in London and Antwerp in Belgium. Interpol has been notified and the alleged fraudster has been red-flagged for arrest and return to Bermuda to face the charges in court. Anyone with information on Mr Dusoruth’s location should contact the police specialist investigations department on 295-0011.

St. George's 2019. July 10. The owner of a Bermuda- based international life insurance company wanted on allegations of misuse of millions of dollars of investors’ money was arrested yesterday in the Netherlands. An international manhunt was launched for Ramesh Dusoruth, beneficial owner of St George’s Ltd, after he failed to appear in Magistrates’ Court in March to face the allegations. He was arrested after an Interpol red notice was issued and police in Bermuda are now liaising with the Dutch authorities to have Mr Dusoruth returned to Bermuda. Acting Detective Superintendent Nicholas Pedro said the arrest came as a result of good teamwork between Bermuda police officers and their international counterparts. He added: “In today’s world of transnational organised crime, the ability for law enforcement to co-operate globally sends a clear message that one cannot easily hide from justice and accountability.” Mr Dusoruth faces a charge of fraudulent inducement to deposit or invest and another of transferring criminal property. He is also charged with three counts of transmission of false information to the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Mr Dusoruth was known to have business interests in Cyprus, Malta and the Netherlands and has homes in London and Antwerp in Belgium.

2019. May 15. Bermuda-based Sun Life Financial International has launched Sun Global Sentinel, a permanent participating whole life insurance product aimed at high net-worth clients. The company is a unit of Sun Life Financial, the Toronto-based financial-services company with more than $1.01 trillion of assets under management as of March 31 this year. Sun Life has strived to establish itself as a pioneer in ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth life insurance markets. Sun Life Financial International focuses on high-net-worth life and wealth solutions for families in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, helping families and business owners protect their wealth and fund their business succession plans. “We are pleased to offer Sun Global Sentinel to our high-net-worth clients,” Paul Courtney, chief commercial officer of Sun Life Financial International, said. “All our products are a great solution for global clients who seek to protect and grow their legacy for future generations. In particular, Sentinel is designed for those clients who seek a guaranteed lifetime protection combined with potential value accumulation through dividend earnings that can increase the death benefit and cash value.” Whole life products — which include a death benefit and an investment growth component — have become increasingly popular with high-net-worth clients in recent years. Sun Global Sentinel affords long-term security through permanent coverage and guaranteed death benefit, offers the potential for growing clients’ legacy through bonuses that may be applied to the contract, and offers flexibility of tailoring the contract to one of three benefit plans and choosing a payment schedule that best fits client needs, Sun Life said. “Sun Global Sentinel is a great timely addition to our product portfolio,” Niall O’Hare, CEO of Sun Life Financial International, said. “We will continue working on expanding our product offerings, creating more product choices for our high-net-worth clients.” The Sun Global Sentinel product is not available to citizens and residents of Bermuda, Canada and the US.

2018. August 21. Bermuda-headquartered Sun Life Financial International has launched a new universal life insurance product for high-net-worth clients. Sun Global Optima is described as a flexible premium indexed universal life insurance product, which differs from traditional models where the interest rate is declared in advance and the company sets the rates. Instead, it features interest accumulation based in part on movement of three major stock market indices. The company claims this model offers greater interest potential. Paul Courtney, chief commercial officer of Sun Life Financial International, said: “All of our offerings are designed for global clients who seek to protect and grow their legacy for future generations. In particular, Optima is designed for those clients who seek potentially higher cash accumulation value with the protection of minimum guarantees and death benefit.” Niall O’Hare, chief executive officer of Sun Life Financial International, said: “We will continue working to bring competitive products to the market, creating more product choices for our high-net-worth clients.” However, Sun Global Optima is not available for citizens or residents of Bermuda, Canada or the US. Sun Life Financial focuses on high-net-worth life and wealth solutions for families in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. It has operations in the UK, Ireland, Canada, the US, Australia and a number of Asian countries, and has total assets under management of $986 billion.

2017. February 27. Bermuda financial watchdogs have slapped a $1.5 million fine on financial services firm Sun Life Financial Investments for failing to comply with anti-money laundering and antiterrorist financing laws. And the Bermuda Monetary Authority has banned the Hamilton-based firm from accepting or looking for any new investment business, as well as blocking any redemptions or withdrawals from existing accounts and policies unless it is vetted by an approved third party. In addition, the BMA has halted any new payments into existing policies and accounts, while Sun Life Financial Investments will have to prove that is making “significant progress” to bring existing files up to the legal standard and to complete the work within two years. The BMA said: “The authority considered that it was necessary to impose these restrictions to reduce the risk of money laundering/terrorist financing and because it was in the best interests of the investors. The restrictions will remain in place until the authority is satisfied by way of independent verification, the costs of which are to be met by the company, that the company is fully compliant with its obligations.” The breaches were discovered during an on-site review of the company’s activities conducted by the BMA last May. After that, the statutory process was followed, culminating in a 28-day appeal period which ended last Friday. The decision was not appealed. The BMA added that some of the findings represented failings of the company to adequately remediate similar findings from an on-site review conducted in 2013. The BMA report said: “The authority views these breaches as serious because of their extent and duration, and because they demonstrated systemic weaknesses in the company’s internal AML/ATF controls. The Regulations have been in effect since 2009. This case highlights the importance of licensees having in place up-to-date AML/ATF policies and procedures which are appropriate, effective and fully implemented in order to avoid the risk of financial products being used as a vehicle for money laundering or terrorist financing. In determining the appropriate level for these civil penalties, the authority took account of the fact that in December 2015 the company closed its investment business to new sales. The authority also took account of the company’s full co-operation during the on-site process. The company has agreed to implement enhanced controls to ensure compliance in the future.” Niall O’Hare, president, Sun Life Financial Investments, said: “We are aware of the announcement today from the Bermuda Monetary Authority regarding the closed investments business of Sun Life Financial Investments (Bermuda) Ltd. This business has been closed to new sales since January 1, 2016. We are working cooperatively with the Bermuda Monetary Authority and have agreed to implement appropriate controls to ensure that we are in compliance with both the license restrictions and applicable regulations moving forward. We place the highest priority on compliance with all requirements and regulations and on meeting our obligations to clients.”

Sustainable Forestry Management 2017. November 7. BBC London reported that Paradise Papers show the Duchy of Cornwall in 2007 secretly bought shares worth $113,500 in this Bermuda company that would benefit from a rule change. Prince Charles, who owns and controls the Duchy was a friend of a director of Sustainable Forestry Management Ltd. The Duchy of Cornwall says he has no direct involvement in its investments. A Clarence House spokesman said the Prince of Wales had "certainly never chosen to speak out on a topic simply because of a company that it [the Duchy of Cornwall] may have invested in. In the case of climate change his views are well-known, indeed he has been warning of the threat of global warming to our environment for over 30 years. Carbon markets are just one example that the prince has championed since the 1990s and which he continues to promote today."

Teekay Corporation Belvedere Building, Pitts Bay Road. Has two other Bermuda-incorporated/based entities, see below. Teekay has a fleet of 173 ships. They carry crude, refined petroleum products, liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, 6 of them Aframax. The latter can move about 600,000 barrels of oil. Suezmaxes can carry about one million barrels. In October 2011 Teekay Corp and the Japanese group Marubeni have bought Danish shipping and oil group AP Moller-Maersk A/S’s liquefied natural gas unit (LNG). The two buyers acquired acquire joint ownership interest in eight LNG carriers in a $1.4 billion deal on a cash and debt-free basis.
Teekay GP LLC As above. Belvedere Building, Pitts Bay Road.
Teekay LNG Partners LP As above. Belvedere Building, Pitts Bay Road.

2019. October 2. Operations of this Bermuda-based liquefied natural gas tanker company have been disrupted by US sanctions. Teekay LNG Partners said its joint venture shipping natural gas from Northern Russia to China was “blocked” because of ties to Chinese shipping company Cosco — accused by the US of carrying Iranian crude oil. The Yamal LNG joint venture was termed a “blocked person” under the sanctions, Teekay said, because its partner China LNG Shipping (Holding) is half-owned by Cosco Dalian. “As a result of CLNG’s 50 per cent interest, the Yamal LNG Joint Venture also currently qualifies as a ‘Blocked Person’ under OFAC rules,” Teekay said, referring to the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. “Teekay Group has not traded and will not trade with Iran and will not act in contravention of any trading sanctions,” Teekay said. The news triggered a more than 10 per cent fall in shares of Teekay LNG on New York’s Nasdaq Stock Exchange this week. Parent company Teekay Group also postponed the investor day in New York that it had planned to host today, “in order to fully focus on avoiding undue disruption to Teekay LNG’s business” as a result of the sanctions’ impact, the company said. Teekay said it was “working with its joint venture partner to expeditiously resolve this issue”. The Yamal LNG Joint Venture owns six Arc7 LNG carriers, icebreaker tankers designed to operate year-round transporting gas from the plant on the Yamal peninsula in northern Russia and to break up sea ice up to eight feet thick.

The company said the new website, which can be found at telebermuda.com marked the successful completion of its acquisition transition phase, and a new chapter in its evolution. Nearly 19 months ago, Bermudian companies East End Group and Celeritas Ltd partnered to purchase TBi. TBi is a provider of high-quality voice, internet, and managed IT services, as well as the owner of the wireless internet service provider, Bluewave, the company said. The fresh look for TBi reflects its future direction as the parent company of a diverse group of fibre and wireless communications services providers, the company said. Nick Faries, chief executive officer of TBi, said: “Since December 2018, the management and staff have worked hard to leverage the strategic alliance and synergies between TBi and Bluewave, Bermuda’s newest wireless ISP. We have built on each entity’s core competencies to solidify their positions as reliable providers of innovative products and services.” He added: “We have invested millions into improving the network, operating infrastructure, new integrated billing system, and enhancing the customer experience for all TBi and Bluewave clients. The new website is the next step in our strategic plan to grow and diversify TBi into Bermuda’s most trusted telecommunications company.” The website was created, the company said, to inform Bermuda and the world about its mission and vision for the future. The East End Group is a diversified holding company with business interests spread among different lines of business. This strategic diversification spreads the company’s risk and helps the group to achieve economic benefits, the company said. Celeritas Ltd is a privately-held telecommunications investment company and a subsidiary of the Mayfair Group.

2017. December 29. Telecommunications firm TeleBermuda International Ltd was bought out by the East End Group in partnership with Celeritas Ltd. EEG owns the wireless internet service provider Bluewave and is a public safety and wireless communications provider. Celeritas is a Bermuda-based telecommunication investment firm and a subsidiary of the Mayfair Group. TBi provides voice and internet services, as well as managed information technology services. In a press release today, the EEG stated: “This acquisition ensures that TBi will continue to provide the highest level of service to their clients, and more importantly, remain a Bermudian-owned company. The purchase also offers the opportunity to leverage synergies between EET, TBi and Bluewave, Bermuda’s newest high-speed wireless internet service provider. The aim is to build on each company’s core competencies to solidify their positions as consistent providers of innovative products and services. To ensure a seamless transition for TBi clients, its current president Greg Swan will be retained during the transition period. TBi clients will be directly contacted regarding this acquisition. It is anticipated that the immediate impact on their accounts will be insignificant.”

TF Holdings A Bermuda-based holding company that indirectly owns 80 per cent of Tenke Fungurume Mining SA.

2016. May 10. LONDON (Bloomberg) — Freeport-McMoRan Inc agreed to sell its Democratic Republic of Congo copper mine to China Molybdenum Co for $2.65 billion as the Phoenix-based company reduces debt racked up in the commodities boom. China Molybdenum will acquire Freeport’s indirect 56 per cent stake in the Tenke Fungurume mine, which also produces cobalt, via a 70 per cent interest in Bermuda-based TF Holdings Ltd, Freeport said in statement yesterday. The two companies also agreed to negotiate the sale of its interests in other cobalt assets. Freeport, which plunged 71 per cent last year as commodity prices collapsed, has been seeking to offload assets and reduce a debt load that stood at $20 billion at the end of 2015. Chief executive officer Richard Adkerson said last month he expected to sell more mines and the Tenke deal brings the total to more than $4 billion this year. “This transaction is another significant step to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance value for shareholders,” Adkerson said in the statement.  Freeport has 70 per cent of TF Holdings and an effective 56 per cent interest in Tenke. Freeport shares fell 10.8 per cent in New York trading yesterday. The stock has rallied more than 70 per cent this year. Tenke is one of Freeport’s five so-called core mines, which also include Cerro Verde and Morenci, as well as El Abra in Chile and Grasberg in Indonesia. Canada’s Lundin Mining Corp owns 24 per cent of Tenke, while Gecamines, Congo’s state-owned copper producer, holds 20 per cent. Lundin hasn’t received a notice from Freeport about the sale, chief executive officer Paul Conibear said in an e-mailed response to questions yesterday. Lundin has the right to match any offer for Freeport’s stake, and has 90 days after receiving notification to make the decision, he said. As part of the Tenke sale, Freeport may get a further $120 million based on copper and cobalt prices. It also agreed to negotiate exclusively with China Molybdenum on the sale of its interests in Freeport Cobalt, including the Kokkola Cobalt Refinery in Finland for $100 million and the Kisanfu Exploration project in the DRC for $50 million. For Freeport, the deal would allow it to meet requirements with creditors to avoid having to provide collateral for its revolver and term loan. The producer of gold, silver and copper agreed in February to sell a 13 per cent stake in the Morenci mine in Arizona to Sumitomo Metal Mining Co for $1 billion.

   
Thema Fund 2017. June 29. Bermuda-based investment fund Thema is to fork out $130 million to repay victims of US fraudster Bernie Madoff. Thema was among many feeder funds that directed cash to Madoff’s New York-based investment advisory business, often without their clients’ knowledge. Thousands of investors lost around $17.5 billion in principal after the 2008 collapse of the Ponzi scheme run by Madoff, who was sentenced to 150 years in prison in 2009. Thema itself lost around $1 billion. Details of the settlement, announced yesterday by Securities Investment Protection Act trustee Irving Picard, were filed in a US Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. Stephen Harbeck, CEO of the industry-financed Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which hired Mr Ricard, said the Thema settlement, together with a $240 million settlement by Lagoon Investment, based in the British Virgin Islands, were “significant accomplishments” given the difficulty of recovering funds from offshore accounts. He added: “Recovering funds from offshore defendants is always challenging. The settlements announced today represent significant accomplishments by the SIPA trustee and his legal team.” Oren Warshavsky, a partner in law firm BakerHostetler, which worked with Mr Picard, added: “Settlements like these are highly beneficial to Madoff’s victims. Not only do we resolve all claims, but we also avoid litigation, which can delay additional restitutions to Madoff’s victims. Together, the settlements represent slightly more than a one per cent increase in recovery for future distributions to customers with allowed claims.” Under the agreement, Thema and Lagoon will turn over all the money they withdrew from their accounts in the six-year period before Madoff’s arrest. The settlement clears the way for the funds to get approved claims in the bankruptcy case, meaning they will get a share in Mr Picard’s recoveries and distribute the money to their own customers. The case involved Thema Fund Ltd and Thema Wise Investments, with the Thema funds based in the British Virgin Islands. Thema and Lagoon were among a dozen funds that used HSBC Holdings as a custodian. Mr Picard sued the London-based bank for $9 billion in 2010 for allegedly aiding Madoff’s fraud through the network of feeder funds, but lost the case, as well as cases against other banks with Madoff connections, on the grounds that trustees can only collect money owed to the estate, not sums owed to creditors. The deals with Thema and Lagoon were announced only a day after the estates of Madoff’s dead sons, Andrew and Mark, agreed to pay a total of $23 million to settle lawsuits by Mr Picard which accused them of profiting from their father’s fraud for years. Mr Picard has so far raised more than $11.6 billion for victims through hundreds of lawsuits against funds and customers who profited from the Madoff scam.
Third Point Reinsurance As above. Co-founded by hedge-fund manager Dan Loeb. Owned by Third Point LLC.

2018. May 9. Third Point Reinsurance reported a net first-quarter loss of $26 million as investment valuations fell — but gross premiums more than doubled. The Bermuda-based company, whose investments are managed by Dan Loeb’s Third Point LLC hedge fund, said the loss broke down to 26 cents per share, compared to earnings of 98 cents per share in the first quarter of 2017. Diluted book value per share decreased by 26 cents, or 1.7 per cent, to $15.39 as of March 31, 2018, down from $15.65 as of the end of last year. “During the first quarter, we generated premiums written of $378 million, an increase of 159 per cent compared to the prior year’s quarter,” Rob Bredahl, Third Point Re’s chief executive officer, said. Our combined ratio for the quarter was 104.5 per cent, compared to 106.3 per cent in the prior year’s first quarter. We experienced significant premium growth in the first quarter compared to the prior year, driven by new business and the timing of certain renewals. We were pleased with the business written during the quarter, which was generally at improved terms and underlying pricing. We expect this to contribute to an improvement in our underwriting results as this premium is earned. Our investment returns and overall return on equity reflected a modest loss for the quarter, however, we remain confident that the improvements in our underwriting results as well as Third Point LLC’s proven track record will generate attractive returns to our shareholders over time.”

   
Third Point Reinsurance 2019. August 9. Third Point Re is beefing up its presence in property catastrophe and specialty lines. In the first six months of this year it had gross premiums written of $402.2 million, of which property catastrophe totaled about $57 million. The reinsurer yesterday reported second-quarter profit of $53.1 million, or 57 cents per share, up from $19.6 million a year ago. Although it made a net underwriting loss, the gap has narrowed, reflected in a combined ratio that has dropped from 103.6 per cent a year ago, to 101.1 per cent. The company is on target to hit its goal of underwriting profitability, subject to catastrophe events, by year end. Third Point Re’s investments are managed by Dan Loeb’s Third Point LLC hedge fund. The reinsurer’s investment return for the first six months of the year was 10.3 per cent. As it released its second-quarter results, the company announced that Sid Sankaran, formerly chief risk officer and chief financial officer at AIG, has joined its board.

The acquisition included Omega’s subsidiaries Omega General Insurance Company and Focus Group, Inc. Omega has more than $40 million in assets and has been operating since 2004. Till, with a Bermuda-domiciled reinsurance company with a Class 3A reinsurance licence, has been structured to produce underwriting profits from reinsurance policies, as well as above average returns on assets under management.

Tokyo Millennium Re (TMR)

2020. January 7. RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd has announced an underwritten public secondary offering of more than 1.7 million of its common shares by Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. The selling shareholder will receive all of the net proceeds from this offering. No shares are being sold by RenRe. The shares would be valued at about $333.9 million, based on the Bermudian reinsurer’s closing share price of $192.01 on Monday. RenRe acquired Tokio Millennium Re in a $1.5 billion cash-and-shares deal from the Japanese-based Tokio Marine Group in March last year. Morgan Stanley & Co LLC is acting as the sole underwriter for the offering. The underwriter may offer the shares from time to time in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares are being offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2019. January 24. About a third of the staff at Tokio Millennium Re’s Bermuda operation will be let go after the company’s takeover by RenaissanceRe Holdings. About two-thirds of the 69 employees have been offered new deals or transition opportunities, RenRe said yesterday. “Starting this week, we began communicating with employees of Tokio Millennium Re about our intentions regarding personnel once our acquisition closes,” RenRe stated in response to our questions. In Bermuda, we extended offers of full-time employment or meaningful transitional roles to just over two-thirds of the organisation. Additionally there are a number of open positions at RenaissanceRe available for TMR staff to apply. We placed a hold on hiring new positions immediately following the announcement of the deal to make available as many roles as possible. Mergers and acquisitions frequently create overlaps in roles and functions, and RenaissanceRe and TMR are both reinsurance-focused organisations. We undertook a thoughtful process to arrive at our personnel decisions, and our analysis has focused on identifying redundancies and planning for the needs of the combined organisation. This has only furthered our appreciation of the excellent franchise TMR has built, and everyone at RenaissanceRe is looking forward to welcoming our new colleagues once the transaction closes. Our combined company will be a larger, more diversified global reinsurer with broader reach and extended capacity to serve clients worldwide, while grounded in our Bermuda roots and committed to our island home.” The transaction is expected to close in the first half of this year. TMR, which is headquartered in Switzerland, has a branch office in Bermuda, based at offices in Chesney House on Pitts Bay Road. RenRe said at the time the deal was announced that it expected to achieve “material synergies” within the first two years — language that normally refers to cost reductions. It is understood that some of the positions made redundant were in Tokio Solution Management Ltd, TMR’s Bermudian-based fronting and third-party capital management unit. Kevin O’Donnell, RenRe’s chief executive officer, made clear in last October’s third-quarter earnings conference call with analysts that this part of the business was not a good fit for RenRe. Mr O’Donnell said at the time: “The transaction includes TMR’s fronting business, which is a very different business than our third-party ventures business.” Lovitta Foggo, the labour minister, said last night that the Department of Workforce Development was ready to help those made redundant with the offer of services including resume development, interview preparation, career guidance, sponsorship and funding for retraining, assistance with obtaining professional credential, networking and job search assistance. Ms Foggo said, “Although this acquisition may create avenues for new job opportunities for some, I remain extremely sympathetic to those experiencing redundancy or career disruption and the anxieties that they and their families might be feeling.”

2018. October 30. Bermuda-based reinsurer RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd (RenRe) has agreed to buy Tokio Millennium Re, part of the Tokyo Marine Group, in a cash-and-shares deal worth $1.5 billion. The agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2019 and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. No shareholder approval is required, RenRe said in a statement released this evening. TMR is the reinsurance platform of Japanese company, Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc and has a branch office in Bermuda, a headquarters in Switzerland, and operations in the UK, US and Australia. The company was originally established by Tokio Marine Group in Bermuda in 2000. RenRe also announced that US insurer State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company has agreed to invest $250 million in the Bermuda-based reinsurer through its purchase of RenRe’s common shares in a private placement. After completion of the deal, State Farm will own about 4.8 per cent of RenRe’s common shares. State Farm already has investments in RenaissanceRe-managed vehicles Top Layer Reinsurance Ltd and DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. Kevin O’Donnell, chief executive officer of RenRe, told The Royal Gazette in an e-mailed statement: “We are pleased to announce our planned acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re. The transaction accelerates our strategy and further enhances our global reinsurance leadership. “It strengthens our position in an increasingly competitive market by expanding our scale, global presence and product range, and enhances the diversity of products and services we offer client and brokers. Tokio Millennium built a strong franchise and we look forward to operating as one company after closing. We are also pleased to simultaneously announce that State Farm has agreed to broaden its relationship with us through this new investment. State Farm’s investment extends the longstanding partnership between our two firms. I’m excited about what the future will bring and know that RenaissanceRe is ideally positioned for what’s next.” Under the terms of the transaction, Tokio Marine will receive 1.02 times the tangible book value of TMR delivered to RenaissanceRe at closing. If closing tangible book value is unchanged from June 30, 2018, Tokio Marine would receive approximately $1.5 billion in total consideration, consisting of cash and RenaissanceRe common shares. RenRe expects the acquisition will be immediately accretive to book value, operating earnings and operating return on equity. Tokio Marine has agreed to provide RenaissanceRe a $500 million adverse development cover that will protect TMR’s stated reserves at closing, including unearned premium reserves. In addition, Tokio Marine and RenaissanceRe will enter a business co-operation agreement, which will enhance their business relationship and facilitate co-operation on a portion of the international reinsurance purchases of Tokio Marine and its affiliates. Paul Smith, State Farm executive vice-president, said: “We see this as an opportunity to strengthen the long term relationship we have with RenaissanceRe.”

Transglobe Private Trust Company 6/21/2002. 2013. April 10. Winston Wong, the son of Formosa Plastics Group’s late founder Wang Yung-ching, sued an adviser for transferring the bulk of the family fortune valued at $15 billion into Bermuda trusts controlled by other family members. Dr Winston Wong is the eldest son of YC Yang. The Bermuda court  was asked to recognize and resolve the injustice perpetrated on his father, on his heirs, the shareholders of FPG, and on the people and government of Taiwan. Bermuda is the fourth jurisdiction where Wong filed claims to recover the estate of his father, which he said is valued at $18 billion. Bloomberg reported that Hung, Wong’s half-sisters Susan Wang and Sandy Wang, as well as group Chairman William Wong and Wilfred Wang are among the trusts’ managers. Wang died in the US in 2008 at the age of 91. He founded Taiwan’s biggest diversified industrial company, Formosa Plastics Group, which made pretax profit of NT$143 billion ($4.8 billion) in 2011, according to the company’s website. The group has worldwide assets valued at more than $85 billion and employs 100,000 people, according to the lawsuit. The case is Between Wong Wen-Young and Grand View Private Trust Co. in the Supreme Court of Bermuda. “We are seeking to invalidate the transfers and get a declaration that the assets are held for all the heirs of Y.C. Wang,” Mark Stoutenburg, Wong’s lawyer, said. Frank Fu, a spokesman for the Formosa Plastics Group, declined to comment on the lawsuit when reached by phone by Bloomberg. In a statement put out, Dr Winston Wong, eldest son of YC Yang, said 90 percent of his personal fortune was allegedly transferred without his consent. The statement said the Bermuda outcome could determine control of Formosa Plastics Group, and that the offshore trusts are the largest shareholders of "Four Treasures." The statement said: “Dr Wong conducted an extensive four-year investigation that revealed the following key findings: 1) that the trusts are non-charitable; 2) that the trusts were established in secret by a minority of Y.C. Wang's family; 3) that the assets were transferred into the trusts without his father's consent; and 4) the trust assets should have been declared as part of his late father's estate.” Dr Wong's lawsuit focuses on the contention that the transfer of YC Wang's assets into the trusts is invalid and he seeks to have these assets returned to their rightful owners: Y.C. Wang's estate and legal heirs. The lawsuit names as defendants, the Grand View Private Trust Company Ltd. (established in 2001), Transglobe Private Trust Company Ltd. (2002), Vantura Private Trust Company Ltd. (2005) and Universal Link Private Trust Company Ltd. (2005), all of which are incorporated in Bermuda. Mr Hung Wen Hsiung, the late Y.C. Wang's long-time personal financial advisor, is also named as a defendant for his role in creating the trusts and transferring Y.C. Wang's assets to the trusts. Mr Stoutenburg noted: "It's impossible to believe that the late YC Wang gave the required consent and approved the transfer of his immense fortune to these four trusts. There is no evidence that Mr Wang knew that the transfer of these assets would permanently strip him of his ownership of them and give control of the assets to just a tiny minority of his large family. The Bermuda trusts together hold approximately 90 percent of YC Wang's personal fortune. "Given YC Wang's famously meticulous attention to detail, it is inconceivable that he would have approved transactions of such magnitude and importance without being involved in every step. There is no evidence, however, that he ever saw, read or signed any of the complex documents establishing the trusts — which were written in English, a language neither he nor his advisor Mr Hung could speak or read. The defendants and their agents do not deny these facts," he continued. "This has led Dr Wong to the inevitable conclusion that his father was deceived." Stoutenburg explains: "The Wang Chang Gung Charitable Trust, established by YC Wang and named in honor of Dr Wong's grandfather, was the blueprint for Mr Wang's charitable giving. He was very detailed and specific about its mission, its management, and its financing. He included his entire family. He did nothing in secret. He left nothing to chance. He made everything transparent. The Bermuda trusts, established in secret, with no clear charitable mission or activity, stand in stark contrast to this and are trying to hide behind the good deeds of the Wang Chang Gung Charitable Trust. The purpose trusts were established offshore in Bermuda to avoid scrutiny in Taiwan and so that they could be hidden from Y.C. Wang's estate. Despite repeated requests, no proof has been provided about the purported charitable activities of the trusts, nor has Dr Wong's widespread investigation turned up any evidence that the Bermuda trusts are engaged in any charitable activities." In summary, says Stoutenburg: "The evidence indicates that the Bermuda trusts were primarily established to: 1) secretly ensure that the control of FPG was kept in the hands of a few family insiders and guarantee that other family members could not inherit significant shares upon YC Wang's death; 2) drastically reduce YC Wang's estate; 3) obscure the true ownership of FPG under the guise of foreign investors; and 4) hold the assets of a vast, global business empire controlled by a few members of the family. All of this was done offshore to avoid the scrutiny of Taiwan regulators." The statement added Dr Wong's lawyers assert that the people who control the trusts have unchecked and unregulated power to do whatever they like with the billions of dollars of assets in the trusts. There are no outside authorities or government bodies in Bermuda that actively supervise the trusts or the billions of dollars worth of assets they control. To the contrary, these offshore purpose trusts, named in Dr Wong's lawsuit, are controlled and self-supervised by the same people who benefit from the decisions they make, the statement said, going on to say: “The lawsuit, which marks a critical point in Dr Wong's long-standing efforts to restore his late father's legacy, has profound implications for the future of FPG. If the Bermuda court rules that the transfer of YC Wang's FPG stake to the offshore trusts should be undone, it would affect the current management and control of FPG.

tribeOS 2019. February 22. This company that has been approved to offer the second token under Bermuda’s Initial Coin Offering Act, is aiming to raise $45 million during the next 12 months. That funding will be used to complete the development of a digital advertising marketplace, that it says will be “ad fraud free”, and to launch it in the second half of the year. Matt Gallant, chief executive officer of Bermuda-registered tribeOS, said there is a likelihood the company will have staff on the island as it rolls out its platform. TribeOS has about 20 employees at present, and has a team of technology engineers in Bosnia. Last August, it raised $3 million in seed funding from Bitmain Technology, a developer of bitcoin mining products. This month, the company announced it had been approved to offer its token, called Fire, under Bermuda’s Initial Coin Offering Act 2018. It is the first security token, and second token in general, to be approved under the island’s new regulations. The token enables investors to participate in revenue sharing in tribeOS. The company aims to combat the problem of online ad fraud. Industry statistics point to $51 million being stolen each day from digital ad programs through ad fraud. Advertisers pay a fee for online views or “clicks” on their adverts, but can be cheated by fraudulent clicks, spambots and phantom views. TribeOS is integrating blockchain with two of its own technologies, AdShield and Golden Lantern, to create a solution. Mr Gallant explained that AdShield will block fraudulent activity, such views and clicks created by bots [autonomous computer programs], click farms and people attempting to cheat the system. He said part of AdShield will be put on the blockchain, thereby allowing advertisers to verify that they are getting legitimate hits on their ads. “Blockchain will show what is happening,” Mr Gallant said. The almost tamper-proof nature of a blockchain ledger will give advertisers reassurance as they directly pay publishers on bids for web traffic in real time, with performance and transactions verified on the blockchain. “Golden Lantern is the final piece of the puzzle,” said Mr Gallant. It is an ad management platform that includes web tracking and focuses on attribution. Through the tribeOS system it will allow advertisers to track, verify and report on traffic — that is the views and interactions from online users — that they are purchasing. The company searched for a supportive jurisdiction in which to set up, and picked Bermuda. “We spent a lot of time looking at all the options. [Bermuda] had the clearest legislation out of any country that we looked at,” Mr Gallant said. He has previously praised the island for setting itself apart from others by showing commitment to legitimizing digital assets and tokens, and passing the Initial Coin Offering Act, and the Digital Asset Business Act 2018. Looking ahead, he said tribeOS will continue raising funds in the second quarter, and launch its platform in the third. He added: “We are bringing in advertiser with letters of intent. Advertisers want to solve the problem.”

Triton International (TIL) 2020. February 19. Bermuda-based Triton International, the world’s largest lessor of shipping containers, says it expects the coronavirus-driven slowdown in Asian shipping activity to continue at least until mid-March. The company announced fourth-quarter 2019 net income of $77.5 million, down 14.4 per cent from the corresponding period of 2018. For the full year, net income was $339 million, up slightly on 2018. Brian Sondey, Triton’s chairman and chief executive officer, said Triton’s performance was solid in 2019, although impacted by “soft global economic conditions and disruptions caused by the trade dispute between the United States and China”. He had a cautious outlook for the first quarter, given that it traditionally represents the slow season for dry containers. Mr Sondey said Triton was paying close attention to developments with the coronavirus outbreak, which started in China. The global death toll rose to 1,875 yesterday, with more than 73,000 cases reported. “First and foremost, we are focused on the health and safety of our employees,” Mr Sondey said. “Despite the challenges presented by the current situation, we remain fully operational. At the same time, we expect the current slowdown in shipping activity in Asia to extend for at least the next month. Beyond then, the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on our business is unclear.” Mr Sondey said Triton had been seeing a pick-up in business during December and January, after progress in US-China trade negotiations. Container utilisation averaged 96.9 per cent in 2019, Triton said. Triton repurchased 6.9 million of its common shares during last year, or about 8.8 per cent of the outstanding total at the start of 2019. Triton’s board of directors announced a quarterly dividend of 52 cents per share.

2019. October 24. Container company Triton International Limited made a profit of $85 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, in the third-quarter. That beat a $1.14 per share consensus expectation by analysts on Yahoo! Finance. The net income was almost $10 million less than the $94.8 million reported in the same period last year. However, the results were described as strong by Brian Sondey, chief executive officer, who noted continued weak leasing demand and a softening of global economic conditions. Triton’s total leasing revenues slipped by just over $13 million, year-on-year, to $336.7 million for the period, which was about $1 million below analysts’ expectations. The Bermuda-based company’s return on equity was stable at 16.1 per cent, compared to 16.9 per cent a year ago. Mr Sondey said: “Triton’s financial performance has remained solid despite facing weak leasing demand since last fall, and leasing activity remained slow throughout the traditional peak third-quarter. Global economic conditions have softened this year, and the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China continues to create uncertainty and impact shipping activity. Fortunately, the supply of containers remains generally well balanced due to reduced production of new containers, and while our utilization continued to gradually trend down during the third quarter, it remains strong at 96.1 per cent as of October 18. Triton’s financial performance has also been supported by our industry-leading cost structure and operating capabilities, our well-protected long-term lease portfolio, and disciplined use of our strong cash-flow.” The company repurchased 1.6 million of its common shares during the third-quarter. Discussing the outlook for the company, Mr Sondey said: “Our customers and market forecasters have reduced their expectations for containerized trade growth this year following the weak summer peak season, and most are currently projecting growth will be just slightly positive in 2019. We are also heading into the seasonally slower time of year. As a result, we expect our key operating metrics will continue to gradually decrease over the next several quarters. However, the short ordering cycle for containers and multiple drivers for container leasing demand typically limit the duration of soft market conditions, and we continue to benefit from numerous advantages and strong, stable cash-flow.” Overall, we expect our adjusted net income per share will decrease from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, though we also expect our financial performance will remain solid.”

2019. July 26. Bermuda-based Triton International Ltd, the world’s largest lessor of shipping containers, reported net income of $86.4 million for the second quarter amid uncertainty in the shipping industry caused by trade disputes. The profit was slightly lower than the $88.9 million Triton reported in last year’s second quarter, but on a per-share basis this year’s results were better at $1.15, compared to $1.10 last year. Brian Sondey, chief executive officer of Triton, described the result as “solid” and said the company realised an annualized return on equity of 16.2 per cent. “Triton faced mixed market conditions in the second quarter,” Mr Sondey said. “While container supply and demand were generally well balanced, lease transaction and container pick-up activity remained slow despite the start of the traditional summer peak season. Global economic conditions have softened this year, and the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China continues to create uncertainty and impact shipping activity. Our utilization continued to gradually trend down during the second quarter, though it remains strong at 96.8 per cent as of July 19, 2019.” Second-quarter leasing revenues totaled $338.6 million, up from $329.8 million in the same period last year. Triton said it has spent $146.7 million on containers for delivery this year. It also repurchased third-party partnership interests in one of its container-owning subsidiaries for $103 million. Triton declared a dividend of 52 cents per share on its common stock, payable on September 26 to shareholders of record as of September 5. Shares of Triton fell 3.4 per cent on New York’s Nasdaq stock exchange yesterday to close on $33.09. The company repurchased 2.3 million shares during the quarter. As of July 19, Triton has bought back 7.1 million shares, since its board initiated the buyback programme in August last year, leading to an 8.8 per cent reduction in its diluted share count. Mr Sondey added: “Our customers expect trade growth will be modestly positive this year, and we expect container demand will improve somewhat as we move deeper into the summer. However, we expect third quarter leasing activity will be less than usual due to the slow start for the peak season and the lack of resolution for the trade dispute between the United States and China.”

2018. August 7. Triton International saw its profit increase to $104.9 million in the second quarter, or $1.30 per share, an improvement of 30 per cent on the first three months of this year. The Bermuda-registered company is the world’s largest lessor of intermodal freight containers. Its earnings result included a one-off $21 million gain from the sale of a building. The sale of the building also increased the company’s effective tax rate to 13 per cent. Triton’s adjusted net income was $88.9 million, or $1.10 per share, which was up 11.1 per cent on the first quarter. Brian Sondey, chief executive officer, noted that the company has generated an annualized return on equity of 16.4 per cent. He said container pick-up activity was near record levels in May and June, which reflected ongoing trade growth and the start of the peak season for dry containers. Utilization level of Triton’s leased containers averaged 98.8 per cent, while the company also benefited from higher sale prices for its used containers. Mr Sondey said trade growth and container demand have not been impacted by the threat of trade actions or the initial round of new tariffs implemented between the US and China. He added: “However, the US has disclosed an expanded list of products that will likely become subject to increased tariffs later in the third quarter. The potential for expanded tariffs is adding uncertainty to our market, though our customers and market forecasters are still expecting global container volumes to increase in 2018.” Triton has ordered $1.4 billion of containers for delivery this year and expects its revenue-earning assets will grow by about 10 per cent during 2018. Looking ahead, Mr Sondey said: “We are starting the second half of 2018 with strong operating and financial momentum. Container pick-up activity and lease deal activity remain strong, and our key operating metrics remain at high levels. Based on the continued growth in our container fleet, continued high utilization and the currently limited impacts from the tariffs, we expect our adjusted net income to increase sequentially throughout the balance of the year.” The company’s board has authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of its shares. Mr Sondey said: “Given the strong market environment and sizeable attractive investment opportunities, we will continue to prioritise organic investment and growth as the primary use for our capital. However, we believe that an opportunistic share repurchase programme could complement our dividend as another avenue for providing returns to shareholders.”

2018. February 27. A one-time tax benefit of $139.4 million helped lift Triton International Ltd’s fourth-quarter profit to $207.2 million, or $2.57 per share. That compares with a profit of $57.2 million in the preceding quarter, and $22.8 million for the same quarter in 2016. The Bermudian-based container company had income before income taxes of $86.7 million, and adjusted pre-tax income of $84.9 million, or $1.05 per share. The company benefited from favorable market conditions and an increased demand for leased containers, with utilization averaging 98.3 per cent for the fourth quarter and 96.9 per cent for the year. Brian Sondey, chief executive officer of Triton International, said the company’s leasing revenue and margins continued to grow as a large number of new containers went on-hire. He said: “Our ability to step in to the supply gap created by the combination of stronger than expected trade growth and constrained buying by many of our customers and several other leasing companies reinforced our position with the world’s largest shipping lines and enhanced our strong reputation for reliability.” Triton saw fourth-quarter benefits that included $6.8 million in insurance receipts related to lost leasing revenue due to the default of Hanjin Shipping in 2016, and an income tax benefit of $139.4 million related to the revaluation of Triton’s deferred tax liability as a result of the reduction in the US statutory corporate tax rate. Mr Sondey added: “We expect market conditions will remain favorable in 2018. Our customers are indicating they expect trade growth will remain solidly positive, and the supply of containers remains well controlled, with a moderate amount of new container inventory and very limited inventories of available used containers.” Triton reported a $344.6 million profit for the year. The company declared a quarterly dividend of 45 cents per share payable on March 28, to shareholders of record as of March 12.

2017. August 10. Economies of scale have helped Bermuda-based Triton International Ltd benefit from stronger than expected demand for shipping containers. In the second quarter its net income was $45.7 million, or 62 cents per share, compared with $34.6 million for the first three months of the year. The company, which a year ago was formed by the merger of Triton Container International and TAL International Group, dominates the shipping container market. During the second quarter it saw a 1.3 per cent increase in utilization of its containers, to 97.1 per cent, and that figure has edged slightly higher since the end of June. Stronger than expected global containerized trade growth this year has boosted revenue, and that trend is expected to continue during the third quarter. Since Triton’s merger last July it has purchased 1.1 million TEU of new and sale-leaseback containers, enhancing its already considerable market reach at a time when some shipping lines and leasing companies have been unable to respond due to lingering financial challenges. The company generated a $9.6 million gain from sales of used containers in the three months to the end of June. The market for used containers has rebounded this year in tandem with rising demand for container usage. Triton’s adjusted pre-tax income was $58.8 million, up from $42.7 million in the first quarter, while adjusted net income was $47 million. Total leasing revenue for the quarter was $281.9 million, up about $16 million on the first three months of the year. Brian Sondey, chief executive officer of Triton, said: “Market conditions remained strong in the second quarter and we continued to benefit from our industry-leading scale, cost structure, and operational capabilities. Our customers are indicating that global containerized trade growth has been stronger than expected this year, and industry forecasters have generally increased their growth projections for 2017 into the range of 5 per cent. In addition, the inventory of new and used containers remains extremely tight, especially for dry containers. New dry container prices have been fairly stable since March in the range of $2,100 to $2,200 for a 20-foot dry container, and market leasing rates for dry containers remain above our portfolio average rates. Used dry container sale prices continued to increase in the second quarter and are now above our accounting residual values. Triton’s financial and operational strength had allowed it to fill a supply gap in the market, mentioning its purchase of 1.1 million TEU of new and leaseback containers. Our ability to quickly and aggressively invest to meet the industry’s container needs plainly demonstrates to customers that Triton is uniquely capable of managing their most critical container requirements.” Mr Sondey expects market condition to remain favorable at least until the end of the year, with the gap between supply and demand for containers remaining tight.

A round of financing from angel investors earlier in 2014 was oversubscribed within 13 days. The firm's backers include a private-equity fund and KPMG Bermuda Holdings, as well as other investors. many of them based in Bermuda.  The company held its official launch at the 2014 Money 20/20 event in Las Vegas. Bermuda-based Mitsubishi UFJ Fund Services (MUFJ), which worked with Trunomi as a co-development partner, believes the company can have a big impact. The firm has created technology solutions that will make people's dealings with financial institutions much smoother for both sides. One aspect of Trunomi’s patent-protected technology is that it allows people to store digital sets of personal identification documents, such as passports and utility bills, in a way that allows it to be easily shared with financial institutions when necessary. The company's TruMobile app allows users to store document sets of personal identity information (Pii) and easily share it with institutions such as banks when necessary. The technology was initially developed for the financial services industry, but it could be applied much more broadly. Founder and chief executive officer Stuart Lacey is the spouse of a Bermudian. For regulated entities such as banks who need to demand a batch of paper documents such as passports and utility bills to verify identities, the TruMobile app will relieve some of the burden of Know Your Customer rules. Trunomi's TruHub is described as an enterprise solution for banks and other regulated entities that leverages cloud-based sharing to remove large-scale duplication and inefficiencies from the customer on-boarding process. TruHub and TruMobile are protected by multiple patents. In January 2015 Trunomi last night received a prestigious international accolade at a ceremony in London.

The invitation-only awards ceremony in the City financial district was attended by senior bank executives, venture capitalists and technology leaders. The judging panel comprised a group of 25 established financial technology specialists. The 50 companies the panel selects are the ones they believe will be “the ones to watch in 2015.” “Fintech”, or financial technology, is a sector undergoing strong growth. According to CB Insights, fintech deals totaled more than $12 billion in 2014.

2018. February 6. Bermuda-based technology start-up Trunomi has raised $3.5 million from investors to fund its expansion. CloudScale Capital Partners, a venture capital firm based in California’s Silicon Valley, said today that it participated in Trunomi’s latest round of financing. Trunomi, a provider of customer consent and data rights and privacy software solutions, will use the financing to help manage the rapid increase in demand for its technologies and to continue its global expansion. “Customer data rights and privacy are quickly becoming major issues of concern for companies, especially financial institutions, due to new regulations such as EU GDPR, UK Open Banking and marketing opportunities,” said Kim Perdikou, CloudScale partner. Trunomi enables businesses to comply with these new regulations by demonstrating compliance and accountability in customer data use and immutably proving the legal basis of processing. With Trunomi, businesses can empower their customers with control and transparency in how their data is used and turn regulation from a burden into a competitive advantage.” Stuart Lacey, Trunomi’s CEO, said: “We are thrilled that CloudScale Capital Partners are part of this financing. CloudScale brings significant strength to our investor base, and its partners bring with them a wealth of industry connections with the largest players in the global customer and data markets.” Trunomi was one of the winners at the Global Fintech Hackcelerator event in Singapore last November.

Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP) 2015. August 28.  The Bosphorus Ltd $100 million catastrophe bond to cover Turkey against earthquakes was set up in Bermuda in 2015. Now TCIP plans to continue to build its relationship with the market. The Bosphorus Ltd bond provides reinsurance protection across three years on a per-occurrence basis for earthquakes in the Istanbul area. The transaction — the second of its kind — was completed with the support of reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter’s investment banking and ILS unit GC Securities. Suha Cele, executive board member of Eureko Sigorta, the insurer that manages TCIP, said: “In view of the constantly growing portfolio of TCIP, our co-operation with the capital markets will continue in the near future, which would allow TCIP to diversify its reinsurance buying and utilise multiyear capacity at a stable price.” He added: “We are proud to be the sponsor of Bosphorus Ltd. Our previous bond, Bosphorus 1 Re was a real success story as it is the first cat bond covering Turkish perils. “We are pleased to see that the second bond is also well accepted by the capital markets, which is showing us also that the bond programme of TCIP is well-established.” The TCIP risk pool has now sourced $500 million in total of catastrophe bond capacity from capital market investors, following the $400 million Bosphorus 1 Re Ltd deal in 2013. The transaction’s trigger is based on ground motion measurements captured by seismometers that are part of the Istanbul Early Warning and Rapid Response System, operated by academic institutions in Turkey. GC Securities global head of ILS structuring Cory Anger said: “We are delighted that TCIP has elected to utilise catastrophe bond-based protection for a second time to complement its traditional reinsurance programme and build upon the success of its initial use of catastrophe bonds.” She added: “The use of an unsubordinated, unsecured note issued by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development as the collateral solution balances giving investors superior investment yield and diversifying the type of collateral solution that are most common in catastrophe bond transactions while maintaining high investment quality for TCIP.”

Ultra 2019. March 29. Bermuda-based digital asset exchange platform Ultra has revealed a new conservation finance mechanism. Ultra Reserve, a new financial token tool for forest and wilderness conservation, was unveiled at the Grounded Summit, a solutions-oriented gathering of scientists, technologists and conservation leaders collaborating on climate change solutions. Ultra Reserve is part of the Ultra digital asset management system and connected to a tokenized asset exchange. Tokenized assets are digital representations of physical assets which can be compiled, managed and exchanged. Ultra is managed by Hub Culture, founder of the cryptocurrency ven. In a statement, Hub Culture said the system enables the protection of forested land and wilderness through direct purchase and placement into trust for perpetual protection. Ultra Reserve tokens, which are digital, liquid and connected to the Ultra Exchange are related to the value of the land under protection are issued for sale or trade linked to the value of that land. Ultra Reserve tokens can be linked to many types of qualified land protection projects where the land is legally preserved from development or in trust. The qualification process for token issuance is managed through a digital contracting and legal terms library managed by Hub Culture, with the first projects linked to land purchases by Hub Culture held in perpetual trust. Aspects of Ultra assets like Ultra Reserve include immutable ledger issuance and blockchain integration of identity and purchase data connected to the project. Trading is connected to ven. Reserve joins Ultra Carbon, a tokenized carbon asset launched in 2018 and available to qualified buyers via Ultra and Hub Culture. Hub Culture said such tokens “help remove externalities from the wider economy by turning them into quantifiable assets. By doing so, the ability for businesses and consumers in the Hub Culture community to tackle grand societal challenges like preservation, climate change and other issues becomes more feasible.”
   
Unikrn Bermuda 2017. October 31. E-sports company Unikrn Bermuda Ltd has made the island’s first cryptocurrency launch. Unikrn describes itself as a “regulated e-sports betting platform” and its freshly launched cryptocurrency is known as UnikoinGold. Bermudian law firm Conyers was involved in the launch and Unikrn raised roughly $31 million in its digital token sale. The e-sports start-up was founded in 2014 with backing from investors like Elisabeth Murdoch, daughter of media baron Rupert Murdoch, and actor Ashton Kutcher. In 2015, Unikrn also received financial backing from Mark Cuban, an American venture capitalist and owner of NBA franchise, the Dallas Mavericks. Conyers said UnikoinGold’s launch had surpassed every other e-sports and gaming token sale to date. For the sale, Unikrn used smart contracts deployed via Ethereum to trade Ether, the cryptocurrency used on the Ethereum blockchain platform. Conyers director, Chris Garrod and associate, Jacqueline King worked on the matter. Rahul Sood, CEO of Unikrn, said: “We see a future where UnikoinGold is in the hands of millions gamers and e-sports fans, ushering in incredible opportunities to use UnikoinGold inside and outside of Unikrn’s own properties.” Commenting on the deal, Chris Garrod said: “We were delighted to work with Unikrn on their launch. As technology and platforms advance within the crypto-sector, we can expect to see more of these transactions. This is especially true as innovations in blockchain continue to evolve”. Bermuda has made important strides to support the technology sector, not only providing an ideal base for these companies to establish, but also acting as a forum for innovation, such as it relates to insurtech.

Universal Link Private Trust Company April 10. The Bermuda Supreme Court must decide a case that involves one of Taiwan’s largest companies and a family fortune worth billions held in trusts on the Island. Winston Wong, the son of Formosa Plastics Group’s late founder Wang Yung-ching, has sued an adviser for transferring the bulk of the family fortune valued at $15 billion into Bermuda trusts controlled by other family members. Dr Winston Wong, eldest son of YC Yang, said in a statement yesterday: "The Bermuda court now has an opportunity to recognize and resolve the injustice that has been perpetrated on my father, on his heirs, the shareholders of FPG, and on the people and government of Taiwan. We trust that justice and truth will prevail." It was pointed out in the statement that Taiwan stood to receive billions in taxes which could help get rid of its deficit. “Additionally, if the Bermuda court declares the transfer of assets to the trusts invalid and turns the assets over to YC Wang's estate, the Taiwanese Government could receive an estimated NT $158.4 billion to NT $237.6 billion in various taxes (US $5.3 billion to US $7.9 billion) — which could eliminate the Government's anticipated 2013 budget deficit of NT $214.4 billion (US$7.15 billion),” the statement said. Hung Wen Hsiung set up the trusts, excluding Wang, referred to in court documents as YC Wang, from the ownership and some members of his direct family as beneficiaries, according to a statement of claim filed by Wong yesterday in the Supreme Court of Bermuda. Bermuda is the fourth jurisdiction where Wong filed claims to recover the estate of his father, which he said is valued at $18 billion. Bloomberg reported that Hung, Wong’s half-sisters Susan Wang and Sandy Wang, as well as group Chairman William Wong and Wilfred Wang are among the trusts’ managers, according to a copy of the court filing. Wang died in the US in 2008 at the age of 91. He founded Taiwan’s biggest diversified industrial company, Formosa Plastics Group, which made pretax profit of NT$143 billion ($4.8 billion) in 2011, according to the company’s website. The group has worldwide assets valued at more than $85 billion and employs 100,000 people, according to the lawsuit. The case is Between Wong Wen-Young and Grand View Private Trust Co. in the Supreme Court of Bermuda. “We are seeking to invalidate the transfers and get a declaration that the assets are held for all the heirs of Y.C. Wang,” Mark Stoutenburg, Wong’s lawyer, said in a phone interview. Frank Fu, a spokesman for the Formosa Plastics Group, declined to comment on the lawsuit when reached by phone by Bloomberg yesterday. In a statement put out, Dr Winston Wong, eldest son of YC Yang, said 90 percent of his personal fortune was allegedly transferred without his consent. The statement said the Bermuda outcome could determine control of Formosa Plastics Group, and that the offshore trusts are the largest shareholders of "Four Treasures." The statement said: “Dr Wong conducted an extensive four-year investigation that revealed the following key findings: 1) that the trusts are non-charitable; 2) that the trusts were established in secret by a minority of Y.C. Wang's family; 3) that the assets were transferred into the trusts without his father's consent; and 4) the trust assets should have been declared as part of his late father's estate.” Dr Wong's lawsuit focuses on the contention that the transfer of YC Wang's assets into the trusts is invalid and he seeks to have these assets returned to their rightful owners: Y.C. Wang's estate and legal heirs. The lawsuit names as defendants, the Grand View Private Trust Company Ltd. (established in 2001), Transglobe Private Trust Company Ltd. (2002), Vantura Private Trust Company Ltd. (2005) and Universal Link Private Trust Company Ltd. (2005), all of which are incorporated in Bermuda. Mr Hung Wen Hsiung, the late Y.C. Wang's long-time personal financial advisor, is also named as a defendant for his role in creating the trusts and transferring Y.C. Wang's assets to the trusts. Mr Stoutenburg noted: "It's impossible to believe that the late YC Wang gave the required consent and approved the transfer of his immense fortune to these four trusts. There is no evidence that Mr Wang knew that the transfer of these assets would permanently strip him of his ownership of them and give control of the assets to just a tiny minority of his large family. The Bermuda trusts together hold approximately 90 percent of YC Wang's personal fortune. "Given YC Wang's famously meticulous attention to detail, it is inconceivable that he would have approved transactions of such magnitude and importance without being involved in every step. There is no evidence, however, that he ever saw, read or signed any of the complex documents establishing the trusts — which were written in English, a language neither he nor his advisor Mr Hung could speak or read. The defendants and their agents do not deny these facts," he continued. "This has led Dr Wong to the inevitable conclusion that his father was deceived." Stoutenburg explains: "The Wang Chang Gung Charitable Trust, established by YC Wang and named in honor of Dr Wong's grandfather, was the blueprint for Mr Wang's charitable giving. He was very detailed and specific about its mission, its management, and its financing. He included his entire family. He did nothing in secret. He left nothing to chance. He made everything transparent. The Bermuda trusts, established in secret, with no clear charitable mission or activity, stand in stark contrast to this and are trying to hide behind the good deeds of the Wang Chang Gung Charitable Trust. The purpose trusts were established offshore in Bermuda to avoid scrutiny in Taiwan and so that they could be hidden from Y.C. Wang's estate. Despite repeated requests, no proof has been provided about the purported charitable activities of the trusts, nor has Dr Wong's widespread investigation turned up any evidence that the Bermuda trusts are engaged in any charitable activities." In summary, says Stoutenburg: "The evidence indicates that the Bermuda trusts were primarily established to: 1) secretly ensure that the control of FPG was kept in the hands of a few family insiders and guarantee that other family members could not inherit significant shares upon YC Wang's death; 2) drastically reduce YC Wang's estate; 3) obscure the true ownership of FPG under the guise of foreign investors; and 4) hold the assets of a vast, global business empire controlled by a few members of the family. All of this was done offshore to avoid the scrutiny of Taiwan regulators." The statement added Dr Wong's lawyers assert that the people who control the trusts have unchecked and unregulated power to do whatever they like with the billions of dollars of assets in the trusts. There are no outside authorities or government bodies in Bermuda that actively supervise the trusts or the billions of dollars worth of assets they control. To the contrary, these offshore purpose trusts, named in Dr Wong's lawsuit, are controlled and self-supervised by the same people who benefit from the decisions they make, the statement said, going on to say: “The lawsuit, which marks a critical point in Dr Wong's long-standing efforts to restore his late father's legacy, has profound implications for the future of FPG. If the Bermuda court rules that the transfer of YC Wang's FPG stake to the offshore trusts should be undone, it would affect the current management and control of FPG.
   
University of Vermont Health Network 2018. January 3. The University of Vermont Health Network is to move its captive insurance company from Bermuda to Vermont. The cost of the move is expected to be between $35,000 and $50,000, and the state of Vermont will collect about $50,000 annually in premium taxes. John Brumsted, chief executive officer of UVM Health Network, said part of the reason for the change was to do business locally where possible, adding: “So we’re happy that being in Vermont is the best business decision in this case.” The decision was taken by the directors of the VMC Indemnity Company, the health network subsidiary that provides medical malpractice insurance coverage for its medical providers. In a statement, the UVM Health Network said the change in location will have no impact on the providers insured by the plan, or on the cost of healthcare in Vermont.

2015. December 16. The company seeking to make major infrastructure investments in Bermuda says its representatives have met with government officials. Urban Maximum Industries, Inc (UMI) said that after the November 25 meeting, the company will go through a “vetting process.” UMI says it has secured the backing of International Asean Corp (IAC), which says it can provide as much as $5 billion for Bermuda projects from its ultra-wealthy investors, who are based in South-East Asia and the Middle East. UMI, which was founded by Bermudians Arthur Brangman and Craig Looby, said: “We are seeking to have our international partners and investors attend a January 2016 meeting, with the Government of Bermuda, as we wish to address the various details face to face.” The company has already expressed interest in developing new green energy infrastructure and a new Causeway. Now it is proposing an alternative to the Government’s plans to redevelop LF Wade International Airport and to create a new monorail transport system for the Island. The statement added: “We fully appreciate and support transparency and in considering the overall programme would suggest that the delivery of a diverse pool of developments, projects and programmes would use a number of standard engagement models, such as sole source deployments, and request for proposals, all of which based on the partnering agreements, would ensure local involvement via employment, contracting, subcontracting and the entire scope of support services: banking, legal, insurance and accounting.” UMI thanked Michael Dunkley, the Premier, and Grant Gibbons, the Economic Development Minister, for agreeing to meet their representatives last month.

The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and has a market capitalization of £461 million ($642 million), with assets of £570 million ($788 million). In today’s statement the company said: “Following a review, the board has concluded that it would be in the company’s best interests to re--domicile to the United Kingdom.” The proposed change will be conditional to the approval of shareholders and being sanctioned by the Supreme Court of Bermuda. The re-domiciliation is to be effected under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. The move will result in the creation of a closed-ended investment trust in the UK, which will be known as Utilico Emerging Markets Trust plc. The company’s statement said the board will not be proposing any changes to the investment management arrangements as a result of the re-domicile and, “other than JP Morgan Chase Bank NA, London Branch who will act as administrator, it is planned that the principal service providers to Utilico Emerging Markets Trust plc will remain the same”.

Vantura Private Trust Company 5/4/2005. April 10. The Bermuda Supreme Court recently had to decide a case that involves one of Taiwan’s largest companies and a family fortune worth billions held in trusts on the Island. Winston Wong, the son of Formosa Plastics Group’s late founder Wang Yung-ching, has sued an adviser for transferring the bulk of the family fortune valued at $15 billion into Bermuda trusts controlled by other family members.

Velocity Ledger Holdings Holding company of those mentioned immediately below.

2019. April 10. Bermuda-based Velocity Ledger Holdings Ltd has been approved to conduct an initial coin offering, or ICO, by the Ministry of Finance. One of VLHL’s subsidiaries, VL Financial, wants to launch a digital asset exchange in Bermuda that would support asset-backed investment and real estate tokens. The company has applied to the Bermuda Monetary Authority for a digital asset business licence. The coin offering is intended to fund the operations of VL Financial and another subsidiary, VL Technology Ltd, a private blockchain enabled platform for the generation of tokenized assets, secondary trading and settlement of trades. A white paper on the offering on Velocity Ledger’s website states that the token exchange rate will be one token to one Bermuda dollar. Investors can buy tokens either with dollars or with the cryptocurrency ethereum. “The maximum amount that the offering can raise is $22 million, assuming that all the tokens offered for sale are sold without discount,” the white paper adds. A statement issued by the company said that VL tokens may be used for payment for licensing VL technology platform and services. Benefits include revenue sharing and monthly distribution of newly minted tokens to stakeholders. Over the five-year revenue-sharing period, from January 2020 to January 2025, the white paper states that 833,333 tokens will be distributed among users every month. The VL token sale was approved on March 22 this year and the ICO is expected to start this month and continue through July 2019. “Bermuda has adopted pragmatic, non-restrictive frameworks for digital assets that provide regulatory certainty to market participants,” Shawn Sloves, CEO of Velocity Ledger, said. “Bermuda will be a focal point for blockchain initiatives globally.” David Burt, the Premier, said: “Velocity Ledger represents the exact kind of company that Bermuda is pleased to attract. They have a traditional finance industry pedigree and are building solutions for the institutional finance market. Their platform will showcase the potential of what fintech and Bermuda have to offer. I am pleased that they have been granted a licence to issue an ICO and will be proceeding to apply for a digital asset business licence. I look forward to them developing their business and creating jobs in Bermuda.”

Velocity Ledger Technology 2019. November 21. Bermuda-based fintech outfit Velocity Ledger Technology Ltd has announced the beta launch of the Velocity News and Research Channel, an information hub to help investors navigate the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem. The company said the platform is a destination for digital assets analytics and market research, giving users insights from a large community of experts working in the blockchain and fintech sectors. VL Tech said the channel includes a research portal, which allows third-party regional and industry experts to contribute their insights to the platform in exchange for performance based payouts in VL tokens or Fiat. Velocity Channel, the company said, is assembling a group of vetted contributors to begin posting to the web application. Eventually, it said it will open up applications to the wider community as it builds a network of researchers that cover technological, legal, and financial developments across many jurisdictions and business sectors. The platform features a 24/7 news feed delivering real-time blockchain and security token offering news aggregated from more than 20 curated publications. The company said it also features an expansive STO database offering in-depth asset profiles of vetted projects across industries and jurisdictions. Shawn Sloves, chief executive officer of VL Tech, said: “Understanding the inherent challenges associated with covering security tokens, a regulatory and technological innovation which crosses jurisdictional lines and has the potential to disrupt the capital formation processes of many industries, our platform draws upon the expertise of a diverse group of researchers to provide users with in depth, actionable insights.” The company said Velocity Channel uses blockchain technology to index and generate hashes of all site activity, allowing the platform to measure content performance and keeping an historical record of changes made to the site. The team plans to use feedback from the beta launch to improve the platform and continue building out new features to enhance their product offering.

Viking River Cruises Advertised extensively in UK, USA, etc. All Bermuda-registered companies of Viking River Cruises feature voyages on Europe's rivers and are advertised extensively on TV and elsewhere in UK and USA. Most passengers are over 60, many from all over the world, particularly the USA, Australia, Canada and UK. Prospective travelers on Viking Longship river cruises should note that mid-range cabins are among the smallest of all river boat services in Europe, only 135 square feet, bathrooms are uncomfortably tiny, internet WIFI is the worst in reliability of all European river cruise vessels, from Spain and so low-powered that guests will not be able to connect most of the time to send or receive files and photographs. When paying guests sign up for their Viking Longship cruises they often include hotels before and after the Viking Longships. In complete contrast to the very cramped cabin and bathroom conditions on board, the before-and-after hotel rooms are very comfortable, at least 2-3 times bigger than the vessels' rooms and bathrooms. Viking charges one of the highest advance deposits for bookings and does not include drinks as standard except for wine or beer at lunch or dinner. In startling contrast to the very high cost of a Viking Longship vacation for a week or 10 days, guests from the UK can book a 2-week stay with premium economy return flights and all drinks included, at a Caribbean beach resort such as Sandals, for appreciably less.

The Act allow the firm to expand the meaning of “insurable interest” to allow it to issue life insurance policies across a wider range. The company will also be allowed to pay out in the event of the death of an insured direct into the relevant segregated account, which also would not have been allowed under the public Act. The private Act was backed by Valor Management, also based in Bermuda. Valor Group is a multibillion dollar group of companies aimed at providing private placement insurance for wealthy clients around the world. Valor Management said that the change in the legal framework would give it “greater flexibility” to create specialized wealth planning and preservation services for its client base.

Watford Holdings Parent company of Bermuda-based Watford Re.

2019. March 28. Bermuda-registered reinsurer Watford Holdings Ltd started trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange today. Existing shareholders of the company, which was founded by Bermudian re/insurer Arch Capital five years ago, were aiming to sell 3.59 million shares in an offering to the public. The company itself was not to receive any proceeds from the offering. Watford was formed in January 2014 and had capital of about $1.1 billion as of the end of last year. It has an outsourced business model, partnering with Arch on the underwriting side, while its investments are overseen by HPS Investment Partners, a New York-based credit investment platform that manages about $47 billion in assets. Arch Re still owns 14.7 per cent of Watford, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No target price for the offering was set. Watford made a net loss of $54.5 million in 2018. Book value at the end of 2018 was $39.22 per share. Trading under the ticker symbol “WTRE”, the company closed on $27 on the trading of 129,131 shares in New York, up 6.9 per cent from its opening price of $25.26, according to Nasdaq data. John Rathgeber, Watford’s CEO, said: “This is an important milestone in the evolution of Watford. Listing the company on the Nasdaq achieves the objective of providing a liquidity mechanism for our existing shareholders; it will allow us to diversify our investor base; and it will give us access to the public capital markets when we need to finance our growth."

Watlington Waterworks 2019. September 17. Watlington Waterworks Ltd’s profits fell in the first six months of the year, as piped water sales dipped. In the company’s report to shareholders for the first half of 2019, Watlington said rainfall that was three inches higher than the same period of last year dampened demand for piped water. However, sales of all other products and services increased. Watlington’s profits for the six months through June 30 totaled $1.3 million, down from $1.41 million in the corresponding period of 2018, according to financial statements filed with the Bermuda Stock Exchange. Revenue slipped to $5.62 million from $5.79 million, as a $202,000 decrease in water sales was partially offset by gains in other areas. Watlington said its Utility Division, which supplies piped water as a supplement to rainfall harvesting, generates 65 per cent of revenue. “The company’s results therefore have a strong inverse correlation to rainfall,” Watlington wrote to shareholders. “In years when rainfall is below average one can expect stronger results and vice versa. For the first six months of this year rainfall was more than three inches above last year. This created softer demand for our piped water product, which resulted in piped water sales being down compared to last year. This was offset to some extent by increased sales from both our bottled water and retail plumbing divisions improving from the same period last year.” The company said it was continually connecting new customers to its pipeline network and had to invest in infrastructure. “The company completed the purchase of a parcel of land in Southampton on which it is intended to build a new large reservoir and water treatment building,” Watlington stated. “Excavation of the site commenced during the second quarter. Plans for the structure are well advanced with the aim to commence construction sometime in the first half of next year. This total project will involve significant capital investment in our infrastructure to meet customers’ current and future demand.”

2019. May 7. Watlington Waterworks Ltd made a full-year profit of $2.77 million in 2018. In its full-year financial statements posted on the Bermuda Stock Exchange website, Watlington said comprehensive income fell from the record $3.17 million achieved in 2017. Watlington’s utility division sells water via its network of pipelines to the central and western parishes, while its bottled water division prepares and distributes the Pure Water brand. Revenue climbed slightly last year, to $12.15 million from $12.06 million in 2017. However, production, administration and distribution expenses all rose to a combined total $9.42 million, up from $8.91 million in 2017. “The company experienced increased operating costs across the complete spectrum of its operations,” Watlington’s board said in a statement to shareholders. Watlington said it had invested in upgrades at its seawater reverse osmosis plant and its retail sales and administrative facilities at its Devonshire headquarters. “Future investment to strengthen bottled water infrastructure is planned through the current year,” the statement added. Watlington held $8 million in reserve as of the end of last year: $7 million of it earmarked for infrastructure improvements and a further $1 million as a contingency for unexpected future expenditure. Watlington plans to build a reservoir in the West End. “A search for a site on which to build a significant reservoir to improve overall water production, storage and distribution efficiency was found and the company has been steadily making progress as it goes through the regulatory process to receive permission to develop the site,” Watlington stated. “It is anticipated that the sale will be completed this year.” Watlington added that it had “benefited from having a long-serving, very able team of Bermudians” and that turnover among staff at all levels had been low. “The board feels investment in human resources is even more important to the ongoing long-term success of the company than its physical infrastructure strengthening policy. It is fully committed to the recruitment and development of its personnel. Costs attributed to salaries and benefits for employees are expected to increase in the short-term because of this policy of human resource development and succession planning.” Directors declared a bonus dividend of 20 cents per share based on 2018 results to all shareholders of record on March 15, 2019. The dividend was paid on March 29, 2019. Watlington’s shares closed at $21.50 on the BSX yesterday, giving the company a market capitalization of $22.84 million.

White Mountains Insurance Group Moved from New Hampshire to Bermuda in 1999.

2019. February 6. White Mountains Insurance Group has reported a $141 million comprehensive loss attributable to common shareholders during the fourth quarter. For the full year, the loss was $146 million. That compares with comprehensive income of $23 million and $631 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in 2017. The 2017 full-year figure included a $557 million gain from the sale of the OneBeacon insurance company. Bermuda-domiciled White Mountains reported book value per share of $896, and adjusted book value of $888 at the end of 2018. Book value for the fourth quarter was down 5 per cent, and for the full year was 4 per cent lower. White Mountains said that the estimated gain of $55 per share as a result of a transaction announced this month by MediaAlpha, an advertising company in which it is a significant equity holder, would have resulted in its book value per share being $951. Manning Rountree, chief executive officer, described the fourth quarter as “tough” and said the book value of shares was impacted by “the rout in the equity markets on our investment portfolio”. He said: “BAM enjoyed a strong fourth quarter, ending the year at new highs for par in force, total premiums and claims paying resources and, in December, making a $23 million cash payment on the surplus notes. NSM posted mixed results across its existing business lines in the quarter, while closing two new bolt-on acquisitions. MediaAlpha had yet another strong quarter, ending the year at new highs for revenues and Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes and amortization].” BAM is a mutual insurance company that is owned by its members. It insured municipal bonds with par value of $5.4 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $3.3 billion in the final quarter of 2017. For the full year it insured municipal bonds with par value of $12 billion, up from $10.3 billion. For the fourth quarter and full year BAM had pre-tax losses of $8 million and $61 million, respectively. Seán McCarthy, CEO of BAM, said: “Total premiums grew 7 per cent in 2018 to a record high of $111 million, despite lower new-issue municipal bond volume. Solid investor demand for BAM’s guaranty, including increasing interest from large institutions, helped BAM’s secondary market activity grow 21 per cent. We also completed our first assumed reinsurance transaction, bringing total par in force to a new high of $52 billion.” Meanwhile, NSM Insurance Group, which is a full-service MUG [managing general underwriter] and programme administrator for speciality property and casualty insurance, reported a pre-tax loss of $3 million for the fourth quarter. MediaAlpha reported break-even results and pre-tax income of $9 million in the fourth quarter. It had advertising and commission revenues of $79 million ad $296 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively. White Mountains announced this week that MediaAlpha has signed a definitive agreement to sell a significant minority stake to Insignia Capital Group in connection with a recapitalisation and cash distribution to shareholders. White Mountains will receive an $85 million cash payment as a result of the deal, and will retain a 42 per cent ownership interest in MediaAlpha. During the fourth quarter, White Mountains repurchased and retired 7,425 of its common shares for $6 million, at an average share price of $841. For the full year, the company repurchased and retired 592,458 of its common shares for $519 million, at an average price of $877. White Mountains total return on invested assets declined 4.4 per cent in the fourth quarter, and 1.7 per cent for the year. Mark Plourde, managing director of White Mountains Advisors, said: “These are disappointing results, driven by our asset allocation and the sharp decline in equity markets in the fourth quarter. The fixed income portfolio returned 1.2 per cent for the year, outperforming the BBIA Index return of 0.9 per cent. Common stocks and other long-term investments returned -3.6 per cent for the year, outperforming the S&P 500 return of -4.4 per cent. Our international equity portfolios under performed, while our other long-term investments portfolio outperformed.”

2019. February 4. Bermuda-based White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd will receive an $85 million cash payment as the result of a deal involving a company in which it owned a majority stake. MediaAlpha has signed a definitive agreement to sell a significant minority stake to Insignia Capital Group in connection with a re-capitalization transaction. The transaction values MediaAlpha at approximately $350 million. White Mountains will remain a significant equity holder in MediaAlpha going forward with a 42 per cent ownership interest on a fully diluted basis. MediaAlpha’s founding managers will continue to lead the business, and each will remain a significant equity holder. MediaAlpha is an advertising technology company that has developed distinctive platform solutions for auto, motorcycle, home, renter, health and life insurance. White Mountains said the $85 million payment it would receive would result in a gain of about $55 to the insurance group’s book value per share. Manning Rountree, chief executive officer of White Mountains, said: “This transaction is an important milestone for MediaAlpha. It recognizes the significant value that the MediaAlpha team have created to date, and it sets the stage for further value creation going forward. “We are excited to welcome Insignia Capital as our new institutional investment partner. The Insignia team has a proven track record of investing in high-growth marketing technology businesses, and their strategic and operational guidance will be highly valuable.” The transaction is expected to close within 60 days. It is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and MediaAlpha securing new third-party debt financing of approximately $100 million, the proceeds from which will be used to effect a dividend re-capitalization.

Willis Re 2018. April 4. Large insurers are increasingly entering the market to buy reinsurance companies, according to risk adviser Willis Re. In its latest 1st View report, Willis Re said it had seen “largely flat” renewal pricing on loss-free programmes, but some modest growth in demand for reinsurance. James Kent, chief executive officer of Willis Re, said there were significant changes going on in the nature of the ongoing consolidation in the industry. “The most dramatic shift in the last few months has been the dynamic change in reinsurance mergers and acquisitions with large primary carriers re-entering the reinsurance market, having largely abandoned the sector in the 1990s and early 2000s,” Mr Kent said. "Many major non-life primary companies with large personal line and small medium enterprises portfolios are facing the greatest disruption from new distribution models. Similarly, large primary companies with life portfolios are facing profitability challenges and an inability to differentiate their results from general investment markets. Against this background, buying large transparent, well-managed reinsurance companies with synergies in some areas of their existing portfolio is proving attractive. When big insurers exited the reinsurance market at the turn of the century, it was because of poor exposure management that led to earnings volatility and sometimes large underwriting losses that resulted in capital strains. The assumption now is that access to diversified sources of risk, allied with greater confidence that historic technical issues are now better managed through advanced risk quantification techniques, is sufficiently enticing for large primary companies looking for growth, The ‘Big Balance Sheet’ reinsurer model is being reinvigorated and the real test for management will be their portfolio management ability and the agile use of their large balance sheets.” While rates had been largely flat, reinsurers could take some encouragement from an increase in demand from a number of buyers that had boosted reinsurance premium volumes. “Furthermore, insurance companies, particularly within the C-suite, continue to assess the impact of reinsurance buying to support earnings and capital management, with the value of reinsurance seen as higher than it has been in recent years. Away from the headline property catastrophe renewals, many other classes managed uncontentious renewals and despite limited movement in original rating levels, underlying exposure growth has fed through into modest increased reinsurance premium volumes for reinsurers.” Willis Re said there had been a “rapid reload” of insurance-linked securities funds after initially overstated losses from last year’s hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, which in turn had led to a continued oversupply of capital that was helping to restrain rate increases. 
Willis Towers Watson 2020. March 9. Aon said today it would buy Willis Towers Watson for nearly $30 billion in an all-stock deal that creates the world’s largest insurance broker. Both companies have significant operations in Bermuda. However, as Aon is the second largest insurance broker in the world and Willis the third, the deal is likely to face antitrust regulatory hurdles. The combined company would be worth $76 billion by current share prices and adds scale in a battle with falling margins and challenges ranging from the coronavirus to climate change. In Bermuda, both companies have reinsurance and insurance broking operations and both also provide captive management services. Aon is based in offices on Woodbourne Avenue and Willis on Pitts Bay Road. “We know each other well and this came together pretty quickly,” Aon chief executive officer Greg Case said on a call with analysts, adding that the deal was motivated by “unmet client needs”. First mooted a year ago, the deal creates a company that will overtake market leader Marsh & McLennan in terms of value. Aon confirmed last year that it was in early stage talks with Willis Towers before quickly scrapping the plans, without giving a reason. Analysts said that an Aon-Willis deal might have trouble clearing antitrust hurdles and Aon’s shares plunged 14.5 per cent in pre-market trade, while Willis’ shares slid 7.1 per cent, although both moves came in a market hit heavily by today’s collapse in oil prices. “The insurers and reinsurers are unlikely to be happy about the deal given the scale of the two players coming together,” said analyst Ben Cohen at Investec. The deal terms state Aon will be obligated to pay a fee of $1 billion to Willis if the deal were to fall through. Aon chief financial officer Christa Davies said she was confident of getting all the “necessary approvals” for the deal. The deal follows other moves to consolidate the global insurance business. Marsh last April sealed its own purchase of British rival Jardine Lloyd Thompson for $5.7 billion, at the time cementing its position as the biggest global player. Under the deal, Willis shareholders would receive 1.08 Aon shares, or about $232 per share as of Aon’s Friday close, representing a total equity value of $29.86 billion. The offer is at a premium of 16 per cent to Willis’s closing price on Friday. When the deal closes, existing Aon shareholders will own about 63 per cent and existing Willis investors will own about 37 per cent of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The deal is expected to add to Aon’s adjusted earnings per share in the first full year of the deal, with savings of $267 million, reaching $600 million in the second year, with the full $800 million achieved in the third year. The deal is subject to the approval of shareholders and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first half of 2021. Aon will maintain its headquarters in London and the combined firm will be led by Aon CEO Case and Aon CFO Davies. Aon’s financial adviser for the deal is Credit Suisse Securities, while Willis was advised by Goldman Sachs.

2019. November 1. LONDON (AP) — Willis Towers Watson yesterday reported third-quarter earnings of $75 million. The London-based company, which has a Bermuda-incorporated subsidiary, said it had net income of 58 cents per share. Earnings, adjusted for one-time gains and costs, came to $1.31 per share. The results beat Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of ten analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of $1.30 per share. The advisory, broking and solutions company posted revenue of $1.99 billion in the period, which also beat Street forecasts. Seven analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $1.98 billion. Willis Towers Watson shares have increased 25 per cent since the beginning of the year. The stock has increased 35 per cent in the last 12 months.

2018. December 28. Insurtech investments rose to $1.3 billion in the third quarter, double the amount for the previous quarter, according to a report by Willis Towers Watson. While individual investment rounds were larger, the number of transactions reported declined 20 per cent to 57, according to the risk adviser’s new Quarterly Insurtech Briefing. The third quarter saw eight transactions over $40 million, up from six, and the continued active participation of re/insurers. The pipeline of insurtech partnerships remains “very strong”, the report stated. Among Bermuda-based re/insurers mentioned in the report are Hiscox, whose partnerships with Hi Marley and Eigen Technologies are highlighted. Hi Marley is described as an intelligent conversation platform, specifically designed for communication between insurers and their customers. Eigen is a research-led artificial intelligence company that specializes in neuro-linguistic programming for financial-services firms. XL Catlin, now Axa XL, also partnered with Slice, a New York-based start-up focused on the on-demand and gig economies, to offer cloud-based, on-demand cyber insurance for US small to medium-sized businesses. The briefing adds that many insurtech companies are deploying parametric structures, which unlike indemnity-based insurance pay out a predefined sum based on a trigger chosen as a proxy for an actual loss. Parametric products align the interests of insurers and insureds in a way which traditional indemnity covers do not, by removing the parties’ respective incentives to manage down or inflate claims. Parametric insurance is also substantially simpler than indemnity products, since it does not require costly claims handling. With parametric insurance, frictional costs can be very low. Some insurtech firms have acknowledged these benefits and combined technology and information within parametric or event-based insurance structures to address existing inefficiencies or coverage gaps. They use a combination of third-party and proprietary data, advanced sensors, and the capabilities of the internet of Things to develop a new paradigm of insurance offerings for the connected world. The briefing refers to several examples, including the use of parametric structures earthquake, travel disruption, flash flooding and horticulture risks. “The impact of parametric insurance can be much more profound than simply lowering frictional costs and mitigating the potential for fraud,” Rafal Walkiewicz, chief executive officer of Willis Towers Watson Securities, said. “First, the use of parametric insurance encourages conversation around risk mitigation. Second, the simplicity of parametric insurance facilitates a decoupling of the various functions of the industry value chain and it allows for modularization.” Magdalena Ramada, Willis Towers Watson senior economist, said: “When automated correctly, besides being increasingly economical to deploy, parametric products are an important tool to access underserved segments and bridge coverage gaps. Their underlying policy structure and digital nature fundamentally reduce the complexity and frictional costs of traditional insurance, allowing for the simplicity, scalability and flexibility needed to cater to most of these markets.” In the report, Dr Ramada adds: “Data from drones, satellites, smart devices and wearables can deliver automation in many parametric insurance products. They can further help to improve the efficiency and pricing accuracy of indemnity-based insurance. They can increase the pool of insurable people and enable pricing and products that adapt with people and businesses’ needs and behavior. That is not the future, it is the present.”

Windmill 1 2017. July 3. A $350 million catastrophe bond that will boost underwriting capacity for Bermudian insurer and reinsurer Axis Capital Holdings has been admitted to listing on the Bermuda Stock Exchange. The BSX also announced on Friday that a €40 million cat bond, issued through Windmill I Re Ltd to cover European perils, was also listed. Growth in the booming $29 billion insurance-linked securities market is showing no signs of slowing and 2017 is on target to be a year of record issuance. Bermuda is at the epicentre of the global business and more than three-quarters of global issuance was listed on the BSX as of the end of the first quarter, according to a Bermuda Monetary Authority report. According to the Artemis.bm website, a keen ILS market observer, Axis was originally looking to sell $250 million of cat bonds through its Bermuda special purpose insurer Northshore Re II Ltd. But strong demand from investors led to the offering being upsized to $350 million. The Northshore Re bonds will pay investors a 7.5 per cent coupon, Artemis reported. The cat bonds will provide cover for Axis and its subsidiaries against industry losses from US named storms, US earthquakes and Canadian earthquakes, on a per-occurrence basis and across a three-year term. The Windmill I Re Ltd name first appeared in the cat bond market in January 2014. Sponsored by Dutch reinsurer Achmea Reinsurance, it was an indemnity catastrophe bond for European windstorm coverage, particularly related to the Netherlands.

XL at O'Hara House

2019. February 19. More than 700 jobs will potentially go in the proposed next phase of integration of business units in Europe following Axa’s acquisition of XL Group last year. Axa Corporate Solutions, Axa Matrix, Axa Art and XL Catlin, are to become a united Axa XL division. In a statement, Axa XL said that following the closing of the acquisition last September, several teams have already started working together, with “tangible business wins as a result of going to market with a stronger proposition”. It said that, in Europe, Axa XL began transferring employees into a single employing company at the beginning of the month and, subject to regulatory approvals, commenced plans for merging certain legal entities. Axa XL is the property and casualty and specialty risk division of Axa. Greg Hendrick, chief executive officer of Axa XL, said: “This is a very important next step for Axa XL in its journey to become a united division. This proposed target operating model and organizational structure will help us to deliver the best services to our customers and provide them with the innovative solutions they need to succeed.” A draft plan for the next phase of the integration has been presented to employee representatives in countries where formal consultations are applicable. This includes France, Italy, Germany and the UK. In addition to proposing a new target operating model and organizational structure, the plan proposes activities and synergies to support the division’s combined operations. It is to be presented on a country-by-country basis and discussed with social partners during the coming weeks. The company said that combining what were previously separate teams and activities into one structure “means Axa XL will need to redefine its working processes and organisation accordingly. The proposed plan sets out the potential reduction of 711 positions in Europe, out of a workforce of 9,500 employees globally”. It added that supporting measures will be put in place and may include internal redeployments or voluntary departures. Doina Palici-Chehab, chief integration officer of Axa Group, said: “Consistent with Axa’s long-term responsible employer strategy, Axa XL is committed to supporting its employees through the change period, and every effort will be made to assist them.”

2018. September 12. French insurance giant Axa has completed its $15.3 billion acquisition of XL Group, a deal that was announced in March. As a consequence XL’s shares were de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange and the Bermuda Stock Exchange before the start of trading today. The combination of Axa’s and XL Group’s existing positions is said to have moved the group to the top global position in P&C Commercial lines. Thomas Buberl, chief executive officer of Axa, said: “The completion of this transaction marks a significant milestone in our strategic ambition to further improve the balance between technical and financial margin. This transaction accelerates our transformation, allowing us to deliver enhanced solutions and services to a greater number of clients, and provides opportunities for significant long-term value creation for our stakeholders, with increased risk diversification, strong underwriting discipline, higher cash remittance potential as well as reinforced growth prospects. Today, as Greg Hendrick steps up to lead Axa XL as its CEO and joins Axa Group’s management committee, I personally welcome him and all XL Catlin colleagues to the Axa family. With the enthusiasm and shared vision of Axa and XL Catlin teams, extensive preparatory work has already been conducted to ensure a smooth integration of our businesses within the Axa Group.” Greg Hendrick said: “This announcement marks the culmination of a great deal of work and vision. We have our sights focused on success and together with Axa, our offering is truly compelling: we have the right geographical footprint, expert teams, and a culture that constantly strives for innovation. And innovate is what we will continue to do, so that we can be the partner of choice for our clients today and well into the future.” XL Group has also announced its intention to voluntarily de-list its outstanding debt securities from the New York Stock Exchange. The series of securities being de-listed are: 2.3 per cent senior notes due 2018; 5.75 per cent senior notes due 2021; 4.45 per cent subordinated notes due 2025; 5.25 per cent senior notes due 2043; 5.5 per cent subordinated notes due 2045; and the fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due 2047.

2018. July 31. XL Group Ltd posted improved net income of $319 million for the second quarter, but earnings fell short of Wall Street’s expectations. The Bermuda-based insurer and reinsurer, which is in the process of being taken over by French insurance giant Axa Group, achieved top-line growth of more than 10 per cent in April through June period. The company reported rate improvement in its main businesses, with insurance rates up by 3.8 per cent for the first six months of the year and reinsurance rates for the year to date through July, up 3.7 per cent. XL made an underwriting profit, recording a combined ratio of 95.8 per cent for the quarter, compared to 92.3 per cent for the corresponding period of 2017. Mike McGavick, XL’s chief executive officer, said: “In the second quarter we have continued our progress towards a strong and diversified book, particularly as rate conditions improved across most lines. We grew top line by 10.6 per cent, maintained underwriting discipline and continued our shift of our book towards lower volatility business. Partially offsetting these positive trends was non-catastrophe large loss activity from the current quarter as well as prior-year development from short tail lines in insurance. Our investment results continue to improve as active portfolio rotation allows us to take advantage of rising interest rates. Overall, we are pleased with the results and look forward to continuing to realize the full potential of what we have built when we become part of Axa Group.” Net income of $319 million, or $1.21 per share, compared to $301.6 million, or $1.14 per share, in the second quarter of 2017. Operating net income of $220.3 million, or 84 cents per share, fell short of the 93 cents per share consensus forecast of analysts tracked by Yahoo Finance. P&C gross premiums written grew 10.6 per cent year over year and 7.8 per cent when the impact of currency exchange rates is stripped out. Natural catastrophe pre-tax losses net of reinsurance, reinstatement and premium adjustments for the quarter totaled $76.8 million, down from $92.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Net favourable prior-year development was $8.9 million during the quarter, compared to $86.7 million in last year’s second quarter. Investment returns positively impacted by ongoing portfolio rotations capitalizing on rising interest rates and a gain on the sale of one operating affiliate. Net investment income was $231.8 million, compared to $208.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. US tax reform has kicked in this year but there was no obvious negative impact evident in XL’s results. In its earnings report, XL said income tax expense was $27 million, down from $29 million in the second quarter of last year. The company said the decrease “is primarily attributable to the mix of profit by jurisdiction”. Axa’s $15.3 billion deal to acquire XL is expected to close in the second half of this year.

2018. July 11. XL Catlin’s operations will become part of new division of French insurance giant Axa, to be named Axa XL. Details of the rebranding and operational combination of the two companies comes after the announcement of Axa’s $15.3 billion acquisition of Bermudian-based XL Group four months ago. Axa XL, which will be dedicated to large property and casualty commercial lines will operate under three main lines, Axa said in a statement today:

  • XL Insurance, which will comprise XL’s insurance business and Axa Corporate Solutions; and will include XL Art and Lifestyle, the combination of XL’s Fine Art and Specie business and Axa Art offerings.
  • XL Reinsurance, which will incorporate XL Group’s reinsurance business.
  • XL Risk Consulting, which will incorporate Axa Matrix and XL Group’s Property Risk Engineering GAPS.

In addition, XL Group’s primary Lloyd’s syndicate will continue to be known as XL Catlin Syndicate 2003. Thomas Buberl, chief executive officer of Axa, said: “We are very pleased to announce another important milestone in the integration planning process with XL Group, which will see Axa become the #1 global P&C commercial lines insurer. “Behind this new common branding and naming, I am excited to see the future creation of Axa XL, a division based on Axa’s and XL Group’s shared culture around people, operational excellence, and innovation. The combination of these attributes will position us perfectly to establish an even stronger brand leadership and bring a unique value proposition to our customers.” Greg Hendrick, president and chief operating officer of XL Group, said: “We recognize the opportunity we have ahead to take the unique mix of elements that make XL a success — our talent, our approach, our tools — and bring them into the Axa family. I believe we will be stronger together and will be ambitious. We are going to continue to put our clients and brokers at the heart of what we do, while staying firmly focused on the future of risk and the solutions needed to advance.” Last month XL shareholders approved the sale of the company to Axa. The deal is expected to close in the second half of this year, subject to conditions, including regulatory approvals, which remain pending. Until the acquisition closes, XL and Axa remain two separate companies.

2018. May 3. XL Group Ltd made a profit of $152.6 million, or 58 cents per share, during the first quarter. The result closely matched its performance during the same period last year, when it achieved $152.8 million, or 57 cents per share. Natural catastrophe pre-tax losses, net of adjustments, were $73.2 million, compared to $96.1 million a year ago. While net favourable prior year development was $9.1 million, contrasting with an adverse development of $24 million in the first three months of 2017. Mike McGavick, chief executive officer of the Bermudian-based company, said: “We are pleased with our solid start to 2018, in-line with our expectations. During the first quarter our performance reflected benefits of our market leadership, focus on underwriting discipline, strong culture of innovation, continuous improvement, and efficiency.” Mr McGavick noted that XL grew its gross premiums written by more than 6 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2017, and continued to improve the insurance loss ratio, excluding prior year development and the impact of catastrophe losses. XL’s operating net income was $214.4 million, or 82 cents per share, compared to $136.1 million, or 50 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2017. “We did see a lower reinsurance margin in the quarter, largely driven by our strategic initiatives including a shift in portfolio mix towards lower volatility and an increase in outward reinsurance protections,” Mr McGavick said. “With respect to pricing, we are pleased to have achieved broad rate increases throughout our insurance and reinsurance portfolio, which will earn into our results over the rest of the year. Also during the quarter we had strong contributions from the investment portfolio, and we continued managing our expenses.” Mr McGavick added: “As we look forward to the next phase in XL’s journey, with the proposed combination with AXA, we believe there is substantial opportunity to continue realizing the potential of what we have built.” In its property and casualty operations, XL’s gross premiums written were $4.92 billion, up from $4.62 billion a year ago. The P&C combined ratio edged slightly higher to 95.3 per cent, from 94.3 per cent during the same period of 2017.

2018. March 6. The impact on jobs at XL Group is expected to be limited after it is acquired by French multinational insurance company Axa in a $15.3 billion deal. Although no figures have been mentioned, Mike McGavick, chief executive officer of XL Group, believes staff at both companies will be affected “less than ordinarily expected in such advanced integration” because there is little overlap in operations. Axa is buying Bermuda-based XL Group in a deal that will be completed in the second half of the year, subject to shareholders’ and regulatory approval. The XL Catlin brand is set to continue under the Axa umbrella, however it is intended that XL Group will be de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange. Axa is transitioning from being predominantly focused on life insurance and savings to becoming the number one global property and casualty commercial lines insurer based on gross written premiums. The integration of XL into Axa will achieve that shift. Insurance accounts for two-thirds of XL’s operations, with the remainder reinsurance. The transaction will give Axa access to capital markets through the reinsurance sector, while XL will have the opportunity to take its specialty products to a greater client base through Axa’s extensive market reach. Gérald Harlin, deputy CEO and group chief financial officer of Axa, at a press conference in Paris yesterday, responded to a question about cost savings and the impact on jobs. Referencing the intention to de-list the company, he said: “XL is a listed company, which means a lot of [that] structure and infrastructure will be no more needed.” Mr McGavick said XL has a staff of 7,400 globally, with more than 30 offices and a presence in 50 countries. It writes $15 billion in premiums each year, and has grown rapidly since the $4.1 billion merger with Catlin in 2015. He said: “In terms of key business lines, we are a premier specialty platform. We think of the specialty business as an important strategic element. The reality is that change is coming to the insurance market, change is accelerating. Nothing in life is standing still and our clients’ risks don’t stand still either. Being a leader in specialty and a leader in reinsurance is precisely how you drive that change forward.” Referring to the transaction, he said: “In terms of immediate benefits, the ability to sell the products we have across the Axa platform will be one of the quickest sources of growth and additional profit.” Mr McGavick and Thomas Buberl, chief executive officer of Axa, have known each other for a number of years having met through the Geneva Association, an international think tank on insurance and risk management issues. In November, they met at Mr Buberl’s office in New York and discussed the direction of the industry. That meeting and follow up discussions paved the way for yesterday’s announcement. Mr McGavick drew a parallel with the position XL Group and Bermuda-based insurer Catlin found themselves in before they merged. He said: “It was the recognition that scale matters more and more in insurance operations. Operating globally is essential and that is a very expensive infrastructure to maintain. And second, capital is made very dear by Solvency II and other regulatory pushes around the world. If you think about those two things alone, you realize that scale makes a huge difference in competitive position. We gained greater scale through Catlin, but the reality was that we were not in the final group, the top group in the world. While our board was not looking to sell, when Thomas came forward and outlined a vision for maintaining the brand, maintaining the strength and accelerating its progress from being part of this more powerful group, it was a very compelling vision.” Mr McGavick said the deal was exciting as it was a complementary fit between companies with similar approaches to customer service, similar cultures and focus on innovation. “When you add that together and realize that the overlaps are not that large, so the impact on XL people and Axa people will be less than ordinarily in such an advanced integration, this is incredibly exciting for all of us. That convinced our board and management this was the right thing to do,” he said. The merger agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of Axa and XL Group. XL will be combined with Axa Corporate Solutions, with Greg Hendrick, XL president and chief operating officer, to be appointed CEO of the combined entity. Mr Hendrick was also at the Paris press conference. He said there were a number of synergies between the companies, such as the opportunity for XL’s specialty products, such as those in professional, environment and cyber lines, to be “combined with the power house that Axa is in the small commercial market space and sell to a whole new customers and distribution that we have not had access to before — particularly the smaller brokers in Europe and even some of the Axa agents. Axa Corporate Solutions has a great franchise in Europe; the benefit from the US underwriting expertise that we will bring to the table will only enhance the positions that ACS has with its customers and really move forward to a lead position.” Mr Hendrick expects opportunities to leverage XL’s footprint in the US and bring AXA’s expertise to more potential clients. Regarding the future of the XL Catlin brand, he said: “We are still working together on how exactly the brand should go. We have said the XL name and the Catlin name will move forward within the Axa organisation. We have to work out the specifics of how we are going to do that best.” In an earlier statement, Mr Buberl said: “The transaction offers significant long-term value creation for our stakeholders with increased risk diversification, higher cash remittance potential and reinforced growth prospects. The future Axa will see its profile significantly rebalanced towards insurance risks and away from financial risks.” At yesterday’s press conference, he said it was intended to de-list XL Group “if possible” and create an internal advisory board. Mr McGavick will become vice-chairman of the entity created by the combining of Axa Corporate Solutions and XL Group, which will be a “sixth pillar” of the Axa group. Mr McGavick will also be special adviser to Mr Buberl, with regard to integration-related and other strategic matters. Commenting on the deal, Ross Webber, CEO of the Bermuda Business Development Agency, said it “continues to show how attractive the Bermuda market and its companies are. Bermuda has yet again proven itself to be a domicile where companies can grow from the seeds of necessity-driven innovation in the mid-1980s to highly desirable multi-billion-dollar targets more than 30 years later. Larger, stronger companies — in this case creating one of the world’s largest P&C carriers — are beneficial for both the market and the industry. We continue to see new companies launching in Bermuda, and we expect this to continue.” XL shareholders will receive $57.60 per share under the terms of the transaction, which represents a 33 per cent premium on Friday’s closing price.2

2018. March 5. XL Group is being bought by French multinational insurance company Axa in a $15.3 billion deal. The merger agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of Axa and Bermudian-based XL Group. XL shareholders will receive $57.60 per share under the terms of the transaction, which represents a 33 per cent premium on Friday’s closing price. Mike McGavick, chief executive officer of XL Group, said: “Today marks an unrivalled opportunity to accelerate our strategy with a new strength and dimension. With every confidence in how we have positioned XL Group for the future, it is a substantial testament to Axa’s leadership and commitment to maintaining the XL Group brand and culture that we have come to an alignment. We are excited at the opportunity to build the scale, geographical footprint, product portfolio, and the unmatched commitment to innovation that relevance in the global insurance industry requires. In Axa we have found like-minded partners committed to the absolute necessity to innovate and move this industry forward.” In a statement outlining the agreement, the companies said the combination of Axa and XL Group “will propel the group to the number one global position in property and casualty commercial lines with combined 2016 revenues of €30 billion and total P&C revenues of €48 billion”. Thomas Buberl, chief executive officer of Axa, said: “This transaction is a unique strategic opportunity for Axa to shift its business profile from predominantly L&S business to predominantly P&C business, and will enable the Group to become the number one global P&C commercial lines insurer based on gross written premiums. The transaction offers significant long-term value creation for our stakeholders with increased risk diversification, higher cash remittance potential and reinforced growth prospects. The future Axa will see its profile significantly rebalanced towards insurance risks and away from financial risks. “XL Group has the right geographical footprint, world-class teams with recognized expertise and is renowned for innovative client solutions. Our combined P&C commercial lines operations, will have a strong position in the large and upper mid-market space, including in specialty lines and reinsurance, and will complement and further enhance Axa’s already strong presence in the SME segment. The two companies share a common culture around people, risk management and innovation, positioning Axa uniquely for the evolving future of the P&C industry.” When the transaction is complete, the combined operations of XL Group, Axa Corporate Solutions, which is Axa’s large commercial P&C and specialty business, and Axa Art will be led by Greg Hendrick, currently president and chief operating officer of XL Group, who will be appointed CEO of the combined entity and join Axa Group’s management committee, reporting to Mr Buberl. Mr McGavick will become vice-chairman of the combined P&C commercial lines operations and special adviser to Mr Buberl, to advise on integration-related and other strategic matters. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by XL Group shareholders and other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, and is expected to take place during the second half of the year.

2018. March 4. NEW YORK (Bloomberg) — Axa SA is in advanced talks to buy Bermuda-based XL Group Ltd, people familiar with the matter said. A deal could be announced in coming days, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter isn’t public. Property and casualty insurer XL has also attracted interest from insurers including Germany’s Allianz SE, Bloomberg reported last month. A final deal hasn’t been reached and another bidder may yet emerge or talks may fall apart, the people said. Representatives for XL Group and Axa didn’t respond to several requests for comment. A spokesman for Allianz declined to comment. Buying XL, which sells insurance to other insurers, would bolster Axa’s casualty coverage business in the US, and mark the biggest insurance deal since 2015, according to Bloomberg data. Such firms have become ripe takeover targets as policy prices begin to increase after firms booked heavy losses last year due to a spate of natural disasters. Some $17.5 billion in deals have been stitched together so far this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The biggest of the takeovers so far has been American International Group Inc’s January agreement to buy Validus Holdings Ltd for more than $5 billion in cash. XL shares have advanced 23 per cent this year in New York, giving the Hamilton, Bermuda-based company a market value of about $11 billion. Axa has gained 1.3 per cent in Paris so far this year, valuing the company at €61 billion ($75 billion). XL’s chief executive officer Mike McGavick, who expanded the insurer in 2015 with the $3.9 billion deal to buy Catlin Group Ltd, last month said he was optimistic about “where we are going” on the back of a solid capital position and growth in premiums. Still, catastrophe losses might spur more consolidation for Bermuda reinsurers this year, while the US tax overhaul has diluted the pricing advantage the companies enjoyed with Bermuda’s low rate, according to a Fitch Ratings report. Axa’s chief executive officer Thomas Buberl, who took the post less than two years ago, has said one of his preferred areas for growth is P&C commercial lines segments. Europe’s second-largest insurer is shedding some assets as it plans to focus its expansion on fewer countries, with scale being an important factor as he seeks to simplify the business. The Paris-based insurer plans to list a minority stake in its US businesses, including its Life & Savings unit and its 64 per cent stake in AllianceBernstein, in the first half of this year. Proceeds from the initial public offering will be used to fund acquisitions or returned to shareholders.

2018. January 11. XL Catlin has estimated catastrophe losses totaling about $315 million for the fourth quarter of last year. In addition, the Bermudian-based global insurer and reinsurer will recognize a one-time charge of around $98 million in relation to US tax changes enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The charge relates to a revaluation of deferred tax assets and XL said the actual charge would depend on fourth-quarter results. But the company added: “Based on XL’s preliminary assessment, XL does not currently expect US tax reform to have a material impact going forward on its average global effective tax rate.” In a catastrophe loss update today, XL announced a preliminary estimate of about $45 million in net losses related to the recent wildfires in Southern California and another $20 million related to other events. XL had previously estimated losses of around $250 million related to the October 2017 Northern California wildfires and other events. The company also reaffirmed its previously disclosed aggregate net pre-tax losses of $1.48 billion, related to the third-quarter 2017 catastrophes, including those related to hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. “Since these events, XL has continued to pay claims and receive reported loss information from its clients and brokers,” the company stated. “Ongoing assessment has resulted in approximately 6 per cent of the third quarter 2017 aggregate net losses being reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the insurance segment.” XL expects to announce its fourth-quarter results after financial markets close on February 1.

XOMA Corp

Moved from California to Bermuda in 1998.

Announced in October 2011 its intention to re-domicile from Bermuda to Delaware in order to avoid any potentially harmful changes to the tax law and being targeted as a non-US company. The company’s board of directors believes that the move will provide legal, administrative and other similar efficiencies, as well as a basis for further efficiencies in the event that XOMA simplifies its overall corporate structure, in addition to reducing XOMA’s exposure to the potential consequences of certain types of punitive or potentially adverse tax legislation that have been proposed in the past
