Helios Underwriting plc
("Helios" or the "Company")
Acquisition of Nomina No 505 LLP
Helios is pleased to announce that, in line with its strategy of
increasing underwriting capacity through acquisition, it has
acquired Nomina No 505 LLP ("505"), a limited liability member of
Lloyd's of London ("Lloyd's") for a consideration of GBP318,359 in
cash (the "Acquisition").
Information in respect of 505
The 2018 underwriting capacity of 505 is GBP922,937 (this
compares with Helios's 2018 capacity of GBP41.5m prior to this
acquisition). 505 participates in a spread of Lloyd's syndicates
that broadly matches the existing portfolio of Helios and this
transaction enables Helios to continue to build its participations
on the better syndicates at Lloyd's.
The consideration represents a discount of 9% to the independent
valuation of GBP350,695 placed on 505 by Humphrey's.
The capacity acquired, together with the capacity Helios expects
to retain, is as follows:
505 Year of Account
2016 2017 2018
------ ----- -----
GBPm GBPm GBPm
------ ----- -----
Retained 0.8 0.9 0.27
------ ----- -----
Reinsured - - 0.63
------ ----- -----
Total Capacity 0.8 0.9 0.9
------ ----- -----
Helios will reinsure 70% of 2018 underwriting year in line with
its stated policy of reducing 'on-risk' exposures.
In addition to the 505 transaction, Helios is continuing to
pursue a number of further Lloyd's LLV acquisitions in line with
its strategy.
