Ryan Specialty Group Acquires Navigators' Nordic Agency Operations
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
LONDON, Jan. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Navigators Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:NAVG) ("Navigators") and Ryan Specialty Group, LLC ("RSG") announced
today the acquisition by RSG of Navigators' insurance agency operations in
Sweden and Denmark.
The transaction represents a 100% acquisition of Navigators' Sweden and Denmark
corporations, NUAL AB and Navigators A/S, respectively. Navigators' local
employees have agreed to continue their employment with RSG, with Sverker
Edstrom continuing to lead the Stockholm operation and Thomas Harrild remaining
responsible for the Copenhagen office. In assuming the operations, RSG, a
leading distributor of specialty insurance products and services, will leverage
its expertise to enhance the customer service available to local brokers and
insureds.
Following the acquisition, the new RSG offices, renamed RSG Sweden and RSG
Denmark, will partner with Navigators to continue to bring local customers
management and professional liability products written on and backed by
Navigators Lloyd's Syndicate 1221 paper, giving insureds the same financial
strength and expert claims handling they have come to expect.
"This transaction supports Navigators' strategic focus on serving clients across
continental Europe," said Michael J. Casella, Navigators' President of
International Insurance. "Our partnership with RSG will enable us to more
efficiently serve clients in these markets while still providing them with the
innovative products and financial strength Navigators is known for."
"Equally, this furthers RSG's European expansion plans," said Michael D. Rice,
Chairman of RSG Underwriting Managers, LLC, a subsidiary of RSG. "We are very
pleased to be able to further develop our strong relationship with Navigators
with this transaction."
The sale excludes Navigators' Nordic marine lines of business, which will
continue to be managed out of Rotterdam.
