| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On March 31, 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”) completed the previously announced acquisition of all of the shares of Household Life Insurance Company of Delaware (“HLIC DE”) and HSBC Insurance Company of Delaware (“HSBC DE”) from Household Insurance Group Holding Company, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc. HLIC DE and HSBC DE are both Delaware-domiciled insurers in run-off. HLIC DE owns three other insurers domiciled in Michigan, New York and Arizona, respectively, all of which are in run-off. The acquired companies have written various U.S. and Canadian life insurance, including credit insurance, term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance, corporate owned life insurance and annuities.
As previously disclosed, the base purchase price of $181.0 million was adjusted under the terms of the stock purchase agreement based upon changes to the capital and surplus of the acquired entities arising from the operation of the business prior to closing. The amount paid at closing was approximately $155.7 million and was financed in part by a drawing of $55.7 million under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
