£29m Euclidian deal is agreed
Shareholders of integrated Lloyd's insurance group, Euclidian, have accepted a £29 million cash offer made by the company's management. It is now a private company. The management was backed by a reinsurance policy instead of having to seek the backing of venture capitalists. The policy, provided by Bermuda-based Centre Solutions, also provided Euclidian with sufficient funds to underwrite £200m of premium income through the company's underwriting subsidiary. The offer was accepted by 95% of shareholders.
