In 2010, Tawa extracted $47m from its risk carriers. $35m was received from Reinsurance Company Limited while Tawa also received approval for $12m of capital extraction from its Connecticut domiciled subsidiary PXRE Reinsurance Company. The $12m was used to repay part of the acquisition debt.
Tawa’s CEO Gilles Erulin, said a focus for the company in 2010 was restructuring the business. “We accelerated the transition of our group from a pure run-off acquirer model to a more diversified insurance investor model.”
