Helios Underwriting plc
('Helios' or the 'Company')
Acquisition of Nottus No 51 Limited
Helios is pleased to announce that, in line with its strategy of increasing underwriting capacity through acquisition, on 8 June, following approval of change of control by Lloyd's of London ("Lloyd's"), it has agreed to acquire Nottus No 51 Limited ('Nottus'), a limited liability member of Lloyd's ('LLV') for a consideration of GBP964,500 in cash.
Information in respect of Nottus
The 2017 underwriting capacity of Nottus is approximately GBP669,000 (this compares with Helios's 2017 capacity of GBP35m prior to this acquisition). Nottus 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 4.0% to the independent valuation of GBP1.0m placed on Nottus by Humphrey's. Nottus is expected to have funds surplus to its current underwriting requirements of over GBP0.60m on completion which Helios will be able to utilise in the future.
The capacity acquired, together with the capacity Helios expects to retain, is as follows:
Nottus Year of Account ---------------- -------------------- 2015 2016 2017 ---------------- ------ ----- ----- GBPm GBPm GBPm ---------------- ------ ----- ----- Retained 0.62 0.63 0.20 ---------------- ------ ----- ----- Reinsured - - 0.47 ---------------- ------ ----- ----- Total Capacity 0.62 0.63 0.67 ---------------- ------ ----- -----
Helios will reinsure 70% of 2017 underwriting year in line with its stated policy of reducing 'on-risk' exposures.
Additional information
Nottus is a limited liability member of Lloyd's. In the year ended 31 December 2015, Nottus made a profit before tax of GBP102,674 on gross premiums written of GBP0.55m and its net asset value at that date was GBP0.54m. Underwriting capacity with an estimated market value of GBP0.37m has been included in the transaction.
Set out below are Nottus's 2015 and 2016 open years of account forecasts:
