INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 3 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (as amended, this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by (i) Enstar Group Limited, an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”) and the issuer of the ordinary shares representing ownership interests in the Company, par value $1.00 per share (the “Enstar Ordinary Shares”), the depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000th Interest in a 7.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares, Series D, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series D Preferred Shares”) and the depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000th 7.00% Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares, Series E, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series E Preferred Shares”), that are subject to the Rule 13E-3 transaction; (ii) Deer Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda (“New Company Holdco”), (iii) Deer Merger Sub Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New Company Holdco (“Company Merger Sub”), (iv) Elk Evergreen Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (v) Elk Cypress Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (vi) TSSP Sub-Fund HoldCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (vii) Dominic F. Silvester, a natural person, (viii) Elk Topco, LLC, a limited liability company existing under the laws of Bermuda, (ix) Elk Parent Limited, an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda, (x) Elk Bidco Limited, an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda (“Parent”) and (xi) Elk Merger Sub Limited, an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda and direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Parent Merger Sub”). Collectively, the persons filing this Transaction Statement are referred to as the “Filing Persons”.

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2024 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Parent Merger Sub, the Company, New Company Holdco and Company Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New Company Holdco, (ii) as soon as practicable following the consummation of the First Merger, New Company Holdco will merge with and into the Company (the “Second Merger”), with the Company surviving such merger and (iii) as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Second Merger, Parent Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Third Merger” and, together with the First Merger and Second Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Company surviving such merger (the “Third Surviving Company”), so that immediately following such Mergers, Parent will directly own all Enstar Ordinary Shares. Certain investment vehicles managed or advised by Sixth Street Partners, LLC (“Sixth Street”), a private equity firm, have committed to contribute equity to Parent.

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, on July 29, 2024, Parent, Elk Evergreen Investments, LLC and Elk Cypress Investments, LLC entered into rollover and support agreements (“Rollover and Support Agreements”) with Dominic F. Silvester, Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), and each of Frazer Holdings LP, J. Christopher Flowers, John J. Oros 1998 Family Trust, Hyman 2018 Family Trust, David Walsh and Steven D. Arnold (collectively, “JCF” and together with the CEO, the “Reinvesting Shareholders”). Under the Rollover and Support Agreements, the Reinvesting Shareholders have agreed to vote or execute consents with respect to the number of Enstar Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such shareholder set forth in such shareholder’s Rollover and Support Agreement (such shares, the “Reinvesting Shares”) in favor of the Mergers, subject to certain terms and conditions contained therein.

In addition, the Reinvesting Shareholders have agreed to reinvest certain of their Enstar Ordinary Shares into a non-voting ownership interest in a parent company of Parent.

Pursuant to the Rollover and Support Agreements, among other things, each Reinvesting Shareholder will contribute certain of the ordinary shares of the Second Surviving Company owned by the Reinvesting Shareholder to an indirect parent company of Parent in exchange for equity interests in such indirect parent company of Parent, which contribution and exchange will happen immediately after the Second Effective Time and prior to the Third Effective Time and the Reinvesting Shareholders, in the aggregate, will indirectly own approximately 6.44% of Parent through such indirect parent company thereafter. As a result of the

​

 

Mergers, the Enstar Ordinary Shares held by the Reinvesting Shareholders immediately prior to the First Merger will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

The consummation of the exchange of Enstar Ordinary Shares contemplated by the Rollover and Support Agreements is subject to (1) the satisfaction, or written waiver (to the extent permitted) by the parties to the Merger Agreement of all conditions to the obligation of the parties to consummate each Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that are to occur at each Closing as set forth in Article XI of the Merger Agreement, and (2) each party to the Merger Agreement being ready, willing and able to consummate each of the Mergers immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Rollover and Support Agreements (the “Reinvestment Closing”). The Rollover and Support Agreement executed by the CEO will terminate automatically upon the earlier of (x) the termination of the Merger Agreement and (y) the Third Effective Time. The Rollover and Support Agreements executed by JCF will terminate upon the earliest of (1) the termination of the Merger Agreement, (2) the effective time of the Reinvestment Closing and (3) the termination of the equity commitment letter dated as of July 29, 2024 between JCF and TopCo.

As a result of the Transactions (as defined below), each holder of Enstar Ordinary Shares will be entitled to receive a total of $338 in cash, without interest (the “Total Cash Consideration”), for each Enstar Ordinary Share. The Company’s shareholders holding preferred shares of the Company (“Enstar Preferred Shares”) will receive preferred shares of the Company, as the Third Surviving Company, and the relative rights, terms and conditions of each such Enstar Preferred Share will remain unchanged. As a result of the Transactions, Parent will directly own all Enstar Ordinary Shares and the Enstar Ordinary Shares and the depositary shares representing interests in the Enstar Preferred Shares will be delisted from NASDAQ and deregistered under the Exchange Act, in each case, in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, and the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC on account of the Enstar Ordinary Shares or such depositary shares. If the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are consummated, holders of the Enstar Ordinary Shares (other than the Reinvesting Shareholders) will not own any shares of the Third Surviving Company and holders of the Enstar Preferred Shares will hold preferred shares of the Company as the Third Surviving Company following the Mergers, with all of their relative rights, terms and conditions remaining unchanged.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), as more fully described in the Proxy Statement (as defined below), reviewed and considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. After considering various factors, including those described in the Proxy Statement, and after consultation with the Company’s legal and financial advisors, the Board unanimously (i) determined in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, as amended, that (a) the Total Cash Consideration to be received by the holders of the Enstar Ordinary Shares in the Mergers constitutes fair value for each Enstar Ordinary Share, (b) the preferred shares of the Third Surviving Company to be received by the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares following the Mergers constitute fair value for each Series C Preferred Share, (c) the preferred shares of the Third Surviving Company to be received by the holders of the Series D Preferred Shares following the Mergers constitute fair value for each Series D Preferred Share, (d) the preferred shares of the Third Surviving Company to be received by the holders of the Series E Preferred Shares following the Mergers constitute fair value for each Series E Preferred Share and (e) the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company, (ii) approved the Transactions, (iii) approved the Bye-Law Amendments and (iv) resolved, subject to the Merger Agreement, to recommend approval of the Transactions, including the Mergers, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreements and the Bye-Law Amendments to holders of Enstar Shares.

The Mergers cannot be completed without the affirmative vote of (i) if the First Bye-Law Amendment is approved, a majority of the votes cast by holders of issued and outstanding Enstar Ordinary Shares and Enstar Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, present at the Special Meeting (in person or by proxy), or (ii) if the First Bye-Law Amendment is not approved, a three-fourths majority of the votes cast by holders of issued and outstanding Enstar Ordinary Shares and Enstar Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, present at the Special Meeting (in person or by proxy).

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing a notice of meeting and a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. A copy of the Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(2)(i) and a copy of the Merger Agreement
