Canadian insurance giant Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. said late Monday that it has struck a deal to acquire U.K. specialty insurer Brit PLC in a transaction worth $1.88 billion.

Toronto-based Fairfax said it plans to purchase all of Brit's shares outstanding. Under the terms of the deal, Fairfax is offering 305 pence in cash per Brit share--an 11.2% premium over the stock's Monday closing price.

Fairfax, which expects the acquisition to add to its gross revenue a share and investments a share, said it has secured irrevocable agreements to acquire about 73% of Brit's outstanding float.

"Brit has an outstanding track record over the last 10 years and will continue to operate on a decentralized basis once owned by Fairfax," Fairfax Chairman and Chief Executive Prem Watsa said in a statement.

"With the acquisition of Brit, Fairfax will have a significant top five position at Lloyd's of London," he added.
