Safe hands for shareholders and claimants alike

Driven by Board-level directives to take care not only with the price but with the reputation of the company and service delivery to claimants, the Seller approached several potential run-off providers. RiverStone was selected for our approach to the company and its policy holders, as well as for the fair value we were able to give the Seller. RiverStone offered a “safe harbor” for claimants and shareholders.

Offering the right security and price in an absolute solution

Seeking the most competitive price, the Seller approached multiple providers and then circled back to complete the deal with RiverStone. The deal was closed within 6 weeks, and RiverStone gave the Seller economic certainty (and a reliable price), as well as the legal transfer of exposures. The security of RiverStone was primary, so that the Seller could tell the rating agencies that they had an absolute solution.
