Unum Group Closes $3.4 Billion Long-Term Care Reinsurance Transaction with Fortitude Re
'With the close of this transaction we have achieved a significant milestone in reducing the company's exposure to the legacy long-term care business,' said Richard P. McKenney, president and chief executive officer. 'Looking forward, we remain focused on further reducing our risk profile, delivering growth in our core businesses, optimizing our capital, and delivering value for our shareholders.'
According to the agreement, Unum America will cede $3.4 billion of individual LTC reserves and approximately $120 million of IDI in-force premium to Fortitude Re, on a coinsurance basis. The ceded business comprises individual LTC insurance policies representing 19% of Unum's total LTC block and a quota share of IDI policies reinsured from an affiliate representing 20% of Unum's total in-force IDI premium. Overall the transaction is expected to generate approximately $100 million capital benefit. As previously announced, Fortitude Re will retrocede biometric risk to a highly rated global reinsurer. Unum will continue to provide service and administration for the reinsured business.
Debevoise & Plimpton LLP served as legal counsel to Unum in connection with this transaction.
