3. Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations

ACQUISITIONS

Chaucer Acquisition

On July 1, 2011, the Company acquired Chaucer, a United Kingdom (“U.K.”) insurance business. Chaucer is a leading specialist managing agency at Lloyd’s. Chaucer underwrites business in several lines of business, including property, marine and aviation, energy, U.K. motor and casualty and other coverages (which include international liability, specialist coverages, and syndicate participations). Chaucer is headquartered in London, with a regional presence in Whitstable, England and locations in Houston, Singapore, Buenos Aires, and Copenhagen.

This transaction is expected to advance the Company’s specialty lines strategy and result in broader product and underwriting capabilities, as well as greater geographic and product diversification. The acquisition adds a presence in the Lloyd’s market, which includes access to international licenses, an excess and surplus insurance business and the ability to syndicate certain risks.
