Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company and Stone Point Capital LLC (“Stone Point”) have retained Evercore Group L.L.C. (“Evercore”) to assist in evaluating market interest regarding the potential sale of the Company’s active underwriting businesses, Atrium and StarStone. The Company and Stone Point reached the decision to engage Evercore in light of their favorable perception of market conditions, following several other recent transactions in the industry, and will explore whether there is interest in these businesses at attractive pricing levels.
The Company partnered with the Trident V funds (managed by Stone Point) in the initial acquisitions of its active underwriting businesses.
Cautionary Statement
The Company cannot predict whether or when any sale of Atrium or StarStone will occur, whether it will continue to evaluate potential sales of these businesses, or the value of the consideration that may be received if a transaction or transactions are pursued. If agreements were reached, completion of both transactions would be subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other conditions. Important risk factors regarding Enstar can be found under the heading "Risk Factors" in Enstar's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and are incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, Enstar undertakes no obligation to update any written or oral statements or publicly announce any updates or revisions to the statements contained herein, to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, except as required by law.
