The filing details the sale of the Company's reinsurance division, previously carried out by FG Reinsurance Holdings, LLC (FGRH).
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
The transaction involves the sale of 100% of the equity of FG Re and FG Solutions (the "FG Reinsurance Division") to Devondale Holdings, LLC ("Devondale"). The total consideration structure includes:
- Collateral Release: $3.3 million in collateral previously posted by FGRH will be released.
- Cash Payment: $1.0 million in cash paid by Devondale to FGRH.
- Equity Interest: A 40% equity interest in Devondale.
- Promissory Note: FGRH will leave $1.25 million in cash within FG Re in exchange for a promissory note from FG Re to FGRH. The note accrues interest at 6% per annum, with principal and interest due on June 30, 2027.
Additionally, Saltire Capital Ltd. has agreed to advance Devondale $1.0 million to fund the cash payment. In exchange, Devondale issued Saltire a $1.0 million promissory note (6% interest, 5-year amortization starting September 30, 2027, with a balloon payment on June 30, 2030) and 40% of Devondale's Class A voting units.
Material Changes and Prior Events
On December 31, 2024, the Company approved a plan to sell its reinsurance business. A prior partial sale occurred on March 14, 2025, involving FG RE Corporate Member Limited and the commutation of Lloyds of London treaties, generating $5.6 million in total consideration ($0.3 million for the share purchase and $5.3 million in treaty funds). This prior transaction resulted in an impairment of assets held for sale of approximately $2.1 million, primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred acquisition cost intangible assets. The current filing finalizes the sale of the remaining division assets.
