Recent Developments
On June 17, 2026, Group announced that it has partnered with Stone Point Insurance Solutions (“Stone Point”) to sponsor the launch of Annapurna Re Ltd. (“Annapurna”), a Bermuda-based collateralized insurer and special purpose vehicle (commonly referred to as a reinsurance "sidecar") structured as a segregated accounts company. Funds managed by Stone Point will serve as the inaugural, anchor investors in this multi-year vehicle. This structure legally isolates the assets and liabilities funded by third-party investors from Group's general accounts. See Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for premiums and losses ceded by the Company to the Annapurna reinsurance sidecar beginning in the second quarter 2026.
On May 19, 2026, Group entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Colombian Commercial Retail Insurance Operations, Everest Compañía de Seguros Generales Colombia S.A. (“Everest Colombia”), to AIG. The transaction is anticipated to close in early 2027, pursuant to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. As a condition of this agreement, Everest Re and Everest Colombia will enter into an Amended and Restated Reinsurance Agreement for the existing quota share between the two entities as referenced in Note 14 of the Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
On March 22, 2026, Everest Underwriting Group (Ireland) Limited (“EUGIL”), an Irish direct subsidiary of Group, entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Canadian Commercial Retail Insurance Operations, Everest Insurance Company of Canada (“Everest Canada”), to The Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company (“Wawanesa”). In connection with the Purchase Agreement Everest Canada will enter into a loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement with Everest Reinsurance Company - Canadian Branch, a Delaware reinsurance company and affiliate of EUGIL (“ERC - Canadian Branch”), pursuant to which ERC - Canadian Branch will reinsure certain liabilities of Everest Canada with respect to insurance business written prior to the closing of the transaction. Upon execution of the loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement, Group assets held-for-sale would be comprised of only investments and cash at the time of the transaction close. The transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of 2026.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed its reportable segments, previously reported as Reinsurance and Insurance, to Reinsurance Treaty, Global Wholesale & Specialty, and Legacy, following the sale of the renewal rights for its Global Commercial Retail Insurance business in certain geographic regions to American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). This new segment presentation reflects the Company's sharpened focus on its core global Reinsurance Treaty business as well as its Global Wholesale & Specialty business, and positions the Company for strong performance across market cycles. Accordingly, the Company revised the presentation of its reportable segments to appropriately reflect how the business segments are now managed. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
In October 2025, Group entered into definitive agreements to sell the renewal rights for certain lines of the commercial retail insurance business written by the Company to AIG.
