Insights

Enstar's $5.1B acquisition by Sixth Street closes, taking the insurance group private at $338 per share.

The $5.1 billion acquisition of Enstar by Sixth Street has officially closed, with shareholders receiving $338.00 in cash per ordinary share. This transaction marks a significant milestone for the global insurance group as it transitions from a publicly traded company to a private entity. The deal, which was first announced in July 2024 and received shareholder approval in November 2024, included participation from Liberty Strategic Capital, J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC, and other institutional investors alongside lead acquirer Sixth Street.

This acquisition represents a complete exit for Enstar's public shareholders at a substantial valuation. With the transaction's completion, Enstar's ordinary shares will no longer trade on public markets, though the company will continue operations as a standalone entity under the Enstar name. The company has also initiated the process to delist its preferred shares from NASDAQ, with no plans to list these securities on alternative exchanges.

For the insurance industry, this deal highlights the continuing interest from private capital in established insurance platforms with proven business models. Sixth Street's acquisition of Enstar gives them control of a leading player in the global (re)insurance market with particular expertise in legacy business management and run-off solutions. The private equity firm likely sees value in Enstar's specialized capabilities and stable business model that can generate returns without the quarterly pressures of public markets.

Under private ownership, Enstar will likely maintain its strategic focus while potentially having more flexibility for long-term planning and investments. The transaction also signals confidence in the insurance sector from sophisticated investors like Sixth Street, who typically seek businesses with predictable cash flows and opportunities for operational optimization.
