XL Group has completed its $4.1 billion acquisition of Catlin, in a move which sees Catlin de-listed from the London Stock Exchange.

New XL shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Bermuda Stock Exchange today, May 1, 2015, with settlement of the cash consideration expected to take place by May 15, 2015.

The new entity, to be known as XL Catlin, will boast some $10 billion of total net premiums and more than $3 billion of net reinsurance premiums, making it one of the ten biggest reinsurance groups globally.

Starting today, we are a larger, stronger, more capable firm, with a leading presence in the global specialty insurance and reinsurance markets. Most importantly, with our combined talent and expertise we are now in an incredible position to better assist clients in solving the world’s most complex risks.”
