Enstar acquires insurance group
Enstar Group is set to acquire insurance group Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of South Carolina for $218 million.
Companion is a South Carolina-based insurance group writing property, casualty, specialty and workers compensation business, and has also provided fronting and third party administrative services.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.
