AXA XL merges AXA Corporate Solutions and AXA ART into XL Insurance Company

AXA XL, the property & casualty and specialty risk division of AXA, has successfully merged AXA Corporate Solutions (ACS) and AXA ART into XL Insurance Company SE (XLICSE).

The merger, which was approved by the relevant regulatory authorities including the Central Bank of Ireland and the Irish High Court, became effective on December 31 2019.

The decision to merge ACS and AXA ART into XLICSE was taken following the acquisition of XL Group by AXA, which was completed in September 2018.

On December 31 2019 XLICSE assumed the entire business of ACS and AXA ART and became the insurer or reinsurer of each policy previously underwritten. There will be no other changes to the terms of existing policies.

Commenting on the announcement, AXA XL’s chief executive officer Greg Hendrick, said: “We are extremely pleased to have completed this merger. Consolidating our legal entities across AXA XL allows us to streamline our processes to the benefit of our clients and brokers. I am proud of the AXA XL team for their dedication and the work undertaken in the last year, which has led to the successful establishment and unification of AXA XL.”
