Everest Sells Retail Commercial Insurance Renewal Rights to AIG for $252 Million
Everest Group agreed on October 26, 2025 to sell renewal rights for certain commercial property and casualty insurance lines to American International Group (AIG). The U.S. and rest-of-world portion has an aggregate purchase price of $252 million and closed October 26, 2025, while the European Union portion is priced at $49 million and still requires European Commission antitrust approval. The company says the deals sharpen its focus on reinsurance and its Global Wholesale and Specialty Insurance business, and that they will release significant capital over time.
Key points
- ROW agreement: $252 million purchase price, with the transaction closing on October 26, 2025.
- EU agreement: $49 million purchase price, pending European Commission antitrust approval and other customary closing conditions.
- Purchase price is adjusted to 15% of actual 2025 premiums written; if renewed premiums fall below 80% of 2025 premiums, Everest may reimburse up to $70 million.
- Jason Keen was appointed CEO of Global Wholesale and Specialty Insurance; AIG pays $10 million per month for nine months for transition services.
