HC2 chairman, president and CEO Philip Falcone said, "This transaction marks a significant milestone for establishing our insurance platform, while also supporting the continued growth of HC2. Given my prior role and experience investing in the insurance space, I believe this transaction specifically — and the sector more broadly — could be a big value driver for HC2."
"We are thrilled to partner with Jim Corcoran as the new Executive Chairman of our insurance unit, Continental Insurance Group Ltd., as Jim has significant experience in the insurance industry on both the corporate and regulatory side as the former Superintendent of the New York Insurance Department. Together with Jim, and the management team we’re bringing over from AFG, we see an opportunity to build an attractive portfolio of insurance businesses creating significant shareholder value."
