UPC Insurance Completes Its Acquisition of Interboro Insurance Company
United Insurance Holdings Corp., a property and casualty insurance holding company, today announced that it has successfully closed on its acquisition of Interboro Insurance Company.
UPC Insurance acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Interboro Insurance Company for $57.0 million. UPC Insurance paid $48.5 million of cash at closing and issued an $8.5 million promissory note to Interboro LLC, which note will mature in 18 months after closing of the transaction and bear interest at an annual rate of 6%. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment if Interboro Insurance Company’s GAAP net book value is less than or greater than $40.7 million as of the post-closing accounting of the transaction.
UPC Insurance was advised in this transaction by Raymond James & Associates and the law firm of Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP. Willis Capital Markets & Advisory acted as exclusive financial advisor and Nixon Peabody LLP served as legal counsel to Interboro LLC in connection with the transaction.
“We are pleased to have closed on this important strategic initiative, but it is the beginning not the end of this phase of our journey. Interboro has been around for over 100 years, and has an excellent book of homeowners’ business in New York and South Carolina. We look forward to welcoming our new associates from Interboro to the UPC family, and to working with them to grow the business in a meaningful way” – President and Chief Executive Officer of UPC Insurance, John Forney.
