Für 17 Milliarden Dollar übernimmt Aon den US-Versicherungsmakler USI und stärkt damit sein Geschäft mit mittelständischen Kunden. Für Großaktionär KKR wird der Deal zum Milliardengewinn.
New York - Irish insurance and risk management firm Aon is set to acquire USI Insurance Services, the tenth largest insurance broker in the United States, for $17 billion (approximately €14.67 billion) from US investor KKR and other shareholders. This acquisition will expand Aon's portfolio of mid-sized customers. KKR stands to gain a profit of $3.3 billion (€2.8 billion) from the sale, according to a statement.
The transaction is expected to result in a net adjusted profit of around $2 billion (€1.7 billion) for the private-equity group. KKR first invested in USI in 2017, valuing the company at around $4.3 billion (€3.7 billion). USI provides property and liability insurance, employee benefits, and products for personal risks and retirement.
As of Monday, the company employs over 10,500 people and operates nearly 200 offices across the United States. Mike Sicard, USI's President and CEO, will become Aon's President and the global CEO of the mid-sized business in the new arrangement, reporting to Aon CEO Greg Case. Sicard will also join Aon's executive board.
