European P&C insurance run-off group Marco Capital Holdings Limited has completed its acquisition of Inceptum Insurance Company Limited, a UK non-life insurance company in run-off, from Randall & Quilter II Holdings Ltd.

The acquisition was initially announced earlier this year, with reports stating that R&Q would receive £11.25 million from the deal.

Back then, it was revealed that the agreement represents the sale of 100% of the shares of Inceptum to Marco, alongside the novation of any related reinsurance arrangements with other R&Q entities.

The deal followed the application made by R&Q on the 21st of June 2024, in the Bermuda Supreme Court, to appoint Joint Provisional Liquidators to oversee the liquidation and ultimately the winding up of the company.

As per Marco Capital, the transaction has received all required regulatory approvals and has now closed.

Simon Minshall, Marco CEO, commented, “The acquisition of Inceptum, a company itself in run-off, by Marco brings financial and operational stability to a complex and challenging situation for the benefit of all stakeholders.

“Executing a deal in such a complex situation is an example where Marco’s technical skills, experience, track record, and outstanding reputation are essential.”
