The Company’s wholly owned reinsurance subsidiary, FG Reinsurance Ltd (“FGRe”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company, provides specialty property and casualty reinsurance. FGRe has been granted a Class B (iii) insurer license in accordance with the terms of The Insurance Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands and underlying regulations thereto and is subject to regulation by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the “Authority”). The terms of the license require advance approval from the Authority should FGRe wish to enter into any reinsurance agreements which are not fully collateralized.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Board approved a plan to evaluate the potential sale of the Company’s reinsurance business. As a result, management evaluated the classification of its reinsurance business as a discontinued operation as of December 31, 2024 and determined the reinsurance business is a component of an entity and represented a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the reinsurance business has been included as part of discontinued operations for all periods presented.
