Acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re | ACQUISITION OF TOKIO MILLENNIUM RE Overview The aggregate consideration for the TMR Stock Purchase, which closed on March 22, 2019, was $1.6 billion, consisting of cash, RenaissanceRe common shares and a special dividend from the TMR Group Entities, as described in more detail below. The aggregate consideration paid at closing for the TMR Stock Purchase was based on the Company’s good faith estimate of the closing tangible book value of the TMR Group Entities and is subject to post-closing adjustment under the terms of the TMR Stock Purchase Agreement, which we expect to be completed no later than the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the closing of the TMR Stock Purchase, Tokio, RenaissanceRe Europe and RenaissanceRe UK entered into a reserve development agreement whereby RenaissanceRe Europe and RenaissanceRe UK agreed to cede to Tokio, and Tokio agreed to indemnify and reimburse RenaissanceRe Europe and RenaissanceRe UK for, substantially all of RenaissanceRe Europe and RenaissanceRe UK’s adverse development on stated reserves at time of the closing, including unearned premium reserves, subject to certain terms and conditions. The reserve development agreement provides the Company with indemnification on stated reserves, including unearned premium reserves, for RenaissanceRe Europe and RenaissanceRe UK, on a whole-account basis, and takes into consideration adverse performance across the Company’s reportable segments. To the extent the combined performance of acquired reserves for claims and claim expenses or unearned premiums is worse than expected on an aggregate basis across reportable segments, the Company is indemnified under the terms of the reserve development agreement and would expect to collect under the reserve development agreement. At closing, RenaissanceRe Europe and Tokio entered into a retrocessional agreement pursuant to which RenaissanceRe Europe ceded to Tokio all of its liabilities arising from certain stop loss reinsurance contracts RenaissanceRe Europe entered into with third party capital partners which were either in force as of the closing date or which incept prior to December 31, 2021. In connection with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $25.5 million of corporate expenses associated with the acquisition, comprised of $12.9 million of transaction-related costs, $5.9 million of integration-related costs, and $6.7 million of compensation-related costs. Purchase Price The Company's total purchase price for the TMR Group Entities was calculated as follows:
| Special Dividend |  |  |  |
| Special Dividend paid to common shareholders of Tokio and holders of Tokio equity awards |  |  | $ | 500,000 |  |
| RenaissanceRe common shares |  |  |  |
| Common shares issued by RenaissanceRe to Tokio | 1,739,071 |  |  |  |
| Common share price of RenaissanceRe (1) | $ | 143.75 |  |  |  |
| Market value of RenaissanceRe common shares issued by RenaissanceRe to Tokio |  |  | 249,998 |  |
| Cash consideration |  |  |  |
| Cash consideration paid by RenaissanceRe as acquisition consideration |  |  | 813,595 |  |
| Total purchase price |  |  | 1,563,593 |  |
| Less: Special Dividend paid to Tokio |  |  | (500,000 | ) |
| Net purchase price |  |  | $ | 1,063,593 |  |
(1) | RenaissanceRe common share price is based on the 30-day trailing volume weighted average price of $143.7539 as of market close on March 15, 2019, which approximates fair value.
Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of the Company based on estimated fair values on March 22, 2019, the date the transaction closed, as detailed below. The Company recognized goodwill of $13.1 million primarily attributable to the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired TMR Group Entities. There were no other adjustments to carried goodwill during the period ended March 31, 2019 reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2019. The Company recognized identifiable finite lived intangible assets of $11.2 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average period of 10.5 years, identifiable indefinite lived intangible assets of $6.8 million, and certain other adjustments to the fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and shareholders’ equity of the TMR Group Entities at March 22, 2019 as summarized in the table below:
| Shareholders’ equity of the TMR Group Entities at March 22, 2019 | $ | 1,032,961 |  |
| Adjustments for fair value, by applicable balance sheet caption: |  |
| Net deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired | (56,788 | ) |
| Net reserve for claims and claim expenses | 67,782 |  |
| Goodwill and intangible assets at March 22, 2019 of the TMR Group Entities | (6,569 | ) |
| Total adjustments for fair value by applicable balance sheet caption before tax impact | 4,425 |  |
| Other assets - net deferred tax liability related to fair value adjustments and value of business acquired | (2,606 | ) |
| Total adjustments for fair value by applicable balance sheet caption, net of tax | 1,819 |  |
| Adjustments for fair value of the identifiable intangible assets: |  |
| Identifiable indefinite lived intangible assets (insurance licenses) | 6,800 |  |
| Identifiable finite lived intangible assets (top broker relationships and renewal rights) | 11,200 |  |
| Identifiable intangible assets before tax impact | 18,000 |  |
| Other assets - deferred tax liability on identifiable intangible assets | (2,281 | ) |
| Total adjustments for fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and value of business acquired, net of tax | 15,719 |  |
| Total adjustments for fair value by applicable balance sheet caption, identifiable intangible assets and value of business acquired, net of tax | 17,538 |  |
| Shareholders’ equity of the TMR Group Entities at fair value | 1,050,499 |  |
| Total net purchase price paid by RenaissanceRe | 1,063,593 |  |
| Excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired assigned to goodwill | $ | 13,094 |  |
An explanation of the significant fair value adjustments and related future amortization is as follows:
• | Net deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired (“VOBA”) - to reflect the elimination of the TMR Group Entities’ net deferred acquisition costs, partially offset by the establishment of the value of business acquired asset, which represents the present value of the expected underwriting profit within the unearned premiums liability, net of reinsurance, less costs to service the related policies and a risk premium. The adjustment for VOBA will be amortized to acquisition expenses over approximately two years, as the contracts for business in-force as of the acquisition date expire. VOBA at March 22, 2019 and at March 31, 2019 was $287.6 million;
• | Reserve for claims and claim expenses - to reflect a decrease related to the present value of the net unpaid claims and claim expenses based on the estimated payout pattern, partially offset by an increase in net claims and claim expenses related to the estimated market based risk margin. The risk margin represents the estimated cost of capital required by a market participant to assume the net claims and claim expenses. This will be amortized using the projected discount and risk margin patterns of the net claims and claims expenses as of the acquisition date;
• | Identifiable indefinite lived and finite lived intangible assets - to establish the fair value of identifiable intangible assets related to the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities described in detail below; and
• | Other assets - to reflect the net deferred tax liability on identifiable intangible assets.
Identifiable intangible assets at March 22, 2019 and at March 31, 2019, consisted of the following, and are included in goodwill and other intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:
|  | Amount |  | Economic Useful Life |
| Top broker relationships | $ | 10,000 |  |  | 10.0 years |
| Renewal rights | 1,200 |  |  | 15.0 years |
| Insurance licenses | 6,800 |  |  | Indefinite |
| Net identifiable intangible assets at March 31, 2019 related to the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities | $ | 18,000 |  |  |  |
Amortization from the acquisition date, March 22, 2019, through March 31, 2019 was not material and, as a result, was not included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. An explanation of the identifiable intangible assets is as follows:
• | Top broker relationships - the value of the TMR Group Entities’ relationships with their top four brokers (Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., Aon plc, Willis Group Holdings Public Limited Company and Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc.) after taking into consideration the expectation of the renewal of these relationships and the associated expenses. These will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic useful life as of the acquisition date;
• | Renewal rights - the value of policy renewal rights after taking into consideration written premium on assumed retention ratios and the insurance cash flows and the associated equity cash flows from these renewal policies over the expected life of the renewals. These will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic useful life as of the acquisition date; and
• | Insurance licenses - the value of insurance licenses acquired which provide the ability to write reinsurance in all 50 states of the U.S. and the District of Columbia.
As part of the allocation of the purchase price, included in the adjustment to other assets in the table above is a deferred tax liability of $2.3 million related to the estimated fair value of the intangible assets recorded, as well as a net deferred tax liability of $2.6 million related to certain other adjustments to the fair values of the assets acquired, VOBA, liabilities assumed and shareholders’ equity. Other net deferred tax liabilities recorded primarily relate to differences between financial reporting and tax bases of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date, March 22, 2019. The Company estimates that none of the goodwill that was recorded will be deductible for income tax purposes. Financial Results The operating activities of the TMR Group Entities from the closing date, March 22, 2019, through March 31, 2019 were not material, and as a result were not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. As at March 31, 2019, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet reflects the combined entities. Taxation A net deferred tax liability of $5.7 million was established in conjunction with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities. A valuation allowance of $35.7 million has been recorded against the TMR Group Entities deferred tax assets, a predominant amount of which was related to the Company’s U.S. operations and was recorded prior to acquisition of the TMR Group Entities. The acquisition of the TMR Group Entities had no effect on the Company’s overall income tax expense in the first quarter of 2019. In addition, the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities had no effect on the Company’s existing valuation allowance condition, as a valuation allowance continues to be provided against a substantial portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets in Ireland, the U.K., Singapore and Switzerland as these operations have produced historical GAAP taxable losses, among other facts. A small valuation allowance continues to be recorded against finite lived tax carryforwards in the U.S. operations. Supplemental Pro Forma Information The following table presents unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and assumes the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the transaction been completed as of January 1, 2018 or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information does not give consideration to the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, synergies or asset dispositions that may result from the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities. In addition, unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information does not include the effects of costs associated with any restructuring or integration activities resulting from the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities, as they are nonrecurring.
|  | Three months ended |
|  | March 31, 2019 |  | March 31, 2018 |
| Total revenues | $ | 1,148,146 |  |  | $ | 725,269 |  |
| Net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders | 330,394 |  |  | 27,605 |  |
Among other adjustments, and in addition to the fair value adjustments and recognition of goodwill, VOBA and identifiable intangible assets noted above, other material nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities principally included certain adjustments to recognize transaction related costs, align accounting policies, and amortize fair value adjustments, VOBA, and identifiable definite lived intangible assets, net of related tax impacts. Defined Benefit Pension Plan The TMR Group Entities have a contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain employees, which was not material to RenaissanceRe’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The plan offers mandatory benefits as prescribed by the applicable law, as well as voluntary benefits. The TMR Group Entities and the members of the plan contribute a defined percentage of salary to the pension arrangement. At retirement, the accumulated contributions are converted into a pension. At March 22, 2019, the net balance sheet liability was $6.1 million, comprising $21.2 million of projected benefit obligation and $15.1 million of plan assets at fair value.
