• Acquisition will add up to $20 billion in AUM for Blue Owl and support the launch of Blue Owl Insurance Solutions
• Blue Owl also invested $250 million in Kuvare UK Holdings

NEW YORK, April 3, 2024 — Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”) (NYSE: OWL), a leading alternative asset manager, announced today it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Kuvare Insurance Services LP (dba Kuvare Asset Management) (“KAM”) for $750 million. 

KAM is a boutique investment management firm focused on providing asset management services to the insurance industry, including Kuvare UK Holdings (“Kuvare”). Blue Owl will fund the KAM acquisition through a combination of $325 million in cash and $425 million in Blue Owl Class A common stock. The KAM acquisition is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2024 and remains subject to customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions and specified termination rights. Upon closing of the KAM acquisition, most KAM employees are expected to join Blue Owl. In addition, there is potential for up to a $250 million earnout subject to certain adjustments and achievements of future revenue targets.

Separately, Blue Owl made a long-term investment in Kuvare today, purchasing $250 million of preferred equity. This investment creates long-term alignment between Blue Owl and Kuvare and provides valuable growth capital to Kuvare’s insurance companies, each of which will become new asset management clients of Blue Owl. Founded in 2015, Kuvare is a technology-enabled financial services firm operating several insurance and reinsurance businesses and has become a top 20 fixed and indexed annuity writer in the United States. Kuvare’s business segments include retail, institutional reinsurance and specialty insurance advisory services.

In addition to the preferred equity investment, Blue Owl and Kuvare entered into investment management agreements (“IMAs”) that will allow Blue Owl to deploy up to $3 billion of assets across its existing Credit, GP Strategic Capital and Real Estate investment platforms, which can grow over time. Upon the closing of the KAM acquisition, Blue Owl will be allocated up to $20 billion of AUM, in aggregate. Kuvare will continue to manage the overall asset allocations for its insurance businesses and strategic investments. Blue Owl’s IMAs with Kuvare insurance companies will be additive to Blue Owl’s permanent capital base while enhancing Kuvare’s investment capabilities.

These transactions are expected to be accretive to Blue Owl in 2024.

Doug Ostrover, Co-CEO of Blue Owl said: “The creation of Blue Owl Insurance Solutions represents a significant moment in Blue Owl’s journey. Our acquisition of KAM allows us to provide broader solutions to the multi-trillion-dollar insurance market at scale. KAM’s capabilities in investment grade credit and real estate strategies supplement Blue Owl’s existing strength in these asset classes and further accelerate our ability to bring differentiated products and strategies to the market for Kuvare and third-party insurance clients.”

Marc Lipschultz, Co-CEO of Blue Owl said: “Our preferred equity investment in Kuvare reflects our confidence in the growth trajectory of the business; both through its extensive distribution network and proven reinsurance strategy. This partnership with Kuvare anchors Blue Owl’s expanding presence in the insurance channel, greatly complementing our robust institutional and wealth footprint and further diversifying the markets for which we provide investment solutions. In aggregate, we believe these transactions reflect a creative approach to expanding our offerings for the insurance market at an attractive price.”

Dhiren Jhaveri, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Kuvare added: “It is an important and exciting step in the evolution of Kuvare to associate in such an impactful way with an asset manager of Blue Owl’s caliber. We always strive to be excellent stewards of assets entrusted to us by our policyholders and reinsurance partners, and the team at Blue Owl has demonstrated a unique commitment to helping us achieve our goals. We especially look forward to continued collaboration with our many valued KAM colleagues who will join the Blue Owl team at close of this transaction.”

Pollen Street today announces that Wide Group has completed the acquisition of Assileo Broker Srl (“Assileo”). Assileo is a Milan-based commercial broker with capabilities across transportation, construction, energy and corporate insurance, with a presence in Milan and Genoa. The business was founded in 2000 by current management, who will remain in the business post completion.

Wide Group is the leading technology-led commercial broking consolidator in Italy, and the acquisition of Assileo will expand both the group’s scale and capability in the Milan market and add a presence in Genoa. Wide has a strong M&A pipeline of potential targets to build on the momentum of this acquisition, driven by a highly fragmented insurance broking market in Italy, with significant potential for synergistic consolidation.

Gianluca Melani, Co-founder & Managing Director of Wide Group, commented:

“We are thrilled to welcome Flavio Sestilli, Michele Leonarduzzi and Giovanni Battista Campo, and all the colleagues from Assileo Broker into the Wide Family. With this operation, we mutually enrich ourselves with a history and expertise in insurance that has been passed down for three generations, along with new synergistic skills that align with the current setup of our operational model.

This funding will be instrumental in accelerating the Company’s growth, expanding collaborations with insurers across regions, and investing in the next generation of the CareVoiceOS platform.

Since the Fund’s first investment in CareVoice in 2019, Apis’ team has contributed to several areas of expansion and development at the Company. These efforts include supporting business development activities to attract enterprise customers, leveraging Apis’ network in the insurance industry, and engaging stakeholders to facilitate these partnerships. Apis’ investment philosophy aligns with the Company’s mission to revolutionize the way insurers engage with their customers for a healthier life. Together, CareVoice and Apis will work to deliver personalized, data-driven health and wellness solutions to insurance customers worldwide.

These strategic moves further fuel the Company’s mission to unlock the next growth frontier for the life and health insurance industry by adopting embedded health solutions at global scale.

Sebastien Gaudin, CEO and Co-founder of CareVoice, said: “We are collaborating with two types of insurers, those early movers in the health and wellness space who are already aware of the gaps in their capabilities, and new entrants who want to accelerate, avoiding the pitfalls and challenges other insurers have faced. Both types are looking to generate additional profitable insurance business directly and through attracting and retaining healthier customer profiles. We see an exciting future development of this partnership approach which delivers mutual growth.”

Matteo Stefanel and Udayan Goyal, Co-Founders and Managing Partners at Apis Partners, stated: “The success of CareVoice is clear, demonstrated by the revenue growth of 2x year-on-year by the end of 2023, and the geographical expansion to 15 countries worldwide.

BACK TO PRESS RELEASES

Miller is a leading specialist insurance and reinsurance broker operating across the UK and internationally. Miller supports clients across a wide range of specialist areas, including Marine & Energy, Property & Casualty, Sports & Entertainment, Construction, Professional & Financial lines and Reinsurance. Miller places more than $3.2bn of premiums annually for more than 4,500 clients globally. The Company is headquartered in London with more than 900 staff across its international office network.

Having been identified as an attractive investment opportunity in the Financial Services sector, Miller was acquired by the Cinven Strategic Financials Fund (‘SFF’) and GIC, a global institutional investor, from Willis Towers Watson in March 2021. Cinven and GIC have worked in close partnership with the Company’s management team to support Miller’s evolution into a leading independent challenger in specialist broking and a destination of choice for high-quality entrepreneurial brokers. This strategy has been supported by Miller’s strong culture and reputation for best-in-market client service. 

Miller has delivered strong growth and profitability since the acquisition by Cinven and GIC by:

• Driving market share gains across specialist insurance niches, where Miller is recognised for its high-quality service and product expertise;
• Cementing Miller’s position as an employer of choice within the specialist insurance sector, allowing the business to attract high-quality brokers to enhance organic growth and support new product launches, including Reinsurance, Bloodstock & Livestock, Farms & Estates, Media and renewable energy propositions;
• Completing two bolt-on acquisitions as part of a targeted M&A strategy, which enhanced Miller’s footprint and product offering across Continental Europe and Asia;
• Supporting significant investment in the organisation, strengthening the senior management team and wider finance, M&A and operational functions;
• Maintaining a strong focus on operational excellence, centralising core functions across the business and implementing industry best practices, including introducing more efficient, tech-enabled processes; and
• Enhancing Miller’s digital capabilities, including the transition to a new customer engagement platform which has been rolled out across the organisation.

Commenting on the investment, Luigi Sbrozzi, Partner at Cinven said: 

“We are very proud of the journey Miller has travelled over the last three years and its strong growth during that time, which has been supported by expanding into new geographies and product lines. It is a great example of Cinven’s strategy to support leading companies with sustainable, resilient business models that can perform well through macroeconomic cycles. We wish the team continued success in the future.”

Juan Monge, Partner at Cinven, said: 

“We have greatly enjoyed working with James, Neil and the wider Miller team to deliver on the company’s growth ambitions as an independent platform. We have been impressed by the business’ continuous focus on excellence and on identifying, attracting and successfully onboarding complementary new broker teams and businesses. We believe Miller is well-positioned to continue its strong track record of growth in the next leg of its journey.”

James Hands, CEO of Miller added: 

“When Miller returned to independence in 2021, we outlined a bold and ambitious vision and today’s announcement reflects how we’ve delivered against this. We have meaningfully grown our revenues, both organically and inorganically, added well over 250 colleagues across the UK, Europe, Asia and Bermuda and built on our reputation for market-leading specialism and highest quality of service to our clients. Our shareholders have been pivotal in helping us to achieve this, and I would like to thank Cinven for their support and investment.” 

Completion of the transaction is expected at the end of the first quarter of 2024 and is subject to customary regulatory and antitrust approvals. 

Closer Coordination and Alignment Expected to Further Accelerate Growth of Both KKR and Global Atlantic

KKR Announces Other Strategic Initiatives to Benefit Shareholders

KKR and Global Atlantic to Host a Conference Call at 10:00 a.m. EST

NEW YORK & HAMILTON, Bermuda–(BUSINESS WIRE)– KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE: KKR) and Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC (“Global Atlantic” or “GA”) today announced a definitive agreement under which KKR will acquire the remaining 37% stake of leading insurance company Global Atlantic, increasing KKR’s ownership to 100%.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231129605147/en/

Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR, stated: “The strategic partnership we envisioned three years ago has exceeded our expectations. It has been transformative for both businesses and a great cultural fit that has enabled us to contribute to Global Atlantic’s continued strong performance and success, while also being a key driver of growth for KKR. We expect the new ownership structure will foster even closer collaboration, allowing us to fully leverage our complementary strengths and grow faster together.”

Since 2021, KKR has served as Global Atlantic’s asset manager, offering access to its global investment and origination capabilities for the benefit of GA’s policyholders. Global Atlantic’s assets under management have grown significantly, up from $72 billion in 2020 to $158 billion today. As Global Atlantic has grown, it has benefited from the scale of KKR’s asset management businesses in meeting GA’s investment needs while maintaining a focus on risk management and continuing to deliver market-leading returns. The strategic partnership has proven to be both an important source of capital for Global Atlantic and a driver of international growth, with Global Atlantic leveraging KKR’s global reach to establish new business relationships in Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.

At the same time, Global Atlantic has been a source of financial success for KKR and a key element of KKR’s growing real estate credit and asset-based financing businesses, both of which manage assets that are particularly well suited for insurance company balance sheets.

“We are taking this step because we have demonstrated, over the last three years, that we are stronger together. Being part of KKR has strengthened our position as a leading insurance company and enhanced our ability to deliver compelling solutions for our clients. Moving from a diverse group of shareholders to a single one with KKR clarifies our objectives and allows us to think―and invest―longer term,” said Allan Levine, Chief Executive Officer of Global Atlantic. “Although we hope to unlock further value by taking this step in our capital structure, neither our client-first approach nor our investment and risk management framework will change, and the day-to-day experience of our clients and colleagues will feel very much the same as it does today.”

After closing, Global Atlantic will continue to be led by its management team and operate under the Global Atlantic brand.

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the agreement, KKR will pay Global Atlantic’s minority shareholders an amount in cash equal to 1.0x Global Atlantic’s book value with certain adjustments. The total cash purchase price is currently estimated to be approximately $2.7 billion. Global Atlantic management is expected to exchange a majority of its Global Atlantic equity interests for KKR equity. KKR will fund the transaction from its balance sheet, which had $23 billion of cash and investments as of September 30, 2023.

The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, is subject to customary closing conditions.

Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP acted as legal advisors to KKR and Global Atlantic, respectively. Barclays provided a fairness opinion for Global Atlantic.

Strategic Initiatives

KKR also announced a series of other Strategic Initiatives that are contingent on the closing of the Global Atlantic transaction. These include:

• Creating a new business segment, Strategic Holdings. The new segment will principally be comprised of KKR’s Core Private Equity balance sheet holdings. Core Private Equity has scaled into a business with $35 billion of assets under management, including $6.5 billion of assets on KKR’s balance sheet. Given the maturation and strong performance of these companies, KKR expects to begin receiving more recurring cash dividends from this segment of the balance sheet.
• Modifying its compensation structure to be more success based. KKR will draw a greater share of compensation from carried interest instead of fee related earnings. The adjustment is expected to result in enhanced shareholder value by delivering more of the firm’s recurring revenues to shareholders.
• Introducing a new reporting framework. KKR will report a new key metric, Total Operating Earnings, which will be comprised of Fee Related Earnings, Strategic Holdings and Insurance Operating Earnings. KKR expects Total Operating Earnings will highlight the growth of its more recurring earnings streams.

KKR expects the Strategic Initiatives, combined with the expanded ownership of Global Atlantic, to be accretive to all of its per share earnings metrics.

Bae and Nuttall added: “We remain focused on performing through cycles for the millions of clients and policyholders counting on us — with a business model that allows us to compound earnings and value for the very long term while retaining our culture. Today’s announcements are in service of that vision — more fully establishing three avenues for long term sustained growth, further increasing our optimism about the path ahead.”

Conference Call Information and Additional Details

KKR is holding a conference call to discuss the Global Atlantic transaction and Strategic Initiatives on November 29 at 10:00 a.m. EST. Allan Levine, Chief Executive Officer of Global Atlantic, will join the call. The conference call may be accessed through the Investor Relations section of KKR’s website at ir.kkr.com or by dialing 1-877-407-0312 (U.S.) or 1-201-389-0899 (non-U.S.); a pass code is not required.
