Aon Sells Auto Insurance

Aon Corp. is easily one of the world’s largest insurance brokers, if not the largest. Last year they announced that they would be selling the auto insurance arm of their company, and the deal was finalized this last week.

The company announced in October that they would be selling Auto Insurance Specialists, and have finally completed the deal. They are selling their auto insurance arm to another auto insurance company. Mercury General Corp. had announced that they would be purchasing their auto insurance portfolio.

As a result of the auto insurance sale, Aon received $120 million in cash for all of the equity interests that had been issued and were outstanding of the auto insurance company. Auto Insurance Specialists’ parent company is AIS Management LLC, and it was their shares that needed to be sold.

The company also has the possibility of receiving up to another $34.7 million over the next two years. The auto insurance company will need to meet certain performance benchmarks, and if they do there is more money for Aon in it. As a result of the transaction closing on Friday there were some changes in their afternoon trading – for both companies. Aon saw their shares fall 24 cents to close at $43.87; while Mercury saw theirs go up 43 cents to close at $45.25.

There is no talk yet how the sale will affect current auto insurance customers of the company, but it is expected to be business as usual at least initially.
