No purchase price was disclosed, but the move signals deployment of the $1.08B cash proceeds from that divestiture. Q2 results provide the first clean look at the company post-transformation, with revenue of $0. The acquisition adds a new specialty insurance platform, potentially reshaping the investment thesis.
