This rating action follows the Coralisle Group's announcement on Sept. 7, 2021 that it has agreed to acquire a 100% stake in Barbados-based Massy United Insurance Ltd. (Massy United) for $90.5 million; a portion of the amount is expected to be financed and the remainder funded with cash reserves. The transaction is expected to close in early 2022 following the relevant regulatory approvals.
