Catlin’s announcement also explained that under the sale agreement, first announced last December, “Aioi has acquired shares from CICL as well as other shareholders, and as a result of the transaction Aioi now owns 75.01 percent of BIGL.
“CICL has received cash proceeds of approximately £85 million [$126 million] from the sale. Following the completion of the sale, the Catlin Board of Directors has declared a special dividend of 11.7 pence [app. 17 U.S. cents] per share payable on 24 April 2015 to shareholders of record at close of business on 10 April 2015.
