Legacy Specialist DARAG Completes First Acquisition in Luxembourg

December 22, 2020

DARAG Group Ltd., the Malta-based legacy acquirer, announced the completion of its purchase of Arisa Assurances SA, a Luxembourg-based automobile and travel insurance company previously owned by ADAC Versicherung AG.

The transaction, announced in August, was conducted through DARAG’s German risk carrier, DARAG Deutsche Versicherungs- und Rückversicherungs-AG, and has received all requisite regulatory approvals.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

Arisa is DARAG’s first company acquisition in Luxembourg. The insurance portfolio, consisting primarily of motor third party liability business, will subsequently be transferred to DARAG Deutsche Versicherungs- und Rückversicherungs-AG with effect for its Luxembourg branch which will be established.

“Our local expertise and operational capabilities are paramount to maintaining DARAG’s reputation and leading position in the European legacy market and our business continues to develop in the region as a result,” said Tom Booth, CEO of DARAG.

“The efficient Arisa transaction process is testament to our understanding of the local market and the seamless collaboration between DARAG and the professional teams at ADAC and Arisa,” he added.
