Our Bermuda office advised Ancient Financial on its acquisition of F&G Life Re Ltd from F&G Annuity & Life, Inc. (NYSE: FG). The deal closed on 2 March 2026, and the Bermuda entity will now be renamed Ancient Re Ltd. In connection with the transaction, F&G will enter into a forward-flow reinsurance agreement with Ancient Re for multi-year guaranteed annuity new business.
 
We acted as Bermuda counsel for Ancient Finance, working in collaboration with Sidley who acted as U.S. Counsel. 
 
Congratulation to our Bermuda team, partners Leonie Tear and Sarah Demerling supported by senior associates Samantha Walker and Joshua Bradbury.
