Tokio Marine Group Announces New U.S. Holding Company

24-May-2011 | News-Press Release

Bala Cynwyd, PA, May 19, 2011 –Tokio Marine Group, the parent company of Philadelphia Insurance Companies (“PHLY”), announced plans for the formation of a new U.S. holding company to be called Tokio Marine North America (“TMNA”).  The establishment of this new entity was approved today by Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. Board of Directors.  

Tokio Marine North America will be the new parent company for all Tokio Marine Group entities in North America, including Philadelphia Insurance Companies.  In an effort to increase its position as a global top-tier insurance company, Tokio strengthened its presence in the U.S. market by acquiring Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corp. in December of 2008.  PHLY’s Chairman and CEO Jamie Maguire will be the new CEO of TMNA.

“Our partnership with Tokio has been by all accounts a tremendous success.  The formation of Tokio Marine North America will allow for organic growth and acquisition opportunities, while creating a unified company to facilitate expansion of Tokio’s international business,” said Maguire.

As part of the establishment of TMNA, a shared services company (“SSC”) will be created to consolidate the operations of PHLY and U.S. insurance business of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd (“TMNF”).  The SSC will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokio Marine North America and Craig Keller, CFO of Philadelphia Insurance Companies, will serve as the CEO.
