"With this acquisition, we are gaining a highly experienced team whose talent and deep understanding of the local market will strengthen our capabilities. Everest Colombia's focus on corporate and upper-middle-market clients aligns with AIG's commitment to expand our commercial insurance offerings to clients and brokers across the Latin America region."

Upon completion of the transaction, subsidiaries of AIG will acquire 100 percent of the equity of Everest Colombia, including its licensed operations, employees and ongoing insurance business. AIG and Everest will work closely to ensure a seamless transition for clients, brokers and colleagues.

The transaction is expected to close in early 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
