Healthy Paws

On May 31, 2024, we acquired the business of Healthy Paws Pet Insurance LLC, a managing general agent specializing in pet insurance, from Aon plc for approximately $300 million in cash. We recognized goodwill of $256 million and intangible assets of $39 million from this acquisition. Chubb has been the exclusive underwriter of Healthy Paws since 2013. The transaction positions Chubb to expand in a niche market with substantial growth potential. This business is assigned to the North America Commercial Insurance segment.

Huatai Group

Huatai Insurance Group Co., Ltd. (Huatai Group) is a Chinese financial services holding company and the parent company of, among others, Huatai Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai P&C), Huatai Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai Life), Huatai Asset Management Co., Ltd., and Huatai Baoxing Fund Management Co., Ltd., of which Huatai Group owns 100 percent, 80 percent, 91 percent, and 85 percent, respectively (collectively, Huatai).

On July 1, 2023, Chubb increased ownership interest from approximately 64.2 percent to approximately 69.6 percent. At that time, Chubb discontinued the equity method of accounting and applied consolidation accounting.

In the first quarter of 2024, we closed on incremental ownership interests of approximately 9.0 percent for $555 million, $319 million of which was previously paid prior to 2024, and $236 million was paid in 2024. Our aggregate ownership interest in Huatai Group was approximately 85.5 percent as of June 30, 2024. Chubb has outstanding agreements for approximately 0.6 percent of incremental ownership interests, pending completion of certain closing conditions. We have paid deposits of $12 million related to these outstanding agreements, with approximately $24 million remaining to be paid upon closing, based on current exchange rates.

The acquisition of a controlling majority interest in Huatai Group on July 1, 2023, generated $3,458 million of Goodwill, attributable to expected growth and profitability, and $1,655 million of Other intangible assets. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Additionally, the acquisition generated $309 million of Value of business acquired (VOBA). Chubb financed the transaction through available cash on hand. Direct costs related to the acquisition are immaterial, and were expensed as incurred. These include one-time costs that are directly attributable to third-party consulting fees and other professional and legal fees related to the acquisition.
