2. Acquisitions

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 $44 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 further advanced our goal of greater product, customer, and geographical diversification by obtaining a controlling interest in our investment in Huatai Group, as we 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. Accordingly, Chubb remeasured the 64.2 percent equity method investment to its fair value of $4.1 billion as of July 1, 2023, resulting in a one-time realized gain of $763 million after-tax, reflecting the remeasurement of the previously held equity interest's historical carrying value to fair value. There was also a net realized and unrealized loss of $17 million after-tax reflecting the write-off of AOCI loss balances accumulated while under equity method accounting of $611 million with an offset to realized loss of $628 million.

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 paid prior to 2024, and $236 million of which was paid in 2024. Our aggregate ownership interest in Huatai Group was approximately 85.5 percent as of December 31, 2024. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into an agreement to purchase approximately 1.0 percent of incremental ownership interests. Chubb has total outstanding agreements for approximately 1.6 percent of incremental ownership interests, pending completion of certain closing conditions.

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.

Cigna’s Accident and Health (A&H) and Life Insurance Business in Asian Markets

On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the life and non-life insurance companies that house the personal accident, supplemental health, and life insurance business of Cigna in several Asian markets. Chubb paid approximately $5.4 billion in cash for the operations, which include Cigna's accident and health (A&H) and life business in Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia, collectively referred to as Cigna's business in Asia.
