  • Advised China Re on its USD 50 million Rule 4(2) Note, the first Chinese catastrophe bond transaction. The deal included the formation of a Bermuda special purpose insurer, Panda Re Ltd., established for the purpose of issuing cat bond notes which are listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange. The issuance provided China Re with protection against Chinese earthquake exposures.
  • Advised Munich Re on the renewal of its fully collateralised reinsurance sidecar. The transaction used the existing special purpose insurer, Eden Re II Ltd. acting for and on behalf of the Segregated Account 2016-1, to offer two classes of cat bond notes. In particular, the Class B Notes were offered as a private placement to investors in the 2015 sidecar using a roll-forward mechanism.
