Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 28, 2017, Enstar Group Limited (the "Company") entered into an employment agreement (the "Agreement") with Guy Bowker in advance of his previously disclosed transition to the role of Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which was effective January 1, 2018. Mr. Bowker, age 40, served as the Company's Chief Accounting Officer since joining the Company on September 8, 2015. From 2010 to 2015, Mr. Bowker held the role of Senior Vice President - Controller of Platinum Underwriters Holdings, Ltd. From 2007 to 2010 he was the Director of Finance for American International Group in Bermuda. He is an alumnus of Deloitte's insurance practice and a member of Chartered Professional Accountants Bermuda and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand. He is also a Chartered Insurer and Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute in the United Kingdom.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Bowker will: (1) receive an annual base salary of $575,000; (2) be eligible for incentive compensation under the Company's incentive compensation programs; and (3) be entitled to certain employee benefits, including the payment of an annual amount equal to 10% of his base salary each year in lieu of a retirement benefit contribution. Any incentive-based compensation or award that Mr. Bowker receives from the Company is subject to clawback by the Company as required by applicable law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirements or the Company's Clawback Policy.
The Agreement provides that if Mr. Bowker's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" or by Mr. Bowker for "good reason," including if such termination occurs within one year of a change in control, Mr. Bowker would be entitled to: (1) a lump sum amount equal to his annual base salary; (2) continued medical benefits for him and his spouse and dependents for up to one year; and (3) a pro rata bonus in respect of the year of termination, based on the Company's achievement of the performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which Mr. Bowker participates.  The Agreement continues until terminated by either party in accordance with its terms; Mr. Bowker must provide the Company with at least 180 days' notice of termination without "good reason."
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 29, 2017, the Company, through its subsidiary Laguna Life Holdings SARL ("Laguna"), completed the previously announced sale of its subsidiary, Pavonia Holdings (US), Inc. ("Pavonia"), to Southland National Holdings, Inc. ("Southland"), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Global Bankers Insurance Group, LLC.  The aggregate purchase price was $120 million. The Company used the proceeds to make repayments under its revolving credit facility.
Pavonia owns Pavonia Life Insurance Company of Michigan ("PLIC MI") and Enstar Life (US), Inc.  Pursuant to the amended stock purchase agreement between Laguna and Southland, which partially restructured the transaction, Southland will acquire Pavonia Life Insurance Company of New York ("PLIC NY") for $13.1 million in a second closing that is expected to occur in the first or second quarter of 2018, subject to regulatory approval.  The additional purchase price represents the cash consideration paid by Laguna to PLIC MI when Laguna acquired PLIC NY from PLIC MI in the restructuring of the transaction.
