AXA XL CEO Greg Hendrick, said: “The completion of the transfer ensures that XLICSE can continue to work with clients and brokers to offer solutions for business that would otherwise potentially be disrupted by the UK leaving the EU. Today’s successful transfer is a culmination of the extraordinary efforts of my own colleagues and the diligence and expertise of those at the Central Bank of Ireland.”

In the UK, AXA XL will retain XL Catlin Insurance Company UK (XLCICL), which is a UK-regulated insurance company and its Lloyd’s of London operations (Syndicates 2003 and 3002).
