ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Baton Rouge, Louisiana-headquartered Cadence Insurance, Inc. (Cadence Insurance), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cadence Bank (NYSE:CADE). The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Cadence Insurance offers a full suite of commercial property/casualty, employee benefits and personal lines products to clients from 34 offices spanning 9 different states across the Southeast, including Texas. The Cadence Insurance team led by Markham McKnight and Chris Boone will operate under the direction of Bumpy Triche, head of Gallagher's Mid-South retail property/casualty brokerage operations and Robby White, head of Gallagher's South-Central region employee benefits consulting and brokerage operations.

"Cadence Insurance is a fast-growing agency with strong niche capabilities across Construction, Real Estate, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Professional Services. With a similar culture, a high-performing team and a significant Southeastern presence there are immense long-term growth opportunities as part of Gallagher," said J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr., Chairman, President and CEO. "I look forward to welcoming Markham, Chris and the nearly 800 Cadence Insurance colleagues to our growing Gallagher family of professionals."

The acquisition is expected to expand Gallagher's property/casualty and employee benefits presence across several states in the Southeast and Texas and broaden our capabilities across multiple niche practice groups, including Construction, Real Estate, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Professional Services and high-net-worth personal lines.

As part of the transaction, Gallagher will become the preferred insurance broking partner of Cadence Bank.  

Financial Terms
Cadence Insurance pro forma revenues and EBITDAC (including minimal expected expense synergies) for the trailing 12 months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $170 million and $62 million, respectively. Under the agreement, Gallagher will acquire the stock of Cadence Insurance for $749 million, which is net of Gallagher's discounted tax benefit associated with the transaction of approximately $155 million. Integration costs and expected non-cash management retention costs are expected to total $70 million over the next 3 years.

Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE:AJG), a global insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting services firm, is headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Gallagher provides these services in approximately 130 countries around the world through its owned operations and a network of correspondent brokers and consultants.
