COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Although the headlines may focus on billion dollar acquisitions, the breadth, scope, and varieties of mergers, acquisitions, and financial activities impact insurers of every size and every corporate formation. Joseph Schneider, Managing Director, KPMG Corporate Finance, LLC will coordinate a panel consisting of William D. Greiter, Director, Acquisitions and Divestures, American Family, Kyle Schmitt, Managing Director, J. D. Power and Michael Terelmes, Senior Vice President and CFO, Sirius Global Solutions.

Joe Petrelli, President, Demotech, declares, "Insurance companies and their leaders need to understand the rules of engagement with respect to mergers and acquisitions. The four members of this panel are, in my opinion, uniquely qualified to discuss every aspect of the subject matter. Whether it is a board's role in strategic and financial planning, baselining your performance metrics, regulatory or third party perspectives, understanding how investment professionals evaluate insurers, or evaluating the financial implications of a merger or consolidation, officers and board members need to go beyond the headlines and dig deeper into key analytics. This is their opportunity to do so."
