Malibu Life Holdings Limited announced on Oct. 14, 2025, that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TruSpire, which is licensed in 44 states and holds licenses for fixed-index annuity products. TruSpire has been dormant and has some run-off life and annuity business. The company’s capital and surplus has been sufficient to support its business so far, with modest net income.
