OLDWICK - AUGUST 21, 2026 01:06 PM (EDT)
AM Best has placed under review with positive implications the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) of At-Bay Specialty Insurance Company (ABSIC) (Atlanta, GA) following the announced acquisition of its parent company, At-Bay, Inc. by Munich Re America Corporation.
The Credit Ratings (ratings) have been placed under review with positive implications following the announcement that Munich Re America Corporation has entered into an agreement to acquire At Bay, Inc., a provider of integrated cyber insurance and cyber security solutions for total cyber risk protection. The under review with positive implications status reflects the potential financial and operational benefits that ABSIC may derive from being part of a significantly larger insurance organization, which is of greater financial strength.
The definitive agreement was concluded at an enterprise value of $575 million. The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The ratings will remain under review pending completion of the transaction and AM Best’s evaluation of parental support, integration plans and the expected impact on ABSIC’s future business plans.
