This acquisition resolved a regulatory crisis triggered by French supervisor ACPR restrictions in late September 2026, allowing Wakam to resume new business and renew policies. The transaction involved a nominal value with a 'best fortune' return clause, and AmTrust's 14% stake in the management structure remains unchanged.
