CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 15, 2023 ~ Amwins Group, Inc., the largest P&C wholesale broker and global distributor of specialty insurance products and services in the U.S., has completed a significant recapitalization transaction with its existing shareholder group. The transaction saw Dragoneer Investment Group, Genstar Capital, SkyKnight Capital, L.P., and employee shareholders purchase $1 billion in equity from more than 375 Amwins employee shareholders and Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP). PSP rolled 80% of their equity position forward.

The completion of the recapitalization transaction means that the employee shareholder group will remain the largest single ownership group with approximately 40% ownership of Amwins. According to Scott Purviance, Chief Executive Officer of Amwins, this was intentional in order to provide their shareholder base periodic opportunities for liquidity without needing to raise outside capital.
