Penta-backed Esure moves forward with IPO plans

The Reigate-based property and casualty insurance company is looking to use proceeds from the offering to repay £50m worth of perpetual subordinated loan notes.

Esure was acquired by Penta, supported by Electra Partners and Maven Capital Partners, in a £270m buyout from Lloyds Banking Group in January 2010.

In 2012, the company's pre-tax profits amounted to £115.5m, a 110% increase from the year prior, with a trading profit of £138.1m. Its combined operating ratio is 92.8%.
