"We are extremely pleased to be joining forces with one of the world's elite insurance companies," said Mark Wilhelm, CEO of Safety National. "Tokio Marine's A++ Best rating and financial size, with approximately $200 billion in assets, will offer Safety National unquestioned financial security for the future. Tokio Marine's previous high-profile acquisitions of Philadelphia Insurance Companies and Kiln Group Limited demonstrate their desire to build a top-tier global group of insurance companies. We are proud to be among this group and look forward to the benefits that this merger will provide to our brokers and policyholders."
Safety National's executive management team will remain intact and the merger closing will have no affect on Safety National's day-to-day operations.
