(“AIG”) to help facilitate a sale of NSM’s U.S. collector car renewal rights owned by AIG to a third party by December 31, 2019. Under the terms of the agreement, if the renewal rights are not sold by December 31, 2019, AIG has the right to require NSM to purchase the renewal rights for </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$82.5 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The Company has guaranteed NSM’s obligations under the agreement with AIG. The manner in which these obligations are ultimately discharged depends on a number of factors, including the market value of the renewal rights, the number of potential buyers and the current and prospective environment for U.S. collector car insurance. White Mountains believes that the estimated fair value of the renewal rights is equal to or greater than </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$82.5 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and, accordingly, no accrual of a liability is necessary as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March 31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Sirius Group Tax Contingency</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A subsidiary of Sirius Group, which was sold by White Mountains in 2016, has been denied interest deductions by the Swedish Tax Authority (“STA”) for tax years 2013-2016. In October 2018, the Swedish Administrative Court ruled against Sirius Group on its appeal of the Swedish Tax Agency’s denial of certain interest deductions relating to periods prior to the sale of Sirius Group to CMI. In connection with the sale, White Mountains indemnified Sirius Group against the loss of certain tax attributes, including those related to these interest deductions. As a result, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, White Mountains recorded a liability of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$16.6 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$17.3 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, reflecting the value of these interest deductions. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the change in the liability, of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$0.7 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, is related to foreign currency translation and is included within net gain on sale of discontinued operations. Sirius Group has appealed the decision to the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Legal Contingencies</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">White Mountains is subject to litigation and arbitration in the normal course of business. White Mountains recognizes an accrual for litigation and arbitration if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. White Mountains discloses litigation and arbitration if it is probable that a loss has been incurred or if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. White Mountains does not have any current litigation as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">March 31, 2019</span> that is deemed probable of having a material adverse effect on White Mountains’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | |
