Under the terms of the agreement, if the Renewal Rights were not sold by December 31, 2019, AIG had 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;">. On June 28, 2019, NSM acquired the Renewal Rights from AIG for </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$82.5 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

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 </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June 30, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and December 31, 2018, White Mountains reported 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 </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">three and six months ended</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June 30, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, 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 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;">June 30, 2019</span> that is deemed probable of having a material adverse effect on White Mountains’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
