Bermuda-based PartnerRe Ltd. confirmed that its shareholders voted to approve the proposed acquisition of the Company by EXOR, and all related transactions, at a Special General Meeting of shareholders held at the Company’s offices in Bermuda on Thursday.

“As previously announced, EXOR’s acquisition of the Company is expected to close during the first quarter of 2016, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including antitrust and insurance regulatory approvals.
“All required antitrust approvals have been obtained. The insurance regulatory approvals remain on track for the transaction to close during the first quarter of 2016.”
