Arch Insurance North America (Arch Insurance), part of Arch Capital Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: ACGL) (Arch), today announced it has closed the acquisition of the U.S. MidCorp and Entertainment insurance businesses from Allianz originally announced on April 5.

The new Arch MidCorp and Entertainment businesses will report to Mark Lange in the recently created role of Chief Middle Market Executive. Lange previously served as Chief Strategy Officer for Arch Insurance North America.

“We are thrilled to welcome these talented individuals to Arch and look forward to earning the trust of their existing clients and distribution partners,” said Matt Shulman, CEO for Arch Insurance North America. “Under Mark’s leadership, we will continue to drive growth, deliver exceptional value to customers, create opportunities for our new colleagues and Pursue Better Together as a united team.”

Lange added: “I’m looking forward to working with this talented and experienced team to help build out Arch’s middle-market platform. One of our guiding principles throughout this transaction has been to emphasize continuity and to maintain a customer-centric mindset, and I know we’re all ready to hit the ground running.”

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as financial advisors to Arch, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP served as the Company’s legal advisor.
