Item 8.01 Other Events

On June 30, 2015, Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Kenmare Holdings Ltd. (“Kenmare”) entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with J.C. Flowers II L.P., J.C. Flowers II-A L.P., J.C. Flowers II-B, L.P. and Financial Service Opportunities L.P. (collectively, the “JCF II Funds”) pursuant to which Enstar and Kenmare, respectively, will purchase all of the non-voting preference shares of Cumberland Holdings Ltd. (“Cumberland”) and Courtenay Holdings Ltd. (“Courtenay”) owned by the JCF II Funds for an aggregate price of $140.0 million.

Enstar and Kenmare, respectively, own 100% of the voting shares of Cumberland and Courtenay. The non-voting preference shares held by the JCF II Funds provided the JCF II Funds with a noncontrolling minority economic interest in Cumberland and Courtenay. As a result of these transactions, Enstar and Kenmare, respectively, will own 100% of the voting and economic interests of both companies. The purchase and sale transaction is scheduled to close on October 1, 2015 and the closing is not subject to any material conditions.
