Midland Financial is an underwriter of non-standard automobile insurance.

About

Midland was a rapidly growing publicly-held underwriter of non-standard auto insurance with $180 million in annual premium revenues.

Situation

Midland's reserves were coming under pressure and Croft & Bender represented its Board in negotiating a sale to Danielson Holdings for $80 million. The transaction was terminated when the CEO's of both companies were killed in the crash of TWA Flight # 800.

Result

Croft & Bender was instrumental in quickly negotiating a subsequent agreement for the sale of the company to Progressive Corporation.
