Generali hails completion of the first green catastrophe bond

Italian and global insurance giant Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. has hailed the successful completion of its first green catastrophe bond issuance, the EUR 200 million Lion III Re DAC transaction.

The deal was launched to the cat bond investor community earlier this month, and benefiting from strong investor demand Generali secured it at attractive pricing, as we’d previously explained.

The company said today that the EUR 200 million cat bond, which is exposed to windstorms in Europe and earthquakes in Italy, is “the first ever ILS issuance that embeds innovative green features in compliance with the Generali Green ILS Framework.”
