Flagstone joins bidding for IPC

Flagstone Reinsurance Holdings Ltd. last week made an offer for IPC Holdings Ltd., saying it would exchange 2.638 new common shares for each IPC common share plus $5.50 per share in cash, for a total value of $33.62 per share based on IPC's closing price of $22.77 last Wednesday. After Flagstone's offer, rival IPC suitor Validus Holdings Ltd. reaffirmed its existing bid for IPC, offering $3.75 in cash and 1.1234 Validus voting common shares for each IPC common share, for a total consideration of $28.86. IPC shareholders last month rejected a merger deal with rival reinsurer Max Capital Group Ltd.
