Clal Insurance plans to sell U.S. unit for $218 million Apr 8th 2012, 08:28 TEL AVIV | Sun Apr 8, 2012 4:28am EDT TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Israel's Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings (CLIS.TA) said on Sunday it has signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell its subsidiary Clal U.S. Holdings Inc for $218 million. Clal, a subsidiary of the IDB Holding (IDBH.TA) group, did not name the buyer. Clal U.S. Holdings owns U.S. insurer Guard Financial Group, which has shareholders' equity of $217 million, Clal said in a statement. It bought Guard five years ago for $120 million. The two sides set a deadline of 45 days to complete due diligence and sign a detailed agreement, though Clal said there was no guarantee a deal would be reached. Last year Clal, one of Israel's top two insurers, sold Lloyd's of London LOL.UL insurer Broadgate Underwriting to Torus Insurance Holdings of Bermuda.
