Dutch financial services conglomerate ING said it is selling its reinsurance unit, NRG N.V., to Berkshire Hathaway for approximately 300 million euros–about $433 million at current exchange rates, while New York officials said they are approving a license for Berkshire to open a bond insurance company.
ING said the sale is part of its strategy of focusing on its core insurance, banking and asset management businesses.
ING said it would take a loss of 100 million euros ($145 million), on the sale. Berkshire Hathaway didn't make a statement on its side of the deal.
