NEW YORK, January 21, 2025 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, announced today that it advised 180 Degree Capital Corp. (“180 Degree Capital”), a publicly traded registered closed-end fund, on its definitive agreement to combine with Mount Logan Capital Inc. (“Mount Logan”), an alternative asset management and insurance solutions company focused on public and private debt securities in the North American market and the reinsurance of annuity products. The surviving entity is expected to be a Delaware corporation operating as Mount Logan Capital Inc. (“New Mount Logan”), with over $2.4 billion in assets under management and listed on Nasdaq under the symbol MLCI. New Mount Logan will focus on the high-growth private credit market with the benefit of a wholly owned regulated insurance solutions business with $1.1 billion in total assets.

180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan will combine in an all-stock transaction at an estimated $139 million pro forma enterprise value at closing. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, shareholders of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan will each receive an amount of newly issued shares of common stock of New Mount Logan based on the ratio of the net asset value per share of 180 Degree Capital relative to a valuation of Mount Logan of $67.4 million at signing, subject to certain pre-closing adjustments. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and approvals by each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s shareholders, as well as other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be completed in mid-2025.
