Hub acquires Citizens Financial Group insurance brokers

Hub International Limited (NYSE:HBG)(TSX:HBG) has closed its acquisition of three insurance brokerages of Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (“CFG”).
Hub also entered into a previously announced strategic alliance with CFG as part of the transaction. As a result of the alliance, Hub and CFG will leverage their insurance and banking expertise to provide expanded products, services and support to clients.
Hub financed the acquisition largely through a new credit facility entered into with The Bank of Montreal.
