December
1

Universal American Corp., a Rye Brook-based health insurer and managed care company, said that it agreed to reinsure nearly all of its life insurance and annuity business through Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Co., a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

The agreement, expected to go into effect during the first quarter, will generate $55 million to $60 million of after-tax statutory profit in Universal American’s insurance company businesses and will reduce required capital by approximately by $10 million to $15 million, the company said.

“This transaction strengthens our capital base and further allows us to focus on our core businesses,” Richard A. Barasch, chairman and chief executive officer, said in a written statement.
