The Accession acquisition has materially worsened the risk profile across debt, integration, litigation, and technology dimensions simultaneously. A $7.6B debt load, goodwill nearly doubling to $15B, and a cluster of new acquisition-specific legal exposures — including pending FG Policies litigation and an IRS investigation into 831(b) tax shelter compliance — represent a concentrated, substantive deterioration. AI/cybersecurity risks were also substantially expanded, adding competitive displacement, third-party data exposure, and regulatory liability to an already elevated threat landscape.
