Zurich Insurance Group AG agreed to buy Assicurazioni Generali SpA’s RedClick unit for €337 million ($389 million) in cash to expand its non-life business in Ireland.

The two companies announced the deal in separate statements Monday, confirming an earlier Bloomberg report. Under the terms, Generali Spain will retain an additional €51 million of excess capital that is currently allocated to the operations, Generali said.
