Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The discussion set forth below under “Item 2.01 – Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets” is incorporated in this “Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.”

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On February 7, 2008, Quanta Capital Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Quanta 4000 Holding Company Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Chaucer Holdings PLC (“Chaucer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of its interests at Lloyd’s to Chaucer. Previously, the Company participated in the Lloyd’s of London insurance market through its investment in Syndicate 4000, which is managed by Pembroke Managing Agency Limited (“Pembroke”). Pembroke is a joint venture among the Company, Chaucer and the Syndicate 4000 underwriting team. For the 2007 underwriting year the Company provided 90% of the capital of Syndicate 4000, and an affiliate of Chaucer provided the remaining 10%. The Company’s interests at Lloyd’s that are subject to the Stock Purchase Agreement include its 100% interest in Quanta 4000 Ltd. (which is a corporate member of Syndicate 4000), its 15% interest in Pembroke JV Ltd. (which owns Pembroke) and its deposit of approximately $116.0 million with the Society at Lloyd’s, known as “Funds at Lloyd’s.” The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, in consideration of the equity interests in Quanta 4000 and Pembroke, the Company will receive the return of its Funds at Lloyd’s. On February 13, 2008, the Company completed the disposition by transferring to Chaucer its interests in Quanta 4000 Ltd. and Pembroke JV Ltd., and the Company received the return of its Funds at Lloyd’s from the Society at Lloyd’s.
