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.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On February 7, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the Stock Purchase Agreement referred to in Item 2.01 above. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Furthermore, the information contained in this Item 7.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Note 1 – Basis of Preparation
On February 7, 2008, Quanta Capital Holdings Ltd. (“Quanta” or the “Company”) completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Quanta 4000 Ltd. (“Quanta 4000”) for £1.00 and its 15% interest in Pembroke JV Co. (“Pembroke JV”) for £1.00, both to Chaucer Holdings PLC. (“Chaucer”). Quanta 4000 is a corporate member in Syndicate 4000 at Lloyd’s. Upon closing, Quanta 4000 Holding Company Ltd. received the return of funds that it had previously deposited with the Society at Lloyd’s that are known as “Funds at Lloyd’s” valued, at September 30, 2007, at $116.6 million. Prior to the transaction Chaucer owned 65% of Pembroke, and also provided certain services to Pembroke Managing Agency which is the managing agent of Syndicate 4000.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet presents the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007, assuming the sale of Quanta 4000 and Pembroke JV had occurred on that date. Such pro forma information is based on Quanta’s historical balance sheet included in the Company’s Form 10-Q at September 30, 2007 giving effect to the following adjustments: 1) elimination of the separate company assets and liabilities of Quanta 4000, 2) elimination of the investment in Pembroke that was recorded at cost. These are then adjusted for (i) certain intercompany amounts due from Quanta 4000 to Quanta and its subsidiaries that have been written off, (ii) bonus payments to management and employees of Syndicate 4000 that will be incurred by the Company as a result of the sale, and (iii) proceeds of the transaction, net of legal and professional fees.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations presents the financial results from the continuing operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 assuming the sale had occurred on January 1, 2006, as required by rule 11-2 of Regulation S-X. Such pro forma information is based on the Company’s historical consolidated statement of operations included in the Company’s form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the Company’s historical consolidated statement of operations included in the Company’s form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that the assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable. These estimates and assumptions have been made solely for the purpose of developing these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that actually would have been realized had Quanta 4000 Ltd. and Pembroke JV been sold as of the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company’s future financial position or results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto.
The following is a summary of the estimated net gain on the sale of Quanta 4000 and Pembroke JV on a pro forma basis if the sale had occurred on September 30, 2007: (in thousands)

Pro Forma net gain on sale

The actual net gain on sale to be recorded by the Company will be based upon the actual carrying values of Quanta 4000 and Pembroke JV as of February 7, 2008. These carrying values will include further results from operations in Quanta 4000, including Syndicate 4000, and Pembroke JV for the period from October 1, 2007 to February 7, 2008. As a result, the carrying values of Quanta 4000 and Pembroke JV and the actual net gain on sale could differ materially from the pro forma net gain on sale.
The Company’s Lloyd’s reportable segment does not represent only the aggregation of assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of Quanta 4000 and Pembroke JV. The Lloyd’s reportable segment includes Quanta 4000, Pembroke JV and also certain other contracts of insurance underwritten by Syndicate 4000, but recorded in other Quanta entities that were not sold to Chaucer in the transaction.
Quanta previously allocated certain costs to Quanta 4000. We have not made any pro forma adjustments in relation to these allocations as management believes the allocations to have been made on a reasonable basis.
Note 2 – Notes to the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
Pro Forma adjustments to Quanta’s historical balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 include the following:
a)

b)
