LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The publisher of Britain's Daily
Mail said on Thursday it had agreed to sell its insurance risk
business RMS to Moody's Corporation for about 1.452 billion
pounds ($2.02 billion) in cash.
The founding family and leading investor in Daily Mail and
General Trust, the Rothermeres, said last month they
were ready to buy the group outright, contingent on the sale of
RMS and the completion of the listing of online car seller
Cazoo, which it partially owns.
