Zurich is already one of the largest insurers in the P&C space and many of the big US and Japanese insurers already have presence at Lloyds like Tokyo Marine, AIG, Berkshire, Markel, Travellers etc.
Also for Lloyds a key part of the value is the underwriting team, if they don’t like new prospective owner then a bid is a bad idea.
So I don’t see a counter bid happening..
