THE HAGUE, Netherlands –
“With the evolving market conditions, we mutually agreed that the future
of the variable annuity business in Japan is best served as a
wholly-owned part of our longstanding partner Sony Life”, said Alex
Wynaendts, CEO of Aegon. “I am confident that this change is in the best
interest of all stakeholders. This divestment allows Aegon to fully
focus on its most promising businesses in Asia serving the fastest
growing customer segments and offering the most significant
opportunities.”
The divestment is consistent with the company’s strategy to focus on driving profitable sales growth and sustainably growing capital generation. The divestment will not have a material impact on Aegon’s capital position and is expected to lead to an IFRS gain of approximately EUR 50 million, to be reported in “Other income” at time of closing. Upon completion of the transaction, the cash proceeds will be upstreamed to the group.
The details of the divestment are currently being finalized and will be subject to normal regulatory approvals for transactions of this nature. This is likely to be completed by the end of 2019. To facilitate the transition, Aegon will continue to support the operations with certain hedging, consulting and administrative activities during a transition period. An update will be provided once the full transaction agreements are signed.
Aegon will remain focused and committed to the fast-growing customer segments in Asia. Core products in the region include universal life insurance and protection products. Universal life insurance products are primarily offered through the High Net Worth segment via Transamerica Life Bermuda, which continues to expand geographically. Protection products are sold via direct-to-consumer channels and digital distribution platforms in the joint ventures, such as in China, where Aegon is committed to a protection led strategy focused on critical illness and whole life products enabling the joint venture to grow sales in the last five years. Aegon also invests in digital distribution platforms in other Asian markets to expand distribution capabilities. Furthermore, the successful Chinese asset manager joint venture, Aegon Industrial Fund Management Company, is a cornerstone of the growth strategy of Aegon Asset Management.
