UK Insurance Group Aviva Sells SingLife 25.9% Stake & Debt Instruments to Sumitomo Life Insurance Company for $990 Million
Singapore | Leading financial centre in Asia
13rd September 2023 – Aviva plc (“Aviva”) today announces that it has agreed to sell its 25.9% stake in Singapore Life Holdings Pte Ltd (“Singlife”), together with two debt instruments, to Sumitomo Life Insurance Company (“Sumitomo Life”) for total consideration of £0.8 billion (SGD 1.4 billion) payable in cash at closing.Sumitomo Life will pay consideration of £0.5 billion (SGD 0.9 billion) for Aviva’s equity stake and £0.3 billion (SGD 0.5 billion) for the two debt instruments. Sumitomo Life is currently a 23.2% shareholder in Singlife and sees Singapore as a key market within its overall Southeast Asia strategy.
In 2022, Singlife contributed £17 million to Aviva’s operating profit.The combined carrying value of the equity stake and debt holdings contributed £729 million to Aviva’s IFRS 17 net asset value as at 30 June 2023. The transaction would have increased Aviva’s Solvency II shareholder surplus as at 30 June 2023 by £0.4 billion and the Solvency II shareholder ratio by c.8 percentage points. It would have increased centre liquidity by £0.8 billion.The equity value represents a multiple of 2.2x Solvency II Unrestricted Tier 1 capital as at June 2023.
Aviva’s exit from the Singlife joint venture represents a further step in the simplification of Aviva’s footprint following the international disposal programme completed in 2021. It is also consistent with the group’s ambition to focus on its capital-light business units. Aviva sold its majority stake in Aviva Singapore to a consortium led by Singlife in 2020.
The disposal proceeds will be considered alongside Aviva’s existing capital management framework. Under this framework, any surplus capital is available for reinvestment in the business, bolt-on M&A, and/or additional returns to shareholders.The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals where required, and is expected to complete in Q4 2023.
About Singlife
The life insurance joint venture was formed following the merger of Singlife and Aviva Singapore in 2020, bringing together Aviva’s scale and leading franchise with Singlife’s innovative and digitally focused capabilities.
