Resolution Life Australia will be a new Australian-domiciled and Resolution Life-controlled holding company, which will assume the ownership of AMP Life.
Resolution Life will be responsible for all experience and lapse losses from 1 July 2018 until completion and is entitled to all AMP Life net earnings during that period.
The Board of AMP noted that disposal of AMP Life provides the best outcome for policyholders, the company and its shareholders and provides a significantly higher cash consideration.
Resolution Life Australia is expected to benefit from AMP’s history and experience in the Australian and New Zealand life insurance market.
