By GlobalDataAfter completion of deal, Generali Worldwide will remain active and will work as the partner of the Generali employee benefits network for its existing and future clients.
Additionally, Generali Group will retain the health portfolio of Generali Worldwide in the Caribbean, which will be run by the global health division of Generali.
Generali believes that the deal will have a positive impact on the group’s Solvency position as it will add nearly 0.9 percentage points to its regulatory Solvency II ratio.
Pending receipt of regulatory approvals, the transaction is scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of 2019.
Earlier in July, Generali signed an agreement to divest 89.9% of its German life insurance business Generali Leben to Viridium Gruppe.
