Ageas, a Belgian multinational insurance company, signed a share purchase agreement on 23 February 2021 with British insurance group Aviva to acquire its 40% stake in AvivaSA, the fifth largest life insurance company and the leading private pension provider in Turkey, which is listed on Borsa Istanbul, for a total consideration of approximately GBP 122 million. Sabancı will retain its 40% stake in the company, which will allow the two long-time partners in the general insurance business to extend their collaboration to the life and pension business. The transaction is expected to close in 2021, subject to regulatory approvals.
