Deal rationale and strategic fit

  • Full ownership of the leading Belgian insurer strengthens the group’s core, enhances strategic flexibility, and supports Elevate27 ambitions, aligning with a focus on consolidated, cash-generative activities and future inorganic growth opportunities.

  • Acquisition consolidates market leadership in Belgium, leverages multi-channel distribution expertise, and deepens technical and operational collaboration.

  • The 15-year renewal of the bancassurance partnership and deepened asset management collaboration with BNP Paribas Fortis reinforce long-term growth and expertise sharing.

  • Transaction aligns with the goal to balance mature European operations with growth in Asia and tilts the group profile toward cash-generating entities.

Financial terms and conditions

  • EUR 1.9 billion paid to BNP Paribas Fortis for the remaining 25% stake, making the acquirer the sole owner.

  • Financed through an equity placement of 18.5 million shares at EUR 60/share, existing cash, and debt facilities.

  • BNP Paribas will hold a 22.5% stake in the group post-transaction, with a shareholding cap below 25% to preserve autonomy.

  • Transaction is capital efficient, solvency-neutral, and delivers a levered ROIC of 15–16%.

Synergies and expected cost savings

  • Identified synergies include EUR 10 million, mainly from cash fungibility and minor cost savings at the corporate center.

  • Immediate uplift in Net Operating Result and recurring upstream cash flow, with HFCF per share projected to rise by 7–8% by 2027.

  • Shareholder remuneration target raised from EUR 2 to 2.2 billion, with annual 6% dividend per share growth commitment.

  • Strategic flexibility and operational synergies expected, but not yet fully quantified.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
