Asia Insurance, Chong Hing Insurance Company, Shanghai Commercial Bank, and CMB Wing Lung Agency have also agreed to sell their interests in Hong Kong Life to Yue Xiu Enterprises, pending regulatory consent.
The sellers opine that having a single shareholder in control would be better for the growth of Hong Kong Life.
According to the company’s directors, the sale will unlock “substantial value” for shareholders.
In a previous attempt in 2018, OCBC terminated its plan to sell a 33.33% stake in Hong Kong Life due to non-fulfilment of closing conditions.
Hong Kong Life offers a wide range of services, including universal life, medical & dread disease coverage, accidental & disability coverage, and term life insurance.
The business reported a net loss of before taxation and extraordinary items of HK$484.1m in 2023, compared with HK$504.9m in the prior year.
