Two Chinese state investors plan to sell a combined 98.78% of their stakes in Dajia Insurance Group, the revamped entity of embattled Anbang Insurance Group (ANBANG.UL), for 33.6 billion yuan ($5.19 billion), according to an auction filing on Friday.
China Insurance Security Fund Co Ltd, the state rescue fund for the insurance sector which is controlled by the Ministry of Finance, aims to auction all of its 98.23% stake in Dajia for 33.38 billion yuan.
China Petrochemical Corp is auctioning its 0.55% stake in Dajia for 186.9 million yuan, according to an auction statement filed to the Beijing Financial Assets Exchange.The move marks the latest development in the restructuring and divestiture of Anbang, which appears to have stalled since February 2020, when the country's top banking and insurance watchdog said Dajia "was close to a decision on a batch of strategic investors" and "would remain privately owned".
The Chinese government took control of Anbang Insurance Group in February 2018 as part of its sweeping campaign to reduce systemic financial risk after an asset-buying spree by a handful of private-sector conglomerates. It finished running Anbang in 2020, and handed over Anbang's management to Dajia, a newly established entity that took over Anbang's assets.
Dajia currently has total assets of 21.1 billion yuan and total liabilities of 584.6 million yuan, the filing showed. In 2020, it posted a net profit of 2.9 billion yuan, the filing added.Our Standards:Subscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
