CNPAF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- CNP Assurances, a France-based personal insurer, has entered into an agreement with Rentipar Seguros for the sale of its stakes of 83.52% and 83.57% respectively in Global - Companhia de Seguros and Global Vida - Companhia de Seguros de Vida, together termed Global Seguros, for a total consideration of E117 million, valuing both companies at E140 million for 100% of share capital.

Subject to customary regulatory approvals, the closing of the transaction should occur during the first quarter of 2010, said CNP Assurances. The price is subject to an adjustment mechanism based on the change in net asset value and should allow CNP Assurances to book a net capital gain of approximately E25 million.

Following the recent partnerships signed with Barclays Bank in Spain, Portugal and Italy and with Marfin Popular Bank in Greece and Cyprus, the proposed transaction completes the refocusing of CNP Assurances in southern Europe on its bancassurance core business, according to CNP Assurances.
