Allianz-Income merger in limbo as parties weigh new rules

A CEO said there is no guarantee that any transaction will take place.

Allianz and Income Insurance continue to explore potential modifications to their proposed acquisition deal, initially announced in July, both said in a local bourse filing.

The parties are actively reviewing the implications of a recent Ministerial Statement by Edwin Tong, which addresses regulatory concerns and amendments to the Insurance Act of 1966.

As of the latest update on 14 November, both Allianz, Income Insurance, and NTUC Enterprise Co-operative are in ongoing discussions to address these regulatory issues. 

“These discussions are still ongoing and there is no guarantee that any transaction will take place. Income Insurance will make further announcements if and when there are any material developments which warrant disclosure, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations,” Income Insurance CEO Andrew Yeo said in the filing.

Income Insurance has advised its shareholders and bondholders to exercise caution when dealing with the company's securities and to seek professional advice if needed.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
