Allianz, one of the world’s leading insurers and asset managers, became the majority shareholder in Jubilee Insurance Company of Uganda Limited after completing the transaction to acquire a 66 per cent stake in the company from Jubilee Holdings Limited (JHL), East Africa’s largest insurance group.
A statement made available to New Telegraph said the stake acquired by Allianz represented 29,700,000 ordinary shares of Jubilee Insurance Company of Uganda. JHL will retain a 34 per cent stake, or 15,300,000 ordinary shares, in the company.
The General Business of Jubilee Insurance Company of Uganda Limited will change its name in due course to Jubilee Allianz General Insurance Company Limited, subject to approvals.
This is the second acquisition to be completed as part of an agreement announced on September 29, 2020, wherein Allianz agreed to acquire the majority shareholding in the short-term general (property and casualty) insurance business operations of JHL in five countries in Africa, namely Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Mauritius.
The first acquisition, in Kenya, was completed on May 4, 2021. The closing of the transactions in Tanzania, Burundi and Mauritius will follow shortly, subject to regulatory approvals. Coenraad Vrolijk, the Regional CEO of Allianz Africa, says: “We are really proud of this acquisition and we are looking forward to working together with Jubilee to build out the best general insurance company in Uganda and in East Africa.”
The partnership, which combines Allianz’s 130 years plus of experience in insurance and asset management with Jubilee’s regional knowledge and network, aims to bring world-class insurance to the East African markets. Nizar Juma, Chairman of JHL, says: “The successful completion of the transfer points to our commitment to contribute to the broadening of insurance in Uganda.
We thank the regulator and everyone who was involved in the entire process as we now have the opportunity to deliver superior product offering and customer experience to our mutual clients across all fronts.” TRY IT TONIGHT!!! —
