The UK’s competition watchdog on Thursday said Aviva PLC’s £460 million planned acquisition of AIG Life Ltd will not be referred to a phase 2 investigation.
In February, the Competition & Markets Authority launched an initial probe to assess whether the acquisition could reduce competition in the UK services sector.
In September, London-based insurer Aviva announced the acquisition of AIG Life from Corebridge Financial, a subsidiary of American International Group Inc, for £460 million.
Aviva said that acquiring AIG’s life-insurance and retirement-services division would add 1.3 million individual protection customers and 1.4 million group protection members to the company’s existing portfolio.
Shares in Aviva fell 0.1% to 495.49 pence in London on Thursday morning.
