The European Commission has cleared Talanx and Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance’s proposed acquisition of joint control over Towarzystwo UbezpieczeÅ„ i Reasekuracji Warta. Talanx is a subsidiary of German insurance company HDI; Meiji Yasuda is a Japanese insurance company. Warta is part of the Belgian KBC Group, but KBC is required to sell Warta pursuant to a state aid restructuring plan approved by the European Commission.
The acquisition was cleared because “the parties would have only a moderate combined market presence [and] the addition in market share resulting from the transaction is negligible.”
