PRESS: Phoenix Group finds buyer for European business - Sky News

Mon, 17th May 2021 20:48

(Alliance News) - Phoenix Group Holdings PLC is close to agreeing a GBP550 million deal to sell its European operations, Sky News reported on Monday.

The deal with European Life Group Holding could be announced as early as this week, Sky News added. Sky News noted European Life is backed by US investment firm Sixth Street.

Phoenix back in November confirmed it was mulling a possible sales of its European business. In light of interest from third parties for the European business, Phoenix said it was assessing a range of strategic options to maximise value for shareholders, but added there was no certainty that a transaction will be achieved.

The long-term savings and retirement business in February struck a deal to buy the 'Standard Life' brand from Standard Life Aberdeen PLC. SLA, an investment and asset management firm, then announced plans to change its name to Abrdn PLC.

Phoenix shares closed down 0.8% to 729.60 pence each in London on Monday.

Sunday newspaper round-up: Two meters, Rolls Royce, Clinigen

(Sharecast News) - Senior scientists have reported flaws in an influential World Health Organization-commissioned study into the risks of coronavirus infection and say it should not be used as evidence for relaxing the UK's 2-metre physical distancing rule. Critics of the distancing advice, which states that people should keep at least 2 metres apart, believe it is too cautious.
