Generali has reached an agreement for the sale of its Irish and Northern Irish P&C operations, carried out through the Irish and UK (Northern Ireland) branches of Generali Spain under the RedClick brand, to Zurich Insurance Europe AG and Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, UK Branch, both part of the Zurich Insurance Group, for \u20ac337 million in cash.<\/p>\n

\"generali-logo\"Generali noted that the transaction aligns with its focus on core insurance markets, where it already has significant scale and a leading presence, and complements its \u2018Lifetime Partner 27: Driving Excellence\u2019 strategic plan.<\/p>\n

According to the firm, the sale should generate a capital gain, to be finalised upon completion.<\/p>\n

It is also projected to have a negligible impact on Generali\u2019s adjusted EPS and an estimated positive contribution of around 1 percentage point to the Group\u2019s Solvency II ratio.<\/p>\n

Generali Spain will reportedly retain an additional \u20ac51 million of excess capital that is currently allocated to the relevant Irish P&C operations.<\/p>
