Deloitte assisted the Austrian insurer Vienna Insurance Group AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe (VIG) in the acquisition of the Dutch group Aegon’s non-life and life insurance, pension and asset management businesses in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Turkey. With a purchase price of EUR 830 million, this is one of Central Europe’s largest deals in the financial industry in 2020.
The transaction is subject to regulatory and antitrust approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 2021. Following this acquisition, VIG will strengthen its leading position in the Central and Eastern Europe region and will become the largest insurance provider in Hungary. In Romania, VIG is already present through Omniasig, Asirom and BCR Life, while Aegon has been active in life insurance and private pensions since 2007.
