Read the release

Storebrand ASA ("Storebrand") has entered into an agreement with ERGO International AG ("EI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERGO Group AG ("ERGO") to sell its 50% stake in Storebrand Helseforsikring AS ("SBH" or the "Company"). ERGO currently owns the remaining 50% of the Company.

SBH is a health insurance joint-venture in which ERGO International AG and Storebrand ASA each previously held a 50 percent stake. The Company is headquartered at Lysaker in Norway and offers medical expense insurance in the corporate and retail markets in Norway and Sweden.

"We have had a successful history of developing SBH together with ERGO for many years. After a strategic review we believe that it is in the company's best interest to be further developed under the ownership of one owner. We are therefore pleased to have reached an agreement with our long-term partner ERGO, that enables us to continue as a distributor of health insurance in the Norwegian and Swedish market." says Odd Arild Grefstad, CEO Storebrand Group.

The closing of the transaction is expected in the first quarter of 2024, with an estimated positive impact of approximately NOK 1.1 billion on Storebrand's Group results.

Completion of the transaction is subject to approval from the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (NFSA) and the Norwegian Competition Authority.
