Cigna’s Life and Accident and Health (A&H) Insurance Business in Asia-Pacific Markets

On October 7, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the life and non-life insurance companies that house the personal accident, supplemental health and life insurance business of Cigna in seven Asia-Pacific markets, including Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Hong Kong and Indonesia and its interest in a joint venture in Turkey, for $5.75 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to be completed in 2022. The timing of completion is subject to required regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Huatai Group

Chubb maintains a direct investment in Huatai Insurance Group Co., Ltd. (Huatai Group). Huatai Group is the parent company of, and owns 100 percent of, Huatai Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai P&C), approximately 80 percent of Huatai Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai Life), and approximately 82 percent of Huatai Asset Management Co., Ltd. (collectively, Huatai). Huatai Group's insurance operations have more than 600 branches and 17 million customers in China. In November 2020, we completed the purchase of an incremental 0.9 percent ownership interest in Huatai Group for approximately $65 million, which was paid in January 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, Chubb's aggregate ownership interest in Huatai Group was approximately 47.1 percent. Chubb applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in Huatai Group by recording its share of net income or loss in Other (income) expense in the Consolidated statements of operations. In 2019, Chubb entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 7.1 percent ownership interest in Huatai Group. In July 2021, Chubb signed an agreement of intent to purchase an additional 6.4 percent ownership interest in Huatai Group. In connection with the agreement, Chubb paid a deposit of approximately $143 million. The purchase of the additional ownership interests is contingent upon important conditions. As Chubb’s ownership interest increases, we will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of consolidation accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, and other applicable regulations.
